Newsletter and jokes 29 October 2021


 
Hi all 
 
It's Halloween weekend, and we've got two horror films for your thrilling  
pleasure, as well as previews of kiddie "horror" on Monday. 
 
First up is the latest (and final?) episode in the vintage Halloween series, 
which did well on release overseas. That is Halloween Kills. 
 
Joining it on more limited release is Antlers, with Keri Russel, who has  
not been on the big screen for a while. 
 
The third mainstream release is Midnight in the Switchgrass, with Bruce  
Willis and Megan Fox getting poster space, but reviews have not been so  
good.  
 
On the art circuit, we have a biopic about Toma Zdravkovic, the Serbian  
pop-folk singer-songwriter who lead a Bohemian existence. 
 
On Monday there are multiple previews most places for Monster Family 2,  
to keep the little ones busy while the adults vote. 
 
Then on Thursday night there are premieres for the next Marvel superheroes 
adventure, Eternals, at selected venues. Also on Thursday, the Indian film  
Annaatthe debuts at Suncoast. 
 
New this week: 
 
* Halloween Kills (16 LVH) 
* Midnight in the Switchgrass (16 LSVD) 
* Antlers (18 LVH SV) 
* Toma (16 LNSD)

Q: When does a joke become a dad joke? 
 
A: When it becomes apparent.

Seven-year-old: My aunt is my mom’s sister. Small world. 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
When we told my 11-year-old that he was going to have a new sibling, his  
immediate response was, “Who’s the father?” 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
When I was six, I got a hold of my dad’s ID and, after seeing when exactly  
it expired, spent three hours crying because I thought he was set to die on 
that date. 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
My kids are playing a game of “Grown-Up.”  
 
From what I can tell, it involves running around yelling “I’m late for work”  
and going to a medical professional called the “eye dentist.” 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
“Dad, isn’t it weird that the word ‘chicken’ can mean an animal or a 
type of food?” 
 
(My kid, on the verge of having a horrific realization.) 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
My toddler is asking all her friends if they like cake.  
 
If they say yes, she takes them off her birthday-party invitation list  
because she doesn’t want to share. 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
My daughter just asked me why we say “hang up” the phone.  
 
Now I feel 90 years old.

Amazon thinks my recent humidifier purchase was merely the inaugural move  
in a new-found hobby of humidifier collecting.

One of Google’s proto-type self-driving cars got into an accident when 
it was rear-ended by a normal car.  
 
When the guy got out to argue after the accident, the Google car just 
threatened to release his search history. 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
I had to suppress a smile when I asked my grade 11 pupils to write a short  
letter to a celebrity as part of their English lesson, and it had to be 
appropriate to that person. 
 
One boy impressed; he wrote to Liam Neeson. It went like this:  
 
"Dear Liam. I have your daughter. You have 24 hours." 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
My husband had a man-to-man talk with our grandson. He told him that in the  
future he would have feelings for girls.  
 
Our grandson nodded and replied he already had feelings for them.  
 
Surprised, his granddad asked what he meant. Our grandson retorted,  
"They make me really, really mad!".

My eight-year-old son had started to complain he had a sore, itchy foot.  
So I took him to a pharmacy and they soon diagnosed athlete's foot and sent  
us away with some cream to apply each evening.  
 
A few nights later, as I tucked him into bed, he suddenly called out, 
"You forgot to put on the cream for my Olympic foot!".

Our neighbour, Joe, has a vintage car and while we were chatting to him one  
day, we were trying to get him to reveal just how old it was. 
 
"Put it this way," he confided, "It’s been insured against fire, theft 
and Vikings!".

Apparently the Queen threw a big party to tell Charles that he wouldn’t be  
king. She thought it would be a great opportunity to let her heir down.

I come from a long line of polite kleptomaniacs. I take after my dad.

Marvin Gaye used to keep a sheep in my vineyard.  
 
He’d herd it through the grapevine.
