CATERING FOR ALL SORTS - A DRABBLE.
He’d drawn the short straw, undercover waitress, his partner, much bigger, obviously male was the kitchen ‘washer-upper’.
He complained of sore red hands, ‘she’ complained of sore red toes and cursed her heels.
“Any leads yet?” ‘she’ whispered.
“Gotta be here somewhere,” he replied.
“It’s huge,” ‘she’ said, indicating the size of the tourist complex.
Then they saw a chef come down some stairs adjusting his clothing. Moments later another did the same, then another.
The two cops nodded at each other and rushing up the stairs made the bust.
Headlines next day read, “Too many cooks spoil the brothel!”

Groan!
A real groaner Angharad! I didn't see it comming, until the bust...
Thanks.
Stop me if you've heard this one.
That is bad, Ang, but this one is worse. It isn't original, but is so old that many may have forgotten it (and it requires a footnote for the residents of the Sceptered Isle and its more recent colonies.).
On a small pacific island there is a lagoon where a pod of dolphins live and the locals believes that these dolphins live for ever, but only as long as they are provided with squabs of the sea birds that nest on the cliffs on the other side of the isle.
It was Joe's job to feed the birds to the dolphins at noon each day. However, one day a monkey got in to the refrigerator where the prepared squab was kept. With only an hour before the sacred feeding time Joe ran across the island, rappelled down the cliffs and beating back the attacks of the adult birds robbed the nest. As he raced back to the lagoon, he was confronted by one of he Chief's pet lions!! (A descendant of a lion given to the king by a European explorer.) Joe froze, knowing that he had failed the gods by not taking care of the dolphins and brought doom on his tribe, and that he was about to get eaten too. But just as the animal prepared to leap the Chief's animal trainer hollered, "Down, Clearance! No!" and the large cat stopped in place. Joe quickly jumped over the cat and raced to the bay only to be arrested for carrying young gulls across staid lions for immortal porpoises*.
Bye now.
*in the US it is a federal violation to "Carry young girls across state lines for immoral purposes."
How?
How the heck do I stop you Jan, when you done told it already? It's alright, it is an all time great
groaner. I heard a different version from my eighth grade science teacher- "crossing spayed lions
for ill eagle-porpoises", which were these hybrid........ nevermind.
And speaking of brothels, another oldie: Didja hear about the young philosophy major who flunked out
for spending too much time at the cathouse? He'd put his whores before Descartes...

What borders on stupidity?
Canada and Mexico.

wow
That was almost as bad as the day my old Bio-Chem teacher in college asked the class, "how do you make a hormone?"
*after a long pause and a bunch of dumb looks from the class.*
"Don't pay her."
Much love, for puns.

Waterloo
What did Napoleon say the night before the battle of Waterloo, as he sat in his tent and took off his boots?
"I smell de feet"
What Old Boney Needed…
…was a Podiatrist.
Now was that a callous or a corny thought?
