I prefer the punchline, "The bartender says, 'There seems to have been a clerical error.'"

A priest, a pastor and a rabbit walked in to blood donation clinic. The nursed asked the rabbit: "What is your blood type?" "I am probably a type O" said the rabbit.

I once ordered a paella pan from Aldi. They sent me a bag of chicken marbella instead.

Forget the debate on whether or not it's acceptable to put pineapple on your pizza. Try this!

This subject actually made a few headlines in The Netherlands, as pizza chain Domino's announced they're saying goodbye to pizza hawaï and pineapple. April Foolsday campagne, I guess.

If that's real and not digitally altered, that's a classic. On a related note, Ms Alex once had a student who wrote about taking up dog breading as a hobby. (We have an extensive collection of amusing typos from our students over the years. Other food-related ones include a student who liked crap cakes, and another who liked porn & beans.)

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power.  -Robert G. Ingersoll, lawyer and orator

 

Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles. -George Jean Nathan, author and editor

 

A sense of humor is a measurement of the extent to which you realize that we are trapped in a world almost totally devoid of reason. Laughter is how we express the anxiety we feel at this knowledge.

-Dave Barry, humorist

According to my late brother-in-law who was a friend (schoolmate) of our boy Rodney, he likes his scran, so I imagine he used freshly made mayo meticulously crafted by nubile, but innocent handmaidens chosen for their strict morals and clean hands.
