I’m just back from the Chrismas lunch in the canteen. In my cracker I found half a joke – the other half had mysteriously vanished. Here’s what I read:
…at’s yellow and stays
…in the fridge?
…stard.
What’s the joke? My first idea was the following:
What’s yellow and stays
fresh in the fridge?
Custard.
But somehow it doesn’t seem very funny. 🙁
People suggested various kinds of custard to make it funny, but it didn’t really work. An alternative would be this:
What’s yellow and stays
within the fridge?
A bastard.
That doesn’t make you laugh either, does it?
Or what about an avian alternative:
What’s yellow and stays
calm in the fridge?
A bustard.
I think this is more absurd than funny… 🙁
I can see you’re all getting very frustrated by now, but relax! A Google search finally gave me the answer:
What’s yellow and stays
hot in the fridge?
Mustard.
