Life is sweeter with some hearty laughs, so let’s welcome together the joke of the day. It’s called “Unknown Medication.”
Branden and Theodore run two different animal-people sanctuaries. They meet at the town hardware store every Saturday:
“How was your week?”
“Good, just there was a rescued bull-person being restless. But the vet came and gave him some special medicine, and now he seems to be doing fine.”
The next week, Theodore met Branden again.
“Branden, my bull-resident is being restless too. What was that medicine the vet prescribed?”
“I don't know, but it tasted like chocolate.”
?!
