Daily jokes and cartoons 80/80
- How was fishing? - Impeccable, unfortunately. (The joke being that the Hungarian for "Impeccable" ("Kifogástalan") literally means "Without objections", and "Objection" is "Kifogás", which also means "fishing something out". So impeccable also translates to "without something to fish out", which is obviously the opposite of an "impeccable" fishing trip. Hope that made sense, sorry... Still, hope you had some fun over the last 80 days. See you around. G)

This is rather abstract. "Kan" is a word for "Male" in Hungarian, usually used for animals. "Tan" refers to "Tanulás", which is learning. "Tanoda" is an older term for "School". So the joke is: - What do you call a male only school? - Kanoda ("Malestitute").

- Strange... whenever I arrange a date to meet at this tree painting, they always leave me. ("Fa" is "Tree" in Hungarian and "Kép" is "Image" or "Painting/ Drawing/ Photo/ Etc.". There also a saying: "Faképnél hagyni" - Literally this means leaving somebody at a tree painting, but in practice it means leaving somebody hanging / leaving someone without a word.)

What type of a job does the scarecrow have? - indemnification. (This is "Kártalanítás" in Hungarian, and "KÁR" is an onomatopoeia for the sound crows make ("Caw" in English), while "talanítás" is a suffix for getting rid of something. So the word means indemnification, but also getting rid of "Caws".
