This week’s jokes come from Mary
To the guy who invented zero, thanks for nothing. I should have been sad when my flashlight batteries died, but I was delighted. What do you call an alligator in a vest? An investigator. For a fungi to grow you need to give it as mushroom as possible. I was wondering why the ball was getting bigger, then it hit me. How does a penguin build his house? He glues it together. I wanted to buy a camouflage shirt, but I couldn’t find any.
No Tuesday news next week – back on the 13th October.
