Where is my Friday Yuk?

by jamesrl . Updated 17 years, 10 months ago

OK so I’m not funny enough to be a good joke teller. But I am in desparate need of some cheering up. Please send along your jokes.

I am about to go on vacation, but had a really crappy customer interaction yesterday.

I will point out something ironic (depending on your definition).

Yesterday a Canadian won our countries first gold medal in horse jumping (Eric Lamaze). This Olympian came from a rough background, family addiction issues etc. He was kicked out of the sport for 2 Olympics for testing positive for cocaine, but has changed his life and come back from adversity.

Not to take anything away from his significant achievement (4 perfect rounds) but some of his major competitors were knocked out of the competition before it even began. Why? The horses failed the drug tests. They had been given pain killers before the team event earlier in the week. The bronze medalist team may lose their medal.

Is it ironic?

James
