"Cod, I am really fed up being chased by bigger fish all day who just want to eat me. Is there anything you can do to help?"
Cod said: “Well as a matter of fact I have magical powers and I can turn you into a shark if you would like that".
Justin said: "Wow that would be great, thanks", and Cod turned him into a huge shark.
So, Justin went about his business enjoying being a shark and terrorising smaller creatures. He was having such a good time that he didn't notice he hadn’t seen his mate Christian for a while. He went to find him at a favourite spot where they used to hang out together but when he got there, Christian took one look at him and fled.
Justin suddenly realised his best mate was terrified of him because he was now a shark. He couldn’t let that happen so he went to find Cod to ask him if he could turn him back into a prawn. Cod obliged and Justin went off happily to find his mate.
He couldn’t see Christian so as he neared the spot where they used to hang out, he called out to his mate "Hey, its me… where are you?" but Christian, on hearing his voice swam away and hid under a rock. Justin went after him and yelled out:
"Hey, it’s OK. I am a prawn again Christian. I found Cod!!!"
NOTE: No disrespect to Christians intended.

Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI must apologise for not getting here sooner. I need to update my blog list so I visit regularly. It's so good to have you back.
I need to try to commit that joke to memory and then tell it to my friends, one in particular who loves a silly joke.
Take care!
Hi Kylie. Thanks for the feedback. No apology necessary. I am spending a fair bit of time on Substack. I might do a post about it at some point. You might like it - there is some really good quality material there and you follow authors who write about things you are interested in.
DeleteI am not a joke teller but I do remember a couple of jokes. I have another religious joke that is probably my favourite. It is gently irreverant and hopefully not offensive. I'll try and remember to post it.
