Today is
International Joke Day
It’s a light-hearted day. It should be. If I tell you a joke,
will you tell me one too?
Ok, here it goes.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
The love of your life!
Dark chocolate who?
Did you get it?
I am sorry, but jokes can’t be translated.
Ok, I will tell another one.
A dad washes his car with his son.
Son: Dad, why can’t you use a sponge?
Get it?
Alright, if you still don't get it, I give up.
Happy International Joke Day, anyway.
To my friends and readers in Canada – Happy Canada Day!
The day commemorates the anniversary of the Constitution Act (1867) which consolidated three territories (Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) into one country.

events in the future.
