How to be a rebel! (part 4)

I filled in a job application form recently, and it asked me to describe myself in three words, so I wrote:

"I am a rebel!"

If, like me, you'd also like to be a rebel, then you've come to the right place, because this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog highlights a few examples which demonstrate the art of being a rebel.

1) Rebellious diver

Top marks for the amount of effort put in to create this first act of rebellion.

"Don't tell me where I can dive! I'll dive where I want!"

In all seriousness, apparently he was leak testing the pool, but either way, he was still breaking the rules!

Guess the weird headline quiz

I've featured weird headlines before on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, and I've also featured quizzes. This week, however, I combine the two with a quiz about weird headlines.

For each question, I've removed a word (or words) from the headline, and you have to guess what the missing word (or words) is (or are). To give you a helping hand, each question is multiple choice, so you have four possible answers to choose from. And remember, each headline is weird, so the correct answer may not be what you expect.

"What do you call a yellow bird with a haircut who likes James Bond?"
"A shorn canary."

Please note, to make things trickier I have used a random number of stars for each censored word. (If the number of stars corresponded to the number of missing letters, you would be able to cheat and work out the correct answers!)

1) To start things off, here's a headline that will appeal to movie lovers.

"The name is Bond, James ****."

A) Bond
B) 007
C) The Cat
D) Rodriguez

Silly protest banners

Protest banners and protest messages can sometimes be controversial and divide opinion. However, they can also be a source of amusement.

This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a look at a few protest banners and messages that brought a smirk to my face.

1) Homeless go home

Strictly speaking, this first example is protest graffiti, rather than a protest banner, but either way it's rather bizarre.

What part of 'homeless' do they not understand?

Jokes that work better when spoken aloud (part 2)

You would think that jokes that work better when spoken aloud would be a poor choice of subject for a blog post, given that this blog is published in written form. However, the last time I featured a blog post on jokes that work better when spoken out loud, it got a surprisingly high number of page views.

My cold field. (Mike Oldfield)

Legal disclaimer: This isn't really my field.
It's just a random photo that I found on Pixabay.

I'm a firm believer in paying attention to your audience, so with that in mind, this week's written blog post features the poorly chosen subject of jokes that work better when spoken aloud.

To compensate for my poor choice of medium, you may wish to read the following jokes out loud in order to enhance your joke reading pleasure. However, if you do, make sure you're not on public transport at the time, otherwise people might think you're a bit mad!

1) I thought I heard Tubular Bells on my farm last winter, but it was just my cold field.




2) I asked a Cambodian what language he spoke.

"Khmer," he answered.

"No, you come here," I replied.

The funny side of politics

I generally like to cover lighthearted subjects on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, so that obviously rules politics out.

Or does it?

This week I've decided to attempt an impossible task and feature politics without upsetting anyone. Read on to see if I succeed...

1) Here's a policy that I can certainly get behind...

"Vote no on everything.
We don't need it!
We can't afford it!"
