North Queensland printer Lotsa Print and Signage has celebrated its 21st year in business with another issue of its politically incorrect house magazine Lotsa Laughs.
“The political jokes have dried up this year but if you see any good ones I am desperate for them,” writes Lotsa co-owner Peter Martin in this month’s Lotsa Laughs Joketorial. “I have found that the volume of jokes [in this issue] reflects the mood of the populace, as does the style of the jokes, the situation in Australia and the world today…so no apologies for these jokes, it reflects the traffic on the subject.”
Subjects include ethnic groups, religions, immigrants, wives, blondes, gays, hippies, the elderly, climate change, politicians, sportsmen and animals:
They had to get a translator in at the benefits office today. Somebody came in speaking English.
What's the height of optimism? An Aussie batsman putting on sunscreen.
Why didn’t the lifeguard save the hippie? Because he was too far out, man.
“The purpose of this publication is to bring some laughter to our lives by looking at the funnier side of Life; it is not intended to ridicule of make fun at anyone’s expense,” said Martin, who owns and runs the business with wife Bev.
Lotsa Print and Signage has branches in Cairns, Port Douglas and Townsville.
