Toad Redux

Q: Why did the chicken cross the toad?

A: Autocorrect!

I look pretty hot in everything except maxi-dresses.

Nobody looks good in a maxi-dress.

Time and peristalsis wait for no-one.

A new study shows that people will believe almost anything that begins “New study shows.”

Why do I feel like I’m living in a Philip K. Dick novel?

Probably “Now Wait For Last Year.”

I don’t believe in karma.

I’m still trying to decide how I feel about korma!

Toilet paper shortage?

I’m switching to a low fibre diet for the duration.

I’ve come to the conclusion that conspiracy theorists bypass Occam’s razor in favour of Occam’s epilator!

True story and not a joke. Some time in the early 1920s Christopher Robin Milne is feeding condensed milk to a bear named Winnie at London Zoo.

Milne named his toy bear after Winnie and his father made a famous book or two featuring the pair of them and some other toys.

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the publication of the first Winnie-the-Pooh book in 1926.
