I had an interesting conversation with one of our members (who shall remain nameless) after last month’s newsletter. I was advised that the lexophiles were ‘Dad jokes’ and we should get back to wine cartoons in this section. So I have a choice more Dad Jokes or look for wine cartoons. I must have a wee obstinate streak in me somewhere.

I have decided to move away from wine jokes this month. Editor’s privilege you understand. I came across an item on “lexophiles”, a play on words, and decided I would try a few.
To write with a broken pencil is pointless.
No matter how much you push the envelope, it’ll still be stationery

A woman was driving home in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road.
She stopped the car and asked the woman if she’d like a ride. The woman thanked her and got in the car.
After a few minutes, the Navajo woman noticed a brown bag on the back seat and asked the driver what was in the bag. The driver said, “It’s a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband.”
The Navajo woman thought for a moment, then said, “Good trade.”

The pub had just closed and Paddy was taking a shortcut through the cemetery when he fell into a newly dug hole that the gravediggers had left uncovered. Paddy made a valiant attempt to get out but couldn’t make it. He gave up, pulled a bottle from his hip pocket and decided to settle in the corner until morning.
Half an hour later another drunk fell into the hole.
“You’ll never get out lad,” said Paddy
But he did, in one mighty leap.
