Worst Joke Wednesday

[Neil_1]

Hi all

I know a while back there was a thread with some jokes on it - just to try and lighten the load for folk and to provide a few jolly japes and spiffy spifferoons (those words etched in my memory bank from the late and great Kenny Everitt).  However, I was far to lazy to try and find the other thread, so thought I'd start up a new one WJW.

Here we go people, something to start you off with:

"When I was a small boy, I had a dog named Tax.  I'd open the door and "Income Tax""

"That very same year, I had a bird called Enza.  I'd open the window and "Influenza"

Now, they can't be done on any other day - for it is after all, Worst Joke Wednesday.

See if you can beat either of those?

Ooops, there went my memory again. I posted a riddle & intended to reveal the answer Sept 1, if nobody had solved it.

Looks like no one did, even with extra days... too much cloud around, I guess.. because the answer is: Shadows.

What do you call a belt made of watches?

A waist of time!

[mmMekitty]

😀Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha I like that one, Fiatlux!

Anyone with an iPhone - have you asked Siri "tell me a joke"? She's got some really awful jokes! I'm not sure I could post them, like if Apple owns them, or not.

Well I suppose if 😸 can ask riddles we all can:)

Riddle: When is the only time that today and tomorrow come before yesterday?

I'll give the answer in a couple days if no one gets it (it is easy)

Croix, my answer is, 'In the Dictionary'

What kind of bread do you eat on Wednesday?
Hump-ernickel.

... & she said to the witch-finder, “If I’m a witch, you’re a frog”. ...

That's my awful joke I made up, just for BB!

Dear mmMeKitty

I"m sorry I don't get it:( Your joke is amazingly subtle.

Dear Fiatlux

You are of course quite right, so that earns you another:-

What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?

[Fiatlux]

What do witches in Australia ride? Broomerangs

Croix,

What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?

Thanks for this, I will work on the answer...

[mmMekitty]

Croix, I was just thinking, if thinking makes things so, as was the case for most so-called witches, then, were it true, the moment the witchfinder asserts the woman is a witch, she can have the power to turn him into a frog. She has the last laugh.

My thinking turned into a poor joke, I guess, [pouting LRC] but I thought is was funny at the time.

I haven't come up with an answer to your English word riddle.
