Please DO NOT post personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder.


If your submission appears to be banned, please don't just delete it as that makes the filter hate you! Instead please send us a message with a link to the post. We'll unban it and it should get better. Please allow 10 minutes for the post to appear before messaging moderators

Less funny in parts of the world where they call that a rockmelon ;-)

Not everyone pronounces the T. I read that as "can elope."

Shitty_Watercolour could do this one, but it would be an improvement on the original.

Damn it! I thought this was one of my original jokes from when I was a child. I guess the probability of any joke being original is about 0. Confirmed by Redditors constantly saying "Repost" and shattering my dreams of being famous to random people whom I will never meet.

[–]yunohavefunnynames -1 points0 points ago
