THE BEST MEDICINE

HOOK, LINE AND SINKER

Two men have been ice fishing all day. One has no luck, while the other has pulled out a tonne of fish.

“What’s your secret?” asks the unlucky fisherman.

“Mmmmm mmm mm mmm mmmm mmm mmm,” is the reply. “I’m sorry; what did you say?” “Mmmmm mmm mm mmm.” “I still don’t understand you.”

The lucky fisherman spits something into his hand and says slowly and clearly, “You’ve got to keep your worms warm.”

PLURALITY

A zookeeper is ordering new animals. As he fills out the forms, he types “two mongeese”. That doesn’t look right, so he tries “two mongoose”, then “two mongooses”. Giving up, he types, “One mongoose, and while you’re at it, send me another one.”

Everyone knows hipsters are like human bedbugs. You see one, there are probably 40 more under your bed, judging your music.

FUNNY MONEY

As my Dad used to say: “Money – you can’t take it with you.” Which led to some pretty boring holidays.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS...

An elderly man is reminiscin­g to his grandson about the good old days. “When I was your age,” he says, “my mum could send me to a shop with a single dollar, and I would bring back five kilos of potatoes, two loaves of bread, a bottle of milk, a piece of cheese and ten eggs. Nowadays, that’s impossible – there are simply too many security cameras.”

NOTHING TO SNEEZE ABOUT

I was walking along the other day, and on the road I saw a small, dead, baby ghost. Although thinking about it, it might have been a handkerchi­ef.

You know it’s time to do the laundry when you dry off with a sneaker.

@TONYCOWARD­S ON TWITTER I’ve never worked out the moral to Humpty Dumpty. Is it “don’t let horses perform medical procedures”?
