It's a joke, even on taxi bumper...

The Scottish city of Edinburgh hosts an annual Festival, and one popular fringe event is a contest for funniest jokes. Thanks to Nick for reminding me of this year's event. Here are 2012's top 10:

• 1. Stewart Francis - "You know who really gives kids a bad name? Posh and Becks."

• 2. Tim Vine - "Last night me and my girlfriend watched three DVDs back to back. Luckily I was the one facing the telly. "

• 3. Will Marsh - "I was raised as an only child, which really annoyed my sister."

• 4. Rob Beckett - "You know you're working class when your TV is bigger than your book case."

• 5. Chris Turner - "I'm good friends with 25 letters of the alphabet… I don't know Y."

• 6. Tim Vine - "I took part in the sun tanning Olympics - I just got Bronze."

• 7. George Ryegold - "Pornography is often frowned upon, but that's only because I'm concentrating."

• 8. Stewart Francis - "I saw a documentary on how ships are kept together. Riveting!"

• 9. Lou Sanders - "I waited an hour for my starter so I complained: 'It's not rocket salad."

• 10. Nish Kumar - "My mum's so pessimistic, that if there was an Olympics for pessimism… she wouldn't fancy her chances."

Nick also sent me this very funny text message:

Seen on the back of a bus today... [email address for] the Singapore website for Garuda:

Speaking of which, I don't get this taxi bumper sticker ad for Daikin, the airconditioning company:

EVERYWHERE WITH YOU

And I used to see this taxi bumper sticker quite a bit, but not any more (fewer cheating spouses now, or fewer getting caught, or fewer of them riding taxis?)...
