Could you please explain why this is funny? TIA.

I tend not to favour explaining jokes. Exegesis tends to destroy the humour. However, in this case I'd say the mutual incongruity of the two requirements in one person is the humour.

I found this extremely funny, although my sense of humor tilts toward the Monty Python variety, so: 1) absurdly non-matching skill sets; 2) unlikely to ever be requested together; 3) opening clams might endanger one's fingers. What also made this funny was that both jobs can exist at the same establishment. It wouldn't as funny, imo, if the posting was for, say, assembly line worker and opera singer.

And that's why I prefer jokes unexplained.

I took a picture of these cooking directions quite a while ago. Sorry I don't remember what it was other than it came from an Asian Market.

Totally normal here except when they read "Cook until cooked".

This is real. I've been to both places. Sandwich is a town in SE England and Ham a village to its south. But an amusing and much photographed sign.

I told you!

 

I warned you!

 

I made it clear that it was out to take over the world. And you scoffed and dismissed me! You continued to inflict misery upon me and, no doubt, unwittingly on yourselves, by maintaining the pernicious habit of infiltrating its image into these very forums in your preparations under the delusion that they are edible.

 

But after years of determined ferreting and stealth, I have unearthed irrefutable evidence of the ghastly evil intent of the pestilential weed from hell and its determination to take over by any means necessary.

 

It is attempting, unconvincingly I may add, to transmogrify into the stolen identity of a blameless and beloved vegetable, the onion. But don’t be misled! Be vigilant and stop the scourge!

 

The future of humanity depends on it.

 

Your honour, ladies and gentlemen of the jury – Exhibit A.

According to Professor Google, this is the only time "lasagna" and "anomaly" have appeared together on a web page—and I couldn't think of a better example.

"It is unclear if the lasagna also contained tiny meatballs."

 

Ummm...OK. If there is one thing I know, it is how to recognize a meatball when I see one.
