Friends Are Like Batteries

My latest short novella, 'Friends Are Like Batteries', was recently published, and whenever I publish a new book or short story, I like to feature a blog post on the theme of the story. So sticking with tradition, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a look at the unusual combination of friends ... and batteries!

1) To start things off, here's an example of an unlikely friendship.

True friendship.

Whoever invented the saying 'to fight like cat and dog' had obviously never met this cat and dog!

10 password memes and jokes (part 2)

Regular readers of the Charles Fudgemuffin blog may remember that this week sees the celebration of World Password Day.

Snow White and the Five Dwarves,
due to the fact that AI image generators can't count.

It seems weird to dedicate a day to celebrating passwords, but who am I to blow against the wind, so this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog once again rounds up another collection of password themed jokes and memes...

1) My computer told me my password needed to be eight characters long.

So I went with 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'.




2) Set your wifi password to "Itsonthefridge".

Then when people ask what it is, and you tell them, they'll go to the fridge, look all over for it and wonder where it is.

Funny signs (part 4)

It's been a few years since I last took a look at silly signs on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, but lovers of signs can finally rejoice, as this week's blog post features another long overdue round-up of funny signs.

1) Hot dog sign

Here's a brilliant offer at Ikea. However, before you get too excited, there is a catch...

"Not actual size."

Not actual size? Did that really need to be clarified? You've got a massive fifteen foot banner hanging from the ceiling, and you felt the need to point out that the hot dog wasn't actually that big?

To be fair though, $0.50 is still an excellent offer, even if the actual hot dog isn't quite as big as some customers were apparently expecting.

Amusing names

Names serve a very useful purpose. For example, they can help you identify who you're talking to.

Another useful function of names is providing lighthearted amusement, as the following round-up of names highlights...

1) Carmen Holm

Let's start things off with a very happy looking lady, and once you discover her name, it's no wonder she looks so happy.

After all, she had a song written about her which English football fans sing every World Cup and Euros...

"It's Carmen Holm,
It's Carmen Holm,
It's Carmen..."

10 devious riddles and confusing conundrums

It's been quite a while since I last featured any riddles on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, but that's an oversight that I intend to rectify today.

Here's one of my own minted coins from 78 B.C.,
back when my great great great great great great
grandfather first established the Fudgemuffin Mint.

That's just a long-winded way of saying that this week's blog post features another round-up of devious riddles and confusing conundrums for you to solve.

1) An expert visits the Middle East and claims to have seen many ancient artefacts.

He claims to have seen several mummies dating as far back as 200 B.C., several coins dated 78 B.C., and tools from approximately 500 B.C.

How can you be certain that his claims aren't true?




2) Why can’t a man living in Australia be legally buried in Canada?

Funny supermarket photos (part 5)

The supermarket is a source of food and other household essentials, but it can also be a source of humour!

So on that theme, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes another lightrearted trip to the supermarket.

1) Boneless donuts

At last! I'm glad someone's finally got around to producing boneless donuts.

After all, there's nothing worse than biting into a donut and then choking on a bone.

Funny football quotes (part 18)

Another season of the Premier League comes to an end this weekend, so as is tradition on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, this week we feature another round-up of funny football quotes from footballers, pundits and managers.

Pay attention to the 18 yard box.
It may come in useful later on...

1) "The 33 or 34 year olds will be 36 or 37 by the time the next World Cup comes around, if they're not careful."
...Kevin Keegan

If they're not careful?

I wasn't aware that being careful allowed you to prevent the ageing process?




2) "If Villa got another goal now it would change the scoreline completely."
...Tony Cottee
