Joking Aside…
One of the benefits (or perhaps curses) of the ever increasing popularity of the text message as a means of instant communication, is the rapid propogation of topical, up to the minute, (and often near the knuckle) jokes…
A celebrity only has to die, or split up with his/her partner, or do something particularly outrageous these days, and before you know it the inbox of you and your friends’ phone is inundated with quips, puns and howlers of varying degrees of hilarity and often downright cruelty.
Who makes these jokes up? Perhaps it is a plot by the phone operators to increase traffic on the networks and thus increase profits – after all, SMS messages can become expensive. As Fanackapan found out recentlywhen he inadvertently sent a 4 message joke out to his circulation list (around 50 recipients) and helplessly watched his credit dwindle to nothing.
Even natural disasters are rarely immune to this phenomenon, which brings me to my point:
Why have there been no jokes whatsoever about Cockermouth?
I’d have thought they’d be flooding in by now…!
