Okay, I know it isn’t Wednesday today, but I have a joke to post, and when Wednesday becomes today I may have forgotten it, so I’m not gonna wait until it’s too late, when I could post it whilst it’s still fresh in my memory. As the old saying goes, “Don’t put off to tomorrow what you can do today!” Wait... but tomorrow’s Tuesday, not Wednesday, so I should wait until then to post it, otherwise that analogy makes no sense... eh, I’m postin’ it anyway. 😅

A guy sits at the counter in a coffee bar, and the barista serves him. “You’re a new face,” she says with a smile.
The man sighs and shakes his head, before replying, “You have no idea of the accuracy of that statement...”
The barista grins. “Nose job?”
The man chuckles. “Nor that one. Oh... I’m Ted.”
“Wendy.”
The man nods. “I know.”
”Oh... uh-“
”Your name tag.”
The barista nods. “Right... so then, Ted, what’s your story?”
Ted’s eyes widen. “Well... not much to tell, really. I used to be a house in Bavaria... oh, uh... in Germany.”
Wendy nods. “I know. I got it.”
Ted nods. “A-Anyway... but then a djinni from the Elemental Plane of Air decides to turn me into a human - for fun - and just leaves me there. Alone, naked, in a little tree-lined corner of Europe.”
Wendy’s eyebrow raises. “Seriously?”
Ted presses his chest, and a doorbell chimes.
Wendy laughs. “This is great!”
Ted smiles. “It was great... at first. Being human, being able to go... anywhere, do things like... eat food, say things-“
Wendy smirks. “Wear clothes?”
Ted holds out both hands with a grin. “Right?” His expression sours. “Now, I’m stuck in a 9-to-5 job in a novelty face accessory emporium, and I’m exhausted... all... the... time...”
Wendy chuckles. “Well, welcome to Humanity, ex-häus Ted.”
