Grins & Giggles Tariffs Why don’t tariffs like sunny days? They thrive in cloudy negotiations. What’s a tariff’s favourite type of weather? Stormy trade winds. What do tariffs and speed bumps have in common? Both slow down progress. Why did the U.S. place a tariff on Australian kangaroo leather? They heard that it was hopping over the border too easily! Trade wars are like dad jokes – nobody wins, but everyone groans. Tariffs are like toddlers – they always demand attention and cause chaos. How does Donald Trump feel about the trade war with China? Tariff-ic. I’ve been reading so much about the scary trade disputes between the U.S. and Canada, that I see headlines when I blink... ...frankly, I’m tariff-eyed. Winter Why did the snowman hold up his arms? He was told to freeze. What did the black ice ask the car? Wanna go for a spin? What did the mitten say to the hand? I’ve got you covered. Where does a snowman store his cash? In a snowbank. When does winter begin? When autumn leaves. What has the best chance of surviving a fall? Snow. How do mountaintops handle the cold? They put on their snowcaps. What did the scarf say to the hat? You go on a head and I’ll just hang around. What do trees say after winter is over? What a re-leaf! Sunshine What can we deduce from the fact that Earth is the third planet from the sun? All earthly problems are third-world problems. Why is the sun such an egomaniac? It believes that everything revolves around it. Why does everyone love jokes about the sun? Because they are de-lightful. I stayed up all night to see where the sun went, then it dawned on me. How do you get ready for a trip around the sun? Planet. Don’t trust people who avoid the sun. They’re shady. You know that tariffs are bad when even economists start cracking jokes about them.
