True thing:
I happen to be a member of the Nextdoor app.
On 01-Apr, a notable character there posted: Just saw the News release from NASA, that the Eclipse has been postponed from Monday, and moved to Tuesday… Please make and change your plans accordingly. Please pass on..This is important..
Many members appreciated the joke. Some actually thought it was true.
My reply: Due to budgetary constraints, the event is being downgraded from a total to a partial eclipse.
Hardly matters, as soon as the shadow crosses the border from Mexico, it'll likely be arrested.

I was watching the Australian version of Masterchef last night. One of the contestants made a lovely meringue and everybody cheered.
I thought, that's odd. Normally in Australia they boo meringue.

Not actually a joke. In the northern part of Austin, there's a strip of land maybe a half mile or longer running along I-35 between two major roads. In this space, there are several clusters of strip malls along the back side of it and in some areas, there are smaller strip malls and stand-alone stores closer to the frontage road. I rarely have a reason to do any business there. But I was there today; took my time driving through, looking for a place that might sell a particular size, style, and color blackout curtains to match a set I already have in my living room. No luck to that end, but I dud a double take at one establishment I came across.
With my extreme dietary limitations, the only foreign food places I go to are Outback, China Palace, one specific taco shop, and a pizza shop that understands my issue. So, I've never tried Nigerian food; probably never will. But I'm certain that the vast majority of the population of the Austin are will take a pass at this particular Nigerian restaurant. It has the mouthwatering name of: Palatable.

Thankfully, my back porch only backed to a commercial greenhouse, and I never saw staff in that section. Plus my porch was draped with grapevines.

True story. Good thing my sisters have the same low-brow sense of humor I have....
Bought birthday cards for sisters (birthdays on consecutive days, though nine years apart). The card for younger sister had a picture of a mountain lion wearing a party hat (badly Photoshopped, IMO), and the text read "Please, no more corny birthday jokes. You're gonna make me puma pants".
Inspired by Jim53's dung beetle line.

One broom was, of course, the bride broom, the other the groom broom.
The bride broom looked very beautiful in her white dress. The groom broom was handsome and suave in his tuxedo. The wedding was lovely.
After the wedding, at the wedding dinner, the bride-broom leaned over and said to the groom-broom, 'I think I am going to have a little whisk broom!'
'IMPOSSIBLE !' said the groom broom.

70% of the Earth is water. And virtually none of it is carbonated.
So, is the Earth actually … flat?

A bit after the fact, but there's a restaurant in my area that has a portable marquee out by the street. The sign read:
Happy Thanksgiving! Don't forget to set your scales back ten pounds this weekend.

Just came across one of the worst literary jokes I've ever seen and immediately thought of reposting it here:
Harry Potter can't tell the difference between where he mixes his potions and his best friend.
They're both cauldron
Sorry!

Not all construction work is equally interesting.
For example, while enlarging a drilled hole is boring, fastening pieces of metal together is riveting.

I saw someone wearing a T-shirt in a hardware store. It had a drawing of a hammer, and the logo said "This is not a drill."

"What did you call this thing?"
"It's an elevator."
"No, no, it's called a lift!"
"I guess we were raised differently."

I'm baking bread tomorrow. Asked my husband if I could make a rye loaf. He said, "It doesn't matter to me, make a sardonic loaf if you want."

>219 Jim53: An American mentions the elevator.
An Englishman says "you mean the lift?"
The American says: "I should know what it's called. Someone in America invented the elevator."

It must be our shared postal gene, but when I read ‘…make a rye bread…” I thought the same as your husband before reading the rest of the sentence. I like the way your husband thinks.

My husband is on a roll. He was looking at the dough and said, "It's not a little rye, it's just aloof."

Better Half reports a picture, evidently taken in the Kruger Park, doing the rounds on social media. It's a temporary sign reading
ELEPHANTS PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR
The note on the original post expresses surprise that elephants can drive.

How do you get four elephants into a Mini Cooper?
Two in the front, two in the back.
How can you tell there are eight elephants in church?
There are two empty Mini Coopers outside.
