Three mischievous Grandmas were sitting on a bench outside a nursing home when an old Grandpa walked by.
One of the old Grandmas yelled out saying, 'We bet we can tell exactly how old you are.' The old man said, 'There is no way you can guess it, you old fools.
One of the old Grandmas said, 'Sure we can! Just drop your pants and under shorts and we can tell your exact age.' Embarrassed just a little, but anxious to prove they couldn't do it, he dropped his drawers. The Grandmas asked him to first turn around a couple of times and to jump up and down several times. Then they all piped up and said, 'You're 87 years old!'
Standing with his pants down around his ankles, the old gent asked, 'How in the world did you guess?' Slapping their knees and grinning from ear to ear, the three old ladies happily yelled in unison - -
'We were at your birthday party yesterday!'
David Thorne is beyond funny - In his piece Please design a logo for me. With pie charts. For free the chart above is included in the answer from David to Simon, who needs some help with logo design for a new project.
The rest of the emails and the illustrations attached made burst out laughing.

A copywriting post? By a copywriter about copywriting, for copywriters?
Hmmmmm. Tenuous.
Sometimes though………… you just have to laugh.
A few Christmases back I was round @jason and @phil_daniels place doing the Trivial Pursuit too much booze thing. Cheese and whine. Little Luke and his girlfriend Anna were there too, fairy lit and out if it.
Lots of laughs, happy times.
So we’d been playing for a while, wise-cracking, head in handing. Competitive insouciance. It was Little Luke and Anna’s go…..
Roll of the dice. Green – Science and Nature. Question time………….
‘OK, chaps. Listen in…… Are you ready?
Yes?’
Here we go.
‘What is…….. 500 times sweeter than cane sugar?’
Whispering, giggling…….sniggering, tutting, lip biting (not each others), slow intakes of tight breathe between clenched teeth. ‘Can we have a pencil and paper?’
Scribbling, scartching. Tick tock tick tock
‘Come on you two (they were taking forever) – get on with it.’
A long eventually later, the answer arrived……….
It nearly killed us. Deep down I’m still laughing.
What was it? What was the sum of their inspiration? Their genius answer?
Cliffhanger alert…….. I’ll post it next week.
In the meantime, what do you think? NO CHEATING!
‘Sweeter than cane sugar. What’s 500 times sweeter…. than cane sugar?’
In pre festive season fit of generosity there’s photo copy of a Low set list for anybody who even comes close to Luke and Anna’s answer.
