Well, well, well. If that isn't three things we need to keep Baby Jessica away from.

That's me, Alice McFlurry, always coming in hot with the timely pop culture references.

In my defense, Mastodon didn't exist in 1987 when this story was last relevant.

@Alice I am sure there are enough GenXers who remember.
@Alice I bet you're wondering how I got here...
@Alice I blame the younger generations for not falling into wells enough.

@Basmitharts @Alice Lassie* would be of less use lately.

* I am not old enough to have actually seen this programme as a child.

@Alice

Even today, I remember to not fall into the well.

You fall in a well ONCE and now EVERYONE calls you "Baby Jessica" even though you're almost FORTY years old.

@Alice

I remember watching that baby get pulled out of the well on some Friday or Saturday, and then me and my high school buddies went out and did dumb things involving alcohol and vehicles.

@Alice some of us wish we were 40 years young
If you liked this terrible joke, I consider you a close friend and confidant.
@Alice Appropriate first name.
Reminds me of Alice Roosevelt: "If you have nothing good to say, come sit by me."
@Alice I can hear the Simpsons characters singing “We’re Sending Our Love Down The Well” as I type this.
@Alice no idea what it is about, but hahaha, just in case.

@Alice she's a grandma already, why is it even a thing today
@Alice don’t make me pull out Mariah Carey again
@glasspusher You should be proud to know me.
@Alice I would be, but I have self esteem issues
@Alice
I'm leaning towards, yes but it's hard to tell in the heat haze.
I’m going to hell for this.
And a variety of other things.

@Alice

Do they have A/C there? See you at the bar!

@bytebro @Alice You know the joke about "if Hell exists, all the engineers there will have airconditioned it already"? 🤭

@mahryekuh @bytebro @Alice Oh, that pairs well with my "If hauntings were real, engineers would exploit them to make energy and free refrigeration!"

Poltergeist throwing plates? Attach those to a generator!

Weird cold spot? Make a cooling loop for free A/C!

@hendric @bytebro @Alice I didn't know that one, but it's absolutely spot on. 😂
@Alice Oh, it's the hot dog. 😆
@Alice See you there, I’ll save a good seat. 😂

@Alice and I double to make sure it is confirmed

Can't be dilly-dallying in the afterlife too

@Alice

Antiques Roadshow called. They’d like to have a closer look at that joke. 😜

@Alice
Everyone gather round there’s a well fallin’

@Alice As a skinny guy, I was a bit miffed that they didn’t ask ME to squeeze down that hole in the ground to save the baby.

Sure the other guy didn’t have any shoulder blades, so that would be reeeeally hard to beat! But still.

@patmadigan I’m sorry, Pat! If I ever fall down a well, I want you to be the one that saves me.

@Alice

That was HORRIBLE!

@Alice

Can we have some more?

@Alice

I fell into a deep hole with water in it last night.

In my defense, it was dark, and I didn't see that well.

@Alice

Timmy didn't fall into the well. He was pushed...well, nuzzled in.

Drama dog!

@skydog @Alice Lassie wouldn’t do that to Timmy! :-)

@Alice

wait what

On April 11, 2026, after a domestic disturbance, county sheriff personnel arrested McClure at her Midland County home. She was charged with assault causing bodily injury involving family violence.[19]

@dannotdaniel Yeah, I remember when I originally posted this it was after I read something about a different delinquency on her part and I was like oh okay I think Baby Jessica is fair game for jokes now.
@Alice My aunt worked with her at a hospital in Midland, TX!
