A woman walks into a mortuary. The mortician lifts up the sheet and the woman says: ‘Yes, that is my husband, but what detergent are you using to keep your sheets so white?’ The joke comes from ‘Das schwarze Buch’ by the German comic artist Uli Stein.

Column: Slimme Condooms

Condooms, broodroosters, wasknijpers, schoenveters, bh’s, deodorant, tuinslangen. Waar gaat dit heen?
