What happens if you cross an angry sheep with an angry cow?
You get an animal that's in a baaaad mooood!

I've looked and looked but I can't seem to see it anywhere. I'm sure I posted a joke about a chiropractor. I think it was about a week back.

[johncorrigan]

A guy goes to the doctor. The doctor says, 'You're a good bit overweight. You need to go on a diet.'
The guy says 'What do you suggest?'
The doc says' Try the banana diet!'
'What's that?'
'Well, it's like this. You have a banana on the Monday, skip Tuesday, have a banana Wednesday, skip Thursday, have a banana Friday and so on for a month!'
The guy says, 'OK, I'll try it.'
So he goes away.
At the end of the month the doctor phones him to find out how he got on. The guy's wife answers.
'How did your husband get on with the diet?'
'He's dead,' she replies.
'Dead!?!' says the doc, 'How did he die?'
'Heart attack,' says the wife.
The doctor says, 'That's terrible. Was it the bananas?'
'No!' says the wife, 'It was all the skipping.'

Great joke! Laugh out loud moment

A wild west gunslinger enters a saloon, gun in hand and roars: "who painted my horse yellow?"
An even larger gunslinger stands up and says menacingly: "I did."
Hesitating, the first gunslinger says: "I just wanted to tell you the first coat is dry"

Not a joke, but worth the notice of denizens of these boards, I feel, is the news from Oz that the Macquarie Dictionary has decided that the word of the year is shitification.

Hard to know where to post this....

Enshittification. The Guardian had an article on it a couple of days ago which I would link but they've gone down the 'register to read' route which would be frustrating for those who don't wish to. A Google search of the word did come up with an FT article by the person, Cory Doctorow, who coined the term last year, which should be free to read.

Thank you for clarifying, OOO.
The Guardian article quotes the Macquarie Dictionary definition as
“The gradual deterioration of a service or product brought about by a reduction in the quality of service provided, especially of an online platform, and as a consequence of profit-seeking.”
I hope that the link works.
