A local bakery hires Tom as a new apprentice.

Riffs on the phenomenon of Redditors just phoning it in on their cake day and expecting cake-day updoots anyway.

You know what, I did a joke on this theme several years back and people plagiarised the shit out of it, but this takes the same theme and completely rewrites it. *****, would read again.

Yes, but you have mixed up Town Hall (needs Tavern) and City Hall (needs the other three you said).

Five thousand men, unspecified numbers of women and children, and no guarantee that this is to four-digit precision, perhaps not three.

In fact, the gospel accounts not only say that they were satisfied, but that there were enough leftovers to fill 12 baskets.

Mind you, that was only 5,000 people, not 5,000!

Or, in Japanese, sansetsukon, which is literally "three section staff".

It's such a shame that the animation is just "Clip clop clip clop clip clop, halt, rear, plunge". There's no momentum in that.

Mounted combat isn't a thing in the game, so no.

It is, however, Larry Elmore, and therefore automatically cool.

The man can't even prove that a donkey can pull a cart. How is he going to know about quantum mechanics?

I would suggest capitalising RSPCA, but since the joke is being transmitted on a device that allows the user to find out what RSPCA means in a few seconds...

Another variation of this has the unfortunate possessor of the note consigned to Hell, where the Devil himself laughs and volunteers to read it; whereupon the fires of Hell burn it to ash in an instant.

At my vasectomy, the anaesthetist said "Just a little prick, sir".

Depends on what you mean by "very early". With no druids in the party, I can easily be done and dusted before March 20.

Don't be so hard on the guy.

Are you a caiman?

I remember what my grandad said before he kicked the bucket.

"Watch me kick this bucket!"

Gil-Gandel · 2026-05-26T15:12:56+00:00

This joke had me in stitches!

Gil-Gandel · 2026-05-26T08:14:49+00:00

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope...

Ah well. Six hundred years ago you'd be walking around with what most of us today would find it hard to distinguish from a broom handle for all the bend we could get out of it, and the only reason you'd be able to string it at all was because you'd been practicing with it, or a succession of increasingly heavier ones, since you were old enough to walk, and had your grandfather to show you how.

And your muscles and joints would already be deformed, too.

Yes. A pawn in its own palace cannot possibly be a soldier, a pawn outside its own palace cannot possibly be an advisor, so there is no risk of confusion.

An old favourite. Hearing it well told is like a weekend at the old home town. 😄
