Controversial Christmas questions (part 2)

Christmas will soon be upon us once again, bringing happiness, joy, and also ... controversy. I've featured controversial Christmas questions before on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, but there are many more Christmas related topics that divide opinion.

So with that in mind, have a read of the following controversial Christmas questions, then vote on what you think is the correct answer...

Christmas trees.
A source of joy, happiness, and differing opinions.

1) Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or a plastic Christmas tree?

I've mostly had a plastic tree for Christmas, opting for convenience over tradition. However, if you do go for a real tree, apparently you should check the base of the tree where it's been cut to ensure that the tree is pale. This means the tree has been freshly cut and will last longer.

Now that I've got the advice out of the way, it's time to get down to the important question. Where do you fall on the Christmas tree debate? Do you prefer a real tree or a plastic tree?

World Cup jokes and memes

The 2022 World Cup comes to an end next weekend, so it seems an appropriate time to feature a random collection of World Cup related memes and jokes!

1) This is what Phil Foden would look like if he was a cat...

#SeparatedAtBirth

For the record, Phil Foden is a class footballer who should be a guaranteed starter for England. Nevertheless, I have to admit, his hairstyle does look a bit like he copied it from a Lego figure.

Jokes that work better when spoken aloud

Some jokes work best when they're spoken aloud. So, given that the Charles Fudgemuffin blog is published in written form, that would therefore make those type of jokes the worst possible jokes to feature on the blog.

"Get out!"
"No, gout!"

Nevertheless, despite how illogical and unsuited jokes like that would be for a blog post, I'm going to feature them anyway!

To enhance the quality of your joke reading experience, you may wish to read each joke aloud. However, I only recommend doing this if you are on your own, otherwise people might think you're a bit weird if you just start randomly reading out jokes.

1) Me: "Doctor, I've got really sore feet."
Doctor: "Gout."
Me: "But I've only just got here!"

10 funny quiz show answers (part 10)

I don't watch a lot of quiz shows, but I do enjoy it when quiz show contestants give silly answers! With that in mind, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features another round up of funny quiz show answers.

Merry Wednesday!

To start things off, here's an amusing answer to a question from Tipping Point...

1) "On what date is Christmas Day traditionally celebrated each year?"
"Wednesday."



2) "Name an animal used as a form of transport."
"A turtle."



3) "Name a game played in the dark."
"Charades."

The Quiz Master

Regular readers of the Charles Fudgemuffin blog may have noticed that whenever I publish a new book or short story I generally like to promote it with a blog post, and this week is no different! My latest book 'The Quiz Master' was released this week, so in keeping with tradition, here's a brief summary of the plot:

The Quiz Master.
Available for kindle from Amazon.

"When the Deep Space Genesis agency discover the first potentially inhabitable exoplanet 'Nova Satus III', they plan to transport ten convicted criminals to that planet to use as metaphoric 'canaries in a coal mine', in order to test the suitability, and safety, of the planet's surface for human life.

However, even before the 'canaries' have barely started their journey, a mysterious hacker known only as 'The Quiz Master' takes control of the ship, and puts the canaries through a sick and twisted 'Last Man Standing' elimination game that will leave nine of the canaries dead, and only one survivor.

Who is this mysterious Quiz Master, and what are his motivations? And which of the ten contestants will survive?"

As regular readers of the Charles Fudgemuffin blog may also have noticed, I occasionally like to feature quizzes on the blog. However, whereas the quizzes on my blog are generally light-hearted and sometimes a little bit silly, the quizzes, situations, and tests that the 'contestants' face are somewhat more unsettling, and of course the stakes are a lot higher!

To give you an idea of some of the questions, dilemmas and tasks that the contestants face to determine who is 'eliminated', one of the rounds that the Quiz Master puts them through is called Moral Dilemmas. In this round, the contestants are faced with numerous hypothetical moral dilemmas, one of which is as follows:

How to be an entrepreneur

If you fancy yourself as an entrepreneur, then there's no better time to get started, as November 16th, 2022, is officially National Entrepreneurs' Day!

"Aaragh! I can't think of any ideas for my new company."
"Relax, the Charles Fudgemuffin blog is here to help."

Maybe you've already got a great idea which you're sure is your pathway to a money making goldmine. However, if you're having a hard time thinking of ideas for what sort of company to set up, then you could always get some random websites to come up with random ideas for you.

Either way, the following step by step guide can help you create your new company...

1) Create a name for your company

First of all, you'll need a name for your new company. After several brainstorming sessions and idea-generating workshops, I eventually settled on the name 'Fudgemuffin' for my new company. However, if you're stuck for ideas then wordoid.com can come up with multiple random names for your company.

The random company name it picked for me was...

Extrembled

Not as catchy as 'Fudgemuffin', I'm sure you'll agree, but nevertheless still a moderately okay name.

Amusingly confused

I'm confused. No ... wait! Maybe I'm not.

In all seriousness, I'm not actualy confused. That was just a silly way to lead into this week's blog post which features examples of people who are amusingly confused.

1) Picture, Picture, On The Wall

To start things off, presumably this first amusingly confused person has never heard of mirrors...

"Why do you have a framed picture of your ceiling fan?"
