[Stavros Kiri]

"Dad, I consider a career in organized crime."
"Government or finance?"

It reminds me of a movie with a father who was proud of his son who was studying in Italy; son told him he was specializing in Banks. When the father visited him unexpectedly, to his surprize realized that the son had forgotten to mention "Robbing ..." ...

I visited a windmill in York, and they had a poster with a sketch of Quijote on horseback charging a windmill, with a big red circle and diagonal bar over the top...

Well, I had to see that:

 

[jtbell]

Oh... York in the UK, not York in Pennsylvania. I'm pretty sure there are no windmills in York, South Carolina, because I drive through there occasionally.

That pun popped into my mind because I've been ripping a big box set of CDs and scanning the album covers, including this one, which ironically doesn't seem to include Sancho Panza. Maybe he's the shadowy figure to the left of the Don.

 

[Ibix]

Oh... York in the UK

Yup. This is its website: https://www.holgatewindmill.org/ It's fairly unusual, as I understand it, in having five sails.

Things you don't hear or say in Balloon World:

At school - Today we are having a pop quiz.
Meeting you dad - Hi Pop!

 

[Ibix]

Why did the chicken cross the road?

In some frames of reference the road crossed the chicken.

(The Einstein Reverse - a distant relative of the "in Soviet Russia, chicken crosses you" gag).

 

[fresh_42]

A neutrino walked through a bar.

 

[Stavros Kiri]

Why did the chicken cross the road?

I know a similar one:

[WWGD]

A neutrino walked through a bar.

"Don't they sell this instant-wine anymore?"

 

[jtbell]

BBQ 2018: What's your WLAN password?

My response: What's your MAC address?

 

[jtbell]

Two guys are ice fishing, sitting at adjacent holes in the ice. Guy #1 isn't having much luck, but guy #2 is pulling in one fish after another.

Guy #1: OK, what's your secret?
Guy #2: Mmmp mmmr mmmrms mmmrm.

[Borg]

That reminds me of a really lame one.

Why did the beauty contestant put peas in a blender?

Spoiler

Because she wanted whirled peas.

 

[Ibix]

Peas were one of the few things my son would reliably eat when he was little. He was happily scoffing a plate of them the day he was a year and a half old, so I explained to a friend that it was his eighteen month birthday and we were out on the peas.

I start to combine this joke with the fact that the Russians in a town I once visited used a different signal, the one we usually use for "Please slow down! Danger ahead." If it was linked to the average temperature?

Schoolboy error. The correct solution is to put the Scotch to one side, get on the bike, fall off, pick up the Scotch and cycle home. Unless you've been drinking, how likely is it that you'll fall off your bike twice in one day?
