Pop music
Why did the man finish with the opera singer?
Because she was all mi mi mi mi mi mi mi
Why do children have middle names?
So they know when they’re in really big trouble
How do you stop a skunk from smelling?
Put a peg on his nose
What’s green and not heavy?
Light green
Why do mermaids wear seashells?
Because B shells are too small and D shells are too big
What sort of romantic novels do monkeys read?
Mills and Baboons
Why should you never trust staircases?
Because they are always up to something
Why do football stadiums get hot after a match?
Because all the fans leave
Why aren’t fish good at sitting exams?
Because they’ll never get above sea-level
And the corniest of all . . .
Why did the invisible woman finish with the invisible man?
Because he was nothing to look at
