In their unadorned state, here are three jokes from colleagues about the demise of Osama Bin Laden.
- “Have you heard about Starbucks’ new coffee, the Osama Bin Latte? It’s a frothy white head, with two shots in it.”
- “The DNA analysis of Bin Laden’s body has just been returned: 24% cocoa, 52% coconut, 18% sugar, and 6% milk. Experts say this is probably due to the bounty on his head.”
- “What do Kate Middleton and Bin Laden have in common? They both got their back doors smashed in last Sunday and were shot in the face by a bloke in the Navy.”
This last joke – a particularly “time sensitive” one, given its proximity to the Royal Wedding – was greeted by Baffled Chap Account Director with the response: “Of course, technically, he’s not in the Navy.” – which is such a brilliant thing to have said that I almost can’t cut my fingernails any more.
