Minor Amusements

It's doubtful these pages will make you laugh out loud, but Mr. Toy hopes they'll generate a chuckle or two.

  • A CARTOON
    Just a small page that sums up Mr. Toy's feelings about his home town.
Click The Bird
  • MONTEREY PENINSULA LIGHT BULB JOKES
    Most of these were written by Mr. Toy, but he gives you the chance to do better.
  • MR. JEFFERS BUILDS HIS HOUSE
    This would be a true story if he tried to build it today.

  • THE ABALONE SONG
    A Carmel tradition since 1907. This link will open in a new browser window because it takes you to our history section. We've included it on this page because it's not just historical, it's hysterical, too!

"Full Dock"

A mildly amusing photograph from Mr. Toy's Photography Gallery and Picture Shop. Hang it on your wall or have it printed on a variety of home decor and gift items. Every purchase, big or small, helps support this website.

The following items have nothing to do with the Monterey Peninsula, but Mr. Toy would like to share them just the same:

  • EVOLUTION OF THE BREATH MINT
    From Mr. Toy's Mental Notes comes the story of how we became kissably fresh. This link will open in a new browser window.
  • TIFFANY
    A song without a melody. This was also published in Mr. Toy's Mental Notes so the link will open in a new browser window.
  • LITTLE JONI
    A poem for the little kids inside us.
