Anyway, here are Five Jokes!

Y’all hear about this?..

• Apple is exploring a push into robotics as it searches for life beyond iPhones. So, if you’re looking to cut down on screen time on your Apple iPhone, try having an emotional affair with Ant0n10, your Apple iRobot instead.

• Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Donald Trump. The GOP is has reached out to doctors to see if ripping RFK Jr. in half would make him regenerate into more RFK Jr.’s the way normal worms do. “A few more surprise endorsements from him could be good for us.”

• The Boeing Starliner astronauts will come home on SpaceX's Dragon next year. However, with Boeing shareholders bracing for fallout, Dragon’s first stop on Earth will be Boeing’s Dungeon.

• A former high-school teacher is running to be the first politician to head a far-right government in Germany since the end of World War II. He’s also the first far-right leader in history to insist on hate speech with proper grammar and enunciation.

Finally…

• This year, fall and Halloween-related goods are appearing earlier than ever — explained husbands after their bulk orders of pumpkin spice scented Dude Wipes were discovered by the family during an intervention.
