I loved this post a few down

American tourists were in Co. Clare, Ireland, visiting the lovely Bunratty Castle. So they pulled up on the hard shoulder of the motorway, to take a picture of old historical building. The Yank turned to wife & said.
"Its a shame they built the castle so close to the motorway".

on edit
and this one


Norfolk is the only county in the UK without any confirmed cases of coronavirus

The total lack of transport links to the rest of the UK is finally paying off

My friend owns some land about a mile from the highway on an old country road. The land was the site of the first cabin built west of the Mississippi in Iowa - or some such historical significance.

He had a picnic and was showing folks around in a group of about 10 of us. When he mentioned the cabin a woman spoke and said rather slowly "why ..... did they build it so far from the highway?" Nobody laughed.

...until Republicans made it impossible to distinguish that from genuine, proud-of-it dumbassery.

Not too many Trumpers are big fans of the Liverpool Football (as in soccer) Club, and he doesn't seem to like Boris either.

Hmmm, perhaps "dry humour" would be proper.
