I need happy thoughts in these nasty times...

OK, I’ve had enough of the ‘C’ word! I want to smile again and not feel totally stressed out for just a few minutes. 

Tell me a joke...

I’ll start.

Q: Why do Sweden, Norway, and Denmark put bar codes on all their ships?

A: So they can scan-de-navy-in...

  • Points to ponder:
    Can a wine-taster be fired for drinking on duty?

    Can a singer be paid a flat rate?

    Can a clairvoyant be dismissed for being under the influence of spirits?

    If an employee with dark hair has their employment terminated, is that an automatically un-fair dismissal?

    If the leader of an orchestra waves their baton out of time, is that gross misconduct?

    If a Chartered Fellow is not a fellow, are they a non-fellow Chartered Fellow, or a Chartered non-fellow Fellow?

    O.k. Enough if this frivolity; I'm off back to the serious stuff to try and restore my now justifiably questionable reputation..... :-)

    Be safe.

  • A guy goes to a fancy dress party.

    The doorman asks, "What have you come as?"

    The guy replies, "I've come as a harp"

    The doorman looks him up and down and says, "No you haven't mate, you're far too small to be a harp"

    The guy says, "Are you calling me a Lyre?"

    Peter, whilst you’re pondering can you tell me ...

    Why is ‘dyslexia’ so hard to spell?
    Why is ‘abbreviation’ such a long word?
    And who thought putting an ‘s’ in ‘lisp’ was a good idea?

    In reply to Jonny:

    This is far too clever for me, Jonny. I Googled 'psychosomatic', which rather sucked the humour from the 'moment'.
  • In reply to Teresa:

    I don't know about the other two, but dyslexia is hard to spell so that we all get it wrong.
  • In reply to Teresa:

    Dyslexia is hard to spell so that anyone unable to spell it knows how a dyslexic feels when confronted with "babble" ...or is it dabble... or dubble ....or bobble ...or....

    Abbreviation is long because its inventors didn't want anyone to feel they were being sold-"short".

    Lisp? Clearly someone not sinking.

  • In reply to Teresa:

    And why does the abbreviation for 'world wide web' have three times as many syllables as the phrase it's meant to be short for?

    'Don't know, but you could probably look it up on the 'net.

    I've just entered Robey's wurst kase joke at the top of this thread in a WhatsApp coffeebreak challenge for my organisation to find the best coronavirus joke. I've followed up with Steve's lockdown meals cartoon. I think I have a winning entry.
