FUNNY FRIDAY

 -------😊-------




-Something different today for Funny Friday – it’s all corn.

By the way #1:

Here are some explanations for the origin of the term “corny” to describe jokes 
  • It’s been a term of derision only since the 1930s, when something that was “corny” or “cornfed” or “on the cob” was rustic, countrified, old-fashioned, unsophisticated and behind the times – and hence trite or hackneyed.
  • It first was used by jazz musicians, who called a style of playing “corny” if it was outmoded or worn out. This is the Oxford English Dictionary’s first citation, from 1932: “The ‘bounce’ of the brass section … has degenerated into a definitely ‘corny’ and staccato style of playing.”
  • Another theory is that at the beginning of the 20th century, seed companies in America started sending out catalogues to the farmers to advertise their goods. To spice up the catalogues, they would sprinkle jokes and cartoons throughout the pages. The jokes on the pages were of low quality and the jokes came to be known as "corn jokes", which was then shortened to "corny", and eventually applied to all humour considered unsophisticated.
  • It is possible that both theories are true. Perhaps it was farmers who first came up with "corny," only to have the term turned against them by urban sophisticates.
By the way #2:

A little silver-haired lady calls her neighbour and says “Please come help me, I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get started.”

Her neighbour asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?”

The lady says, “According to the picture on the box, it’s supposed to be a rooster.”

The neighbour decides to go over and help with the puzzle.

She lets him in and shows him where she has all the pieces spread all over the table.

He studied the pieces for a moment, looks at the box, turns to her and says, “First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster.”

He takes her hand and says, “Secondly, I want you to relax. Let’s have a nice cup of tea, and then,” he says with a deep sigh,

“Let’s put all the corn flakes back in the box.”
