Merry Christmas

Tradition is traditional at Christmas so, to continue the tradition of previous years, I offer you more Christmas cracker jokes! This year there are three, one of them written by me. A special prize* if you can work out which one:

  1. Knock, knock.
    Who's there?
    Wayne.
    Wayne who?
    Wayne in a manger.
  2. Why does Father Christmas have three Gardens?
    To Ho-Ho-Ho
  3. Why didn't the lawyer get any Christmas presents?
    Because of the Santa clause.

Sources (in no particular order): Telegraph, me, Susan Hill. Those of you who like bad puns like these may also be interested to read about the Punic Wars.

Lastly, to complete your Christmas joy, why not look at this page through the Lolinator (via Tom Roper).

* Christmas goodwill.

Merry Christmas

As I explained last year I don't work Fridays, and college is closed until a.d. iv non. ian. mmvii. So, merry Christmas and a happy New Year! To keep you going, I offer a choice of Christmas cracker joke:

  1. A group of chess contestants in a hotel reception are bragging about how good they are. The manager asks them to leave as he doesn't want "Chess nuts boasting in an open foyer"
    Source: Gordon, Birmingham, a comment to Your favourite Christmas cracker jokes, Telegraph.co.uk
  2. What do you do if a kitten spits at you?
    Turn the grill down
    Source: Cristmas Crackers by Rob Manuel. Warning: this is one of the pleasanter ones.
