to ask if anyone can explain this joke please?

[5Foot5]

Q. What sort of cough medicine does Dracula take?
A. Con medicine

Just that. It was in one of the crackers at dinner today. One expects the novelties to be a bit rubbish but it is nice to have a titter over the jokes. However we can none of us understand why this is meant to be funny. Does this mean anything to anyone?

Sheep with no legs is usually a cloud

But what do you call a deer with no eyes or legs?

Still no-eye deer!

Sorry, couldn't resist . We had the Dracula joke this Christmas and couldn't work it out so now I know. Thank you

Lol! We got that joke too-didn’t understand it either!

Where do you find a dog with no legs?
Where you left it!

What did the Greek cheese say to itself in the mirror?

Hallooo mee!!! 😂😂😂

What do you call a fly with no wings?
A walk.

I found this thread whilst googling for the joke, I’m at a party and we’re all totally bamboozled by trying to work out what it actually means. It’s good to know we’re not alone!

Just let it die!!!

It's back

Yay, the mumsnet tradition continues!! Now it really is Christmas!!

Gah - thought this was going to be about Boswell 😂

@TheOnlyTruePirate - so did I! Kind of disappointed that it wasn't.

A zombie thread about a vampire? It's never going to die, is it?

Was boswell ever solved?!

Does it matter what ir means? Its not very funny regardless roll on xmas 2019

Bloody hell, how could they print a blinking typo in this cracker ruined my whole fucking Christmas this has. Kids won’t shut up about it. I’d like you all to know that I will be fileing an official complaint will the distributors.

Reminds me of a bit of doggerel I learnt years ago:

It wasn't the cough
That carried him off.
It was the coffin
They carried him offin.

Yep, we had the same joke this year. Couldn’t understand it either!

Ha ha! I was waiting for this thread to rise from the grave again.

joke

Sainsbury's? It's a misprint of coffin and I read that in text scanning software certain sets of characters e.g. ff, ffi which have overlapping boundaries turn it into a blank character.

Ha ha - posted on this thread 2 years ago!

It’s a 3 year old thread, op from 2015

We had this one in a cracker:

Q. How do you know when elephants have been making love in your kitchen?
A. Your bin liner is missing.

Still puzzling over that one
