I’ve learned to accept what I can’t control — begrudgingly.

But being without the internet was driving me insane.

We peri-urban yokels sat without a broadband signal for ten days. My laptop, phone and router snubbed a speed of 0.838 Mbps with the disdain it deserved and refused to engage.

The road construction gang widening the main tarred road had cut the cables, which fed the only broadband tower in the area.

I consoled myself by mucking about in the kitchen when I couldn’t access my emails or write and read on Medium.

The moment I was back on-line, I searched for stuff to make me laugh. Sorry folks, but that took precedence over re-connecting with writers and readers.

If you’re feeling cranky, these twenty punny food jokes should wind you up.

Here goes:

1. A man just assaulted me with milk, cream and butter. How dairy.
