How much fun can you have with 20p these days.  Not at lot really. 

But in our household last night we had 10 minutes of fun for 20p!  I can see you are impressed.

In Sainsburys yesterday, they were selling off packs of 10 Christmas Crackers for 20p per box, so not being able to pass up such a bargain, I bought a couple of packets.  My youngest son loves the thrill of finding what’s inside even if it’s a bit rubbishy.  Who am I to spoil that?

We had one of their friends over last night too, so after tea I opened the box.  I’m not kidding they all rushed over to grab their booty.  And yes, for ten minutes we were all laughing at the silly jokes inside the crackers.

Here are a sample:

Q: Why, can’t you play jokes on snakes?

A: Because you can’t pull their legs.

Q: Why did the jelly baby go to school?

A: Because it wanted to be a smartie.

Q: What do you give a sick pig?

A: Oink-ment

Q: Why are false teeth like stars?

A: They come out at night.

Q: How do you start a bear race?

A: Ready, teddy, go.

What’s your favourite cracker joke?

Oh yes and are you a joke spoiler or a joke ‘let them give you the answer even when you know it’?

If my children are telling the joke I usually let them tell the answer, but if it’s an adult I can’t help but show my ’superior’ joke knowledge!!!

(I am being ironic here by the way, I always forget jokes.)
