Or should that be Thaturday’th Thmilth today?
Once upon a time, not very long ago police officers wrote reports by hand and passed the information to a computer tech to type into the database.
One day when a tech spotted a reported theft of 2,025 pigs she thought that might be a mistake and called the farmer.
“Ith it true Mithter Thmith that you lost thome thtock?” she asked.
“Yeth, I did, thome of my favouriteth” the farmer said.
“How many animalth?”, she asked.
“2,025 pigs
“Ah, I thought the offither had got it wrong,” she said and typed in: “Subject lost 2 sows and 25 pigs.”

That doesn’t even pass for corny. Mind you, it reminds me of the Irishman with only dirty tree and a turd left out of a hundred bottles of Guinness.

That, Adolf, is the shortest version of that joke I’ve ever heard.
The record for the longest version goes to a cousin who took just over 35 minutes
to spin the dirty ‘tree and a ‘turd yarn – all the while maintaining the full attention of his audience.
I still chuckle at his efforts.
