During lunch at work today, I read aloud the joke on my Penguin bar (for the record, the joke was “What did Pooh say to his agent?” -> “Show me the honey”). Naturally this caused much slight merriment in the audit room, and lead one of the girls to pose the question of who exactly it was who writes all these jokes?* After a moment’s contemplation, she came out with “I bet it’s someone like you”.
Well, there we go.
*We went on to decide that whoever it was must be the same person who does all the jokes that go inside Christmas crackers, and that they’ve probably cornered the market in a somewhat similar way to that company who does all the muzak that you hear in lifts/while sat on hold on the phone/coming out of palm trees in tacky holiday resorts/etc. etc…
Did you hear that Sophie Ellis Bexter was found headbutted to death in a French Footballers front room today?
It was murder on Zidane’s floor…
I want to cry - that was so bad.
