Have a laugh in 2025

Funny, but gosh, that looks OLD! Is it from an old movie?

Terrible news coming from Merseyside this evening.

The Birkenhead Tunnel has been closed and the speed limit will be reduced for the foreseeable future to 40 km. per hour.

 

The Highways Agency found over 200 dead crows on the tunnel approach recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.

 

A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, has confirmed in their report the problem was NOT Avian Flu but rather the cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts.

 

However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the ...bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with lorrys, while only 2% were killed by cars.

 

The Agency then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.

 

The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger.

 

They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Lorry"

If corn oil is made from corn, and olive oil is made from olives, what's baby oil made from? 

If you boil a funny bone it becomes a laughing stock.

Fred, I thought the UK was metric, so I was the one that changed it to KPH!  

My bad...

Fred, Canada officially switched to metric in the late 1960's but I think from what you said above, we're like the U.K. The transition was never 100% This  chart explains it quite well!

On most of those items we are the opposite!

eg. Height, person, now in centimetres. Weight; person, Kilogrammes, Food; pre-packed = grams,  or loose at a grocer = imperial,  Distance, miles. Most fluids are sold by the litre but you still get a pint in the pub
