A bus driver was driving a whole tour bus of elderly men and women down a highway. As he was driving, one of the little old ladies tapped him on the shoulder to offer him a handful of peanuts that he gratefully accepted.
15 minutes passed and she comes back with another handful of peanuts. This happens about five more times. The bus driver finally decides to ask her, “Why don’t you eat the peanuts yourself?“
She replied “We have no teeth so we aren’t able to chew them.“
Confused, he asks, “If you can’t chew them, why do you buy them?“
She replied “We get them just for the chocolate around them. We love it!“

Not a joke but still funny, have a look at these two men in fruit-themed body paint, which was photographed in February 2017 by Claire Miller. As Claire says “I was watching a rather out there acrobatic busker act on Southbank by a Japanese gymnast calling himself Jackie Chan Chan when these two turned up and started scoring his act. They seemed related to possibly promoting Juice Boost but I can’t be certain. They were just such a bizarre addition to the crowd watching an already bizarre act that I snapped the photo. Cool body paint, though!“
Photographed by Cath Jones, November 2019. ” I recently met ‘carrot man‘ in Bourke Street and took this picture. Apparently he is becoming something of a celebrity for being out there in public carrying an enormous carrot and making people smile.” And he has been doing it for the past six years!
