Dog #1: I’m worried about my human. I think he might have some kind of memory problem.

Dog #2: Why do you say that?

Dog #1: Every time we meet, he asks the same question over and over: “Who’s a good boy?”“Who’s a good boy?”“Who’s a good boy?”

I play fetch with my dog using a boomerang. Wonder what he thinks to himself.

If I worked at IKEA, I would have given the children's products the appropriate names.

The beds "Roara" and "Nitslip", the children's plate "Tastynasty" and the wardrobe "Dawdly" would certainly be bestsellers.

At McDonald's: Filet McNasty. MadMag ( RIP) did a bit on "IKrappa" , ripping IKEA. It seems IKEA took it as a compliment.

To understand the following joke, pronounce the punchline with a New Zealand accent.

In New Zealand, I asked one of the locals where I could buy flat-pack furniture.

He replied, "Does it look like I care?"
