I know, I know. You're thinking, who the hell has time to look at 500 funny photos? Well, guess what, tough guy? YOU do. Because what would you do instead?

In the aughts, after growing disenchanted with his dream of becoming a Disney animator, he decided cartooning would be his lot in life. When he learned, in the wake of the Great Recession, that The New Yorker was the primary outlet still publishing cartoons, cracking the code of America's idiosyncratic intellectual stand-by became his mission. Until that point, The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, Ren & Stimpy, and South Park had been his guiding lights ("all those '90s dudes").
Closer to home, I once visited my beloved grandmother-in-law in the senior home where she resided. I stayed for dinner, choosing the turkey option. "What!" Grandma exclaimed, "You don't like the chicken?!" The emotional vibes reverberating in this episode are ambivalent and textured.

Good morning. When Zelle chief Denise Leonhard interviewed Preston McCaskill to head up operations of the peer-to-peer payment platform last year, she was impressed by his preparation, problem-solving instincts and curiosity. But what cemented the deal for her was his sense of humor. She "cracked a couple of jokes and gave him the space to be able to crack a few jokes," she says. Once they started laughing, she knew he'd fit well with the team.
For almost a decade, a couple in north London have marked the first day of the new school year with tongue-in-cheek doorstep photos celebrating their two son's return to the classroom. Comedian Tom Price and his wife, author Beth Morrey, began the tradition with a snap holding a bottle of wine and some beer. It has since grown into elaborate set-ups from hot tubs to golf clubs which are now eagerly awaited by their friends and family.
"I've been on the game for a couple of years, and it was definitely something from the moment that I came on-board, when I was talking to Sam, the grounded tone was a priority," Clark said. "Grounding the humor in the world, he made it very clear that if I tried to put a meme in the game, he would come to my house with a baseball bat [laughs].

Publishing this list is like giving you an X-ray examination into my funny bone, the area that harbours all of my dumbest, stoopidest and most insincere thoughts. I got a case of dumb-dumb-itis; it's bad doc, real bad! Please do not take this examination lightly. I had to do a lot of archive searching and cross-referencing; I sought counsel from gurus and masters in the field. I dove deep.

"I'm the type of person who, if I'm happy, everybody in the room is going to be happy, and if I'm sad, it's going to be very quiet and tense. I'm a temperature guider in the room."

If this was the year 1276, when man like Archbishop Killwardby opened the Surrey Street Market, then yes, Croydon would not be inside London. But guess what? This ain't the year 1276, and you, my brother, are not a Bishop. If you were to do your research, you would see that following the London Government Act of 1963, Croydon was officially declared a London Borough on April 1, 1965, on page 4,565 of the Act.

"I was a sous chef for 17 years. My last job was in a popular area in the Alps where we had a lunch buffet every afternoon. Once a week, it was themed, and I usually stood at the buffet and made either fresh waffles or pancakes. I had a huge setup with toppings and ice cream at one end.
