The Comedy Thread - Jokes, Cartoons, Whatever

So I had a physical therapy session today, so I dropped my son (12 years old) off at the wife's work, which is right next door, while I was there. I pick him up to head home when it was over. Here we go:

Him: How was your session?
Me: It was fine. How was your stay at mom's work?

Him: Good. She gave me her phone and I was looking at pictures.
Me: Sounds interesting.

Him: Yeah. Some of them made me feel nostalgic. I was a little guy back in the day.
Me: :oops:

The owners of a Florida curio shop have been arrested for selling human remains on Facebook Marketplace, according to the Orange City Police Department.

Kymberlee Schopper, 52, and Ashley Lelesi were arrested and charged with the purchase or sale of human organs and tissue, according to court records.

She confirmed to authorities that the store featured "multiple bone fragments, all purchased from private sellers," the affidavit said. Lelesi said she had documentation for these transactions, but "could not provide it at that moment," the affidavit said.

"It's ok, officer, I have documentation for those 4 kilograms of cocaine" doesn't work.
