I have enough problems with 'Red leather. Yellow leather. Red leather. Yellow leather. Red leather. Yellow leather' ... and so on.
Such a marvellous idea - bring out your bears!
So many threads to choose from, but I'm sure to offend someone by not being serious in what really is a serious situation, so I'll post this here instead.

This just in:
Spanish King Felipe VI has been quarantined to his jet.
News reports from Madrid say the reign of Spain is staying mainly on the plane.
When you need to be reminded to practise social isolation and definitely NSFW or where children are within earshot-
Woohoo!
Thank you linespeople. Thank you balls-people. Thank you to everyone who's commented here.

post editing remarks: I removed it because is was redundant— outing videos is a challenge for me.
As far as what constitutes humor, that is up for discussion — Good Friday, for instance.
I'm sorry I can't get the video to run smoothly, so I can't get to funny part.
T he bit that I have heard is totally wrong.
The naming convention for new illnesses and conditions was changed, after much discussion, 5 years ago as has been discussed many times on other threads not devoted to humour. Full guidance is provided in this document:

Please pay special attention to Table A and Table B where the explanations on why certain geographical or environmental features can be included and why MERS should be avoided. Countries are to be specifically avoided.
Further, the virus has a name, which evolved quickly from the research of it genome & observation of symptoms. It's in the SARS 'family' but worse. What is so hard about that???
I forgot this year. I must put the event in the diary for next year.

When even sport is locked down, what is a commentator to do?
Enter Andrew Cotter.
He's a Scottish broadcaster who works for the BBC in the UK, and during the
lockdown he's taken to commentating on all manner of things, mainly to do with his labradors, Olive and Mabel...

Many of the comments are also priceless.
Enjoy!

I'm sure (most of) the Aussie callers know of them.
The first Melbourne Cup I was involved in was in 1976, when I'd just got into radio.
The day (Tuesday, November 2nd) was wet. There was a tremendous storm just before the race started, and the rain continued to pelt down while the race was being run. I recall the commentator 'losing' the field as they went down the back straight, and then regaining them as they came around the home turn, although he couldn't identify one horse, as both horse and rider were totally caked in mud!
Speaking of names, there's an ongoing battle of wits between owners and the race stewards as the owners try to get risque names into the system, and don't the race-callers and fans love them!
One I remember was 'Hoof Hearted'. And this one got past the authorities in New Zealand a little while ago...
One of my favorite harness racing horses is Wiggle It Jiggleit. His sire is Mr. Wiggles.
How's this for an anthem for those returning to school after lockdown?
'Moist breath zone!' is a song written by a school principal in New Zealand.
