My brother just sent me these:

Coronavirus One-Liners (Groaners)

* Finland has just closed their borders, so nobody will be crossing the Finnish line.

* Due to the quarantine, I'll only be telling inside jokes.

* There will be a minor baby boom in 9 months. Then around the year 2033, we shall witness the rise of the "quaranteens."

* World Health Organization has determined that dogs cannot contract Covid-19. Dogs previously being held in quarantine will be released. To be clear, WHO let the dogs out.

* I'd tell you a Coronavirus joke, but I'd have to wait two weeks to see if you got it.

* I ran out of toilet paper, so I had to start using old newspapers. Times are rough.

* What do you call panic buying of sausage and cheese in Germany? A Wurst Kase scenario.

* In my day, you would cough to cover up a fart. Now you fart to cover up a cough.

* The grocery stores in France look like a tornado hit them. All that's left is de brie.

* So many Coronavirus jokes out there, it's a pundemic.

Did you hear about the guy who started a mud-bath spa in the Emerald City?

He calls himself the Wizard of Ooze.

AL GORE: I invented the chicken.
This answers the old question what came first, the chicken or Al Gore.

Here people asked who came first.

I think they are internet memes. A Karen is an entitled housewife, similar for the others.

I guess more of a 'meme' than an actual joke. I have seen the term 'Karen' in online comments used mostly by women. I think 'Karen' represents a blonde or bleached, unintelligent but superior, privileged finger pointing unpleasant person. 'Karens' point to problems but do not offer solutions preferring appeals to authority in place of constructive dialogue.

I have not heard of the others but assume "Susan" and "Brenda" were added to construct a joke about modern society.

In a bit of a reversal I know several nurses and other medical professionals enjoyed watching "General Hospital" and "Doctor Kildare" and now "Grey's Anatomy" while criticizing obvious errors and overly glamorous characters.

Reminds me of this,

View attachment 264322

Now that's a message we can all get behind...
I wonder if the sign painter meant to quote "The Prisoner" television series.
Number 6: "I am not a number. I am a free man!"
Number 2: "Ha Ha ha!"
