    I asked at the chemist “What kills Coronavirus?”
    “Ammonia cleaner”
    “Sorry,” I said “I thought you were the pharmacist.”

    I hear that all the people arriving at John Lennon Airport are being put in isolation.
    Imagine! All the people.

If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

        I'd really need to have chapter and verse on those careful explanations, never ever having heard any celebrity make any such claim. There were plenty of careless racism and accusations of such on Twitter, Facebook etc., as one would expect, but how is one not to know that the former were just trolls trying their best to impugn by false attribution?

          ***URGENT RECALL***

          Supermarkets are currently recalling toilet
          paper as the cardboard roll inserts are
          imported from China and there are strong
          fears the cardboard has been contaminated
          with the coronovirus.

          The most recent purchases are deemed
          most likely to be contaminated.

          If you have recently bought bulk supplies you
          are now at risk... return that toilet paper and
          apply deep heat directly to your anus to kill
          any infection - don't wait till it's too late.

            For some reason the current advice about the risk of infection from cash handling made me think of money laundering...

                  I heard Max Miller telling this clean joke in the 1940s / 50s. Maybe it's well-known.

                  Jim joined a ship as the ship's boy and was told by the captain to go on board that night to keep watch and if he saw any lights he was to run down below to report it to the captain.

                  After a while Jim saw a light and reported it, but the captain dismissively said "I saw that light half an hour ago", and so Jim resumed watch. Then he saw another light and ran to tell the captain but was again told by the captain that he had seen the light half an hour ago.

                  The third time the lad ran to report a light the captain was perplexed. "What light was that; I didn't see it", and the lad retorted, "Daylight; and I bet you didn't see that half an hour ago!".

                              French supermarkets look like a bomb site. The only thing left is de brie.
                              Greece supermarkets are running low on hummus and taramasalata, leading to fears of a double-dip recession.
