The postman joke

5:15

you

5:15

okay next love this one

5:19

why a postman so unhappy all the time

5:24

because they're given the sack every

5:26

morning

5:27

my husband's in the background and he

5:29

actually laughed a little bit it was

5:30

like a

5:31

do you ever do that when you see a funny

5:33

video on your phone and you don't laugh

5:35

you just go

5:36

now we can see how homonyms can also be

5:39

used to make puns here we're playing

5:41

with the double meaning of the phrase

5:43

give the sack or give in the sack in

5:46

this context to be given the sack means

5:48

to be fired or dismissed from a job but

5:51

the joke is that the postmen are given

5:53

the sack every morning because they are

5:55

provided with a bag or a big sack to

5:59

carry the post in

6:02

okay next one I love this one my mum

6:05

tried to make a joke about the TV but it

6:08

wasn't remotely funny

6:11

okay I guess rather than being a dad

6:12

joke this one's more of a mum joke but

6:15

here we're using the double meaning of

6:17

the word remote in this context adding

6:20

Lee or l y to remote makes the adverb

6:23

remotely which means not at all if

6:26

something is not remotely funny it's not

6:28

at all funny however remote is also a

6:32

shortened informal way to say remote
