    A Stupid Joke About Elephants

    It was too hot to sleep, so I learned about how to differentiate species' of elephant from one another instead. And then I thought of a really, really stupid joke, which you now get to experience too...

  • I guess installing a sign was cheaper than retraining the helpline operators not to shout at everybody.

    Full image of A sign advertising a number for a "Customer Helpline" directly above a sign that advises "Ear protection must be worn".

  • Composite image showing (1) a woman at an alpine terrace bar wearing a red-and-white striped jumper, and (2) a skiier wearing a yellow-and-black striped snowsuit. They look somewhat like Wilma and Odlaw from the Where's Wally?/Where's Waldo? series of books.

    Where?

    I'm pretty sure that Wally/Waldo, Woof, and Wizard Whitebeard must be out on this mountain somewhere, too.

  • A pile of window frames, factory-fresh and covered with tape. propped against the side of a white house, on a gravel driveway.

    Installation of Windows has Stalled

    I was told Windows installation should take less than 20 minutes, but these ones have been sitting outside my house all day while the builders sit on the roof and listen to the radio. Do I need a faster processor?

  • Motivational poster showing a photograph from a Manchester street. A Pride flag banner is hanging from a post with the words "everybody welcome" at the top. Nearby, attached to the same post, a road sign has the words "except buses". The poster is captioned with the word "inclusivity" (in pride colours), and subcaptioned "the 'B' is not for Buses". The joke is that the 'B' in LGBTQ+ stands for 'bisexual' and not 'buses', although of course the real meaning of that street sign is to ban everybody from driving straight ahead except buses, so the joke isn't perfect.

    Inclusivity

    The 'B' is not for Buses.

    I know what it means, but my inner child still sniggers every time I see @CSSAnimista's effect "kenburns-bottom".

  • Graph showing, over time, the number of large tools increasing as a rake, midi-spade, post holer, rake and others are acquired. Each acquired tool is labelled with what it is. However: a hatchet, a pickaxe and two log splitting axes are not labelled.

    I made a graph to show how the number of large hand tools stored in our garage has changed this last year but I forgot to label the axes.

  • With #lockdown guidance as it stands, only six of the seven dwarfs can meet together in the park?
    The seventh dwarf won't be Happy.

    In fact, he'll be Grumpy.

    Which is a problem, because that means one of the six is Sneezy.
