Never trust the polls!

Over the last few years there have been a number of famous polls that have been dramatically inaccurate.

However, that's not what this week's blog post is about, so apologies if you arrived here expecting a serious discussion on why polls often get their predictions wrong. As usual, this week's blog post takes a light-hearted look at the subject of the week, as I discuss stupid surveys and peculiar polls.

1) "It's fun to stay..."

Whoever created this first survey forgot to include one obvious answer...

This is one survey you can trust.

I have to admit, the first time I heard of the YMCA was through the Village People as well! I suspect that's the case for most people under a certain age.

10 funny quiz show answers (part 8)

One theme I like to feature on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog from time to time is funny quiz show answers, so here's another selection of silly answers from quiz show contestants who didn't win the point, but did bring a chuckle to my face.

Pots in a pot.

1) "Name a musical instrument you can play in the bath."
"A drum kit."



2) "In the abbreviated names of fruit and vegetables often seen in greengrocers, the word 'pots' is short for which word?"
"Pottery."

How many ... does it take to change a light bulb? (part 3)

As I'm sure everybody is aware, tomorrow is National Light Bulb Day! So to celebrate, here's another collection of light bulb jokes...

"That will need changed."
"But how many people will it take to change it?"

1) How many folk guitarists does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One to change the light bulb, and one to complain that it's electric.


2) How many telemarketers does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one, but they have to do it when you're just about to eat your dinner.

Isn't it ironic? (part 2)

As I'm sure everyone is aware, October 12th is National Irony Day! Actually, most people probably aren't aware of that. I was being ironic!

"I'm sure I'll be safe sitting with my head like this...
...as long as nobody closes the lid." #ToySafety

Anyway, in honour of National Irony Day here's another round-up of irony themed thoughts and observations...

1) Does anyone find it ironic that the word 'hyphenated' is non-hyphenated, while the word 'non-hyphenated' is hyphenated?



2) In 1974 the US government produced 80,000 buttons to promote toy safety. They had to recall them as they contained lead paint, the edges were too sharp, and they were a choking hazard!

Controversial questions: Food special!

Here at the Charles Fudgemuffin blog we're not afraid to tackle controversial debates, so this week it's time for another selection of important cutting edge questions. As you'll notice, this week's controversial questions all have a comestible theme to them...

1) Should salt and vinegar crisp* packets be blue or green?

Blue or green?
You decide!

* Or chip, for the benefit of any American readers.

I think this one is perhaps an age related dilemma because when I was young, salt and vinegar crisps always came in a blue packet, but nowadays some crisp manufacturers have decided to break with tradition.

If, like me, you think non-traditional crisp manufacturers are idiots, then you can help them see the error of their ways by voting below.
