Over in London there is supposed to be a Test Match between England and Australia but rain is pouring in London.
On the most popular cricket website (Cricinfo) , folks are just posting jokes
Here are some
"I got another letter from this lawyer today. It said "Final Notice". Good that he will not bother me anymore."
"Doctor, Doctor I can't stop singing the Green green grass of home. Oh you have Tom Jones disease. What's that, Is it common? It's not unusual.... "
"That's unfair. I've been reading all jokes here, but when I made a chemistry joke, there was no reaction.""
"A buddy of mine has 7 dogs, each named after a day in the week. I asked him why he did that, to which he said well, every dog has his day"
"With all this rain around does anyone want to borrow an arc? I Noah guy"
"How often do I tell chemistry jokes? Well, periodically!"

3.55pm Hello everyone, very impressed by (most) of your jokes.
Tel: "3 astronauts went to the moon. Couldn't land. Full moon."
RevKev: "A man entered a pun writing competition. He submitted 10 puns hoping one would win, but no pun in ten did."
Danish Pastri: "I decided to get rid of the Hoover. It was only collecting dust."
"No matter how hard you push the envelope - it is still stationary!"
"Making the jokes a little more high-brow: There's only 10 kinds of people. Those that understand binary and those that don't! " That's the one (zero, one)
"Jokes about white sugar are rare but about brown sugar, demerara,"
"I am a big fan of steak puns," "They're a rare medium, well done."
"Sadly, all the good science jokes Argon,"
"If nobody laughs at your science jokes - keep telling them until you get a reaction. "
"Never forget that the urge to sing The Lion Sleeps Tonight is just a whim away, a whim away..."

(82,849 posts)Yes, for all intents and porpoises.
By the way, the envelope joke should be stationery, not stationary. But I presume you won't budge on that.

(269,506 posts)"HMRC told me my tax return was outstanding. It's strange really as I don't remember completing it..."
"A Polar Bear goes into a bar and asks if he can have a drink"Certainly" says the barman "what would you like?" "A Bacardi and ..........................................................................................Coke". OK, but why the big pause?". Dunno, I've always had them!"."

Hope he found his sense of humor eventually

(50,664 posts)The priest asks if anyone would like to say a word about the dearly departed.
A man steps forward to the pulpit, solemnly utters the word "plethora," then returns to his seat.
The priest says "Thank you, that means a lot."

(70,851 posts)But apparently other posters here find it distasteful. I agree with them that it's a "sick joke" but that's within the universe of "joke."

(7,143 posts)Donald Trump is playing a round of golf. As he begins to tee off, a funeral procession passes by on the road above. Trump turns to the procession, removes his hat and places it on his heart.
One of his companions says "Donald, I had no idea you were so compassionate!"
Another companion turns to him and remarks "Well, it was his wife after all."

(56,829 posts)Sarah Sanders runs up to Trump and says that she had a dream last night that he finally got the huge parade that he always wanted, not like the 4th of July one - it was a bright sunny day and thousands upon thousands of people were cheering wildly.
Trump responds, "That's great Sarah, was I smiling and happy?"
Sanders responds, "I couldn't tell sir, the lid on the casket was closed."

(119,063 posts)Believe it or not...this is the transcript of an actual radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. The Radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on Oct. 10, 1995.
US Ship: Please divert your course 0.5 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
CND reply: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
US Ship: This is the Captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, divert your course.
CND reply: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course!
US Ship: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CORAL SEA*, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. We have 6 destroyers in our carrier group. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!!
CND reply: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
The above is being transmitted around the Internet as an event that really took place, but it never happened. It is simply an old joke like those found in popular magazines:
