Hey! It’s Friday, and these are Five Jokes!

Y’all hear about this?..
The US Navy is 'excited' by the prospect of better communication with China, but says more work needed. They’re now searching for another nation’s military branch to serve as their relationship counselor. “The hardest part is finding one that takes our insurance,” explained Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations.
The city of Charleston elected a Republican mayor for the first time since the 1870s. Residents are pouring one out for the famous Charleston phrase, “Once you go crat, you don’t go back.”
40,000 hours of January 6th surveillance video will finally be released, but only in waves, and with about 5% removed because it may contain sensitive information. So, yeah, nothing conspiracy theorists can use as fuel here. Keep it movin’ to the next joke, folks. I said KEEP IT MOVING!… No! I don’t think they’re releasing the footage in waves so that they can digitally replace Tom Hanks with Kevin Hart. Why?! Because Tom Hanks definitely wasn’t at the insurrection! By the way, talk about conspiracy theories — why are most people just referring to it as “January 6th” instead of The Capitol Insurrection? Is it because we think there will be more of them? Who are we… France?! Okay, now I have to move on to the next joke before I start a podcast about it.
Scientists are baffled after extremely an high-energy particle was detected falling to Earth. Hate to break it to you, but that’s exactly how introverts feel when they know an extrovert is entering the room.
Finally…
The age of uncensored AI has already begun. So, if it looks like your son is spending hours on his computer staring at programming code, it could be a little more risqué than you think. Try sitting down with them and having chat if you catch them staring at code that looks like this:
