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? Confused

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

Still no-eye deer!

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

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!

AGHHHH · 09/12/2018 19:24

Just let it die!!!

Oysterbabe · 09/12/2018 19:28

WhatchaMaCalllit · 21/12/2018 09:35

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

TooTrueToBeGood · 21/12/2018 09:53

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

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.

JooLoo · 25/12/2018 14:37

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

ScreamingBadSanta · 25/12/2018 14:47

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

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
