Joke of the Day: Secrets

For the past 20 years, I’ve had a Valentine’s card from a secret admirer.

I was sad I didn’t get one this year!

First, my gran dies, and now this!

I’ve been banned from the Secret Cooking Society…

I kept spilling the beans.

What was the Soviet Union’s most secretive insect?

The Cagey Bee.

I’m convinced my wife is secretly putting glue on my antique weapons collection…

She denies it but I’m sticking to my guns.

For the 10th year in a row, my coworkers voted me “the most secretive guy” in the office.

I can’t tell you how much this award means to me.

Quote of the Day: Character

“If you want to know a person’s true character, observe how he treats those who don’t matter.”

Matshona Dhliwayo

Matshona Dhliwayo is a Zimbabwean-born author, entrepreneur, philosopher, and philanthropist. He is known for his inspirational and motivational quotes and writings, which have gained popularity on social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Dhliwayo is the author of several books, including “The Little Book of Inspiration,” “The Art of Winning,” and “The Book of Wisdom.” His writings focus on personal growth, self-improvement, spirituality, and success, and have been praised for their clarity, insight, and practicality.

In addition to his writing, Dhliwayo is the founder of several businesses, including a digital marketing agency and a renewable energy company. He is also a philanthropist, supporting various charitable organizations in Africa and beyond.

The quote “If you want to know a person’s true character, observe how he treats those who don’t matter” suggests that one’s treatment of people who may seem insignificant or unimportant can reveal a lot about their personality and values.

In essence, the quote implies that a person’s character is demonstrated by how they treat those who are vulnerable or have little power. This could be anyone from a service worker, a homeless person, a junior colleague, or anyone else who may be considered “less important.”

People who are kind, respectful, and considerate towards everyone, regardless of their status or position, are likely to be empathetic, compassionate, and caring individuals. Conversely, those who are dismissive, rude, or uncaring towards those who they perceive to be less important, may have a lack of empathy, be selfish, or hold negative attitudes towards certain groups.

The quote suggests that one’s true character can be revealed in their actions and attitudes towards those who may not have much power or status and that how we treat others reflects our values and beliefs.

Thought of the Day: Pop Tarts


The banana used to be the food that most looked like a phone. Now it’s the pop tart.

The Pop-Tart is a brand of toaster pastry that was first introduced by the Kellogg Company in 1964. The pastry consists of a filling, usually, fruit or chocolate, sandwiched between two thin rectangular layers of pastry dough, which are sealed together and then baked. The pastry is designed to be heated in a toaster or microwave before being eaten.

The idea for the Pop-Tart was developed in the early 1960s by Post Cereals, a subsidiary of General Foods, in response to the growing popularity of portable and convenient breakfast foods. However, it was Kellogg’s that ultimately brought the product to market.

The first flavors of Pop-Tarts introduced were strawberry, blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon, and apple currant. The product was an immediate success, and by the end of the 1960s, Kellogg’s had introduced several new flavors, including chocolate fudge, cherry, grape, and raspberry.

Over the years, Kellogg’s has continued to introduce new flavors and variations of the Pop-Tart, including low-fat and sugar-free versions. The product has also been marketed with a variety of slogans, including “Crazy Good” and “Gone Nutty!”.

Today, Pop-Tarts are sold in many countries around the world and have become a popular and iconic American snack food.

Advice of the Day: Diets

It is not a good idea to tell your partner that their diet is not working for a few reasons.

Firstly, it can be hurtful and demotivating to your partner. Dieting and weight loss can be sensitive and personal issues, and telling someone that their efforts are not paying off can be discouraging and damaging to their self-esteem.

Secondly, it can cause unnecessary tension and conflict in the relationship. Criticizing your partner’s diet can be interpreted as criticism of their personal choices and can lead to arguments and hurt feelings.

Thirdly, it may not be your place to comment on your partner’s diet. Your partner may have a specific plan or goal in mind that you are not aware of, and it is important to respect their autonomy and decisions.

Instead of criticizing your partner’s diet, it may be more helpful to offer support and encouragement. You could ask them how their diet is going, offer to prepare healthy meals together, or suggest other activities that can support their health goals.

Overall, it is important to be mindful and supportive when it comes to your partner’s diet and weight loss journey. Telling them that their diet is not working can be harmful and counterproductive, and it is better to offer support and encouragement instead.

It is difficult to provide an exact number of different types of diets in the USA and the UK as new diet trends and variations are constantly emerging. However, there are several popular diets that are well-known in both countries, such as the Mediterranean diet, veganism, low-carb diets, and intermittent fasting.

In terms of the estimated proportion of adults on diets in the USA and UK, this varies depending on the source and the specific definition of “diet”. According to a survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, about 49.3% of adults in the United States reported trying to lose weight through diet and exercise in 2017-2018. In the UK, a study by the market research firm Mintel found that 40% of adults had tried to lose weight in 2020.

It is important to note that not all individuals who are trying to lose weight may be following a specific “diet” plan, and some individuals may be on a diet for health or medical reasons rather than weight loss. Therefore, the actual proportion of adults following a specific type of diet may be lower than the overall proportion trying to lose weight.

Quote of the Day: Wisdom

“True wisdom is like an ocean; the deeper you go the greater the treasures you’ll find.”

Matshona Dhliwayo

Matshona Dhliwayo is a Zimbabwean-Canadian author, philosopher, and entrepreneur. He was born in Zimbabwe in 1979 and later moved to Canada, where he currently resides. He is best known for his inspirational quotes and books on personal development, spirituality, and business.

Dhliwayo has published several books, including “The Little Book of Inspiration”, “The Art of Winning”, “Dinner with King Solomon”, and “The 100 Quotes of Wisdom for Success”.

Dhliwayo has gained a large following on social media, where he shares his inspirational quotes and writings. He is known for his poetic writing style and his ability to convey complex ideas in simple and inspiring language.

The quote “True wisdom is like an ocean; the deeper you go the greater the treasures you’ll find” means that wisdom is vast and endless, like the ocean. Just as the ocean has many treasures hidden within its depths, true wisdom also has many valuable insights that can only be found by delving deeper into its depths. The quote implies that the more one seeks wisdom and the deeper one delves into it, the more valuable knowledge and insights one will discover.

The quote can be interpreted in a variety of ways. One interpretation is that wisdom is not something that can be acquired quickly or easily; rather, it requires time, effort, and a willingness to explore its depths. Another interpretation is that wisdom is not something that can be learned from the surface level, but rather requires a deep understanding of its complexities and nuances.

Overall, the quote suggests that true wisdom is something that is constantly evolving and expanding and that the more we explore and understand it, the more we will discover its many treasures.

Joke of the Day: Dead Funny

Where are dead computer hackers buried?

In decrypt.

I saw an ad for burial plots and thought to myself this is the last thing I need.

At weddings, old people always poke me and say you’ll be next!

It’s so annoying!… so.. I’ve started doing the same to them at funerals.

I was at a funeral the other day and a couple in front of me were loudly arguing about which herb goes best with which fish.

I could only think it wasn’t the Thyme or Plaice.

I went to my boss’s funeral …

I kneeled down next to the coffin and whispered, “Who is thinking outside the box now?”

I don’t like how funerals are usually between 9-11am.

I’m not really a mourning person.

As a funeral director, I tie the shoelaces together of the deceased.

Because if there was ever a zombie apocalypse, it would be hilarious.

“I’m sorry” and “I apologize ” mean the same thing …

Except at a funeral

The man who invented the word search has died.

His funeral will be held next…

T T I S P V G K M P H J G U O N Q U X N M O N D A Y W Z B A T K T E N O P G H C V N K O T D I M

Guy who owned Odeon cinemas has died.

His funeral is on Monday @ 2:10, 4:20 & 8:40

The guy who invented throat lozenges died last week.

There was no coffin at the funeral.

Before I die I am going to eat a whole bag of unpopped popcorn.

That should make the cremation a little more interesting.

Thought of the Day: Winter

Winter is the only season you experience twice a year.

The longest winter on Earth lasts for around six months in the interior of the continent of Antarctica. The winter in Antarctica starts in March and ends in September, during which the sun never rises and the temperatures remain extremely low. In the coastal regions of Antarctica, the winter is shorter, lasting around three to four months, with some light and occasional sunshine.

The interior of the continent of Antarctica experiences an extremely long and harsh winter, with continuous darkness and extremely low temperatures. During the winter months, temperatures in Antarctica can drop as low as -70°C (-94°F), and the wind can create blizzards that can make it even more inhospitable. Despite these extreme conditions, some scientific research stations are established in Antarctica, where scientists study various aspects of the frozen continent and its impact on the global climate.

The Sage at the Disco


A wise old Sage was dancing at a disco
In a way that was quite comical and slow
His moves were not too fancy
But he was still the life of the party



He may have been a little out of his age
But he shook his body and let out The Sage
He moved in circles and shuffled his feet
Making everyone leave their seat




He may not have been the best dancer there
But the crowd cheered him being very fair
For he had the wisdom to put on a show
And the courage that could only grow


He may not have had the best of styles
But he sure knew how to bring a smile
His moves were a bit outdated
But the crowd was still delighted



He had the courage to go out of his way
To show the world what he had to say
His moves were a from a time gone past
But the crowd still had a blast



He was the oldest one there by far
But he had a way of shining like a star
His moves were a bit clunky
But he still was kinda funky



He may not have been a pro dancer
But he still knew how to make the crowd answer
He may have been a little out of his time
But he became the life of the party in his prime
