The latest issue of Egmont’s TOXIC is in the shops now and comes with a free electronic handheld game that the publishers say is guaranteed to keep readers busy on boring car journeys or when they’re stuck round your nan’s!
They’ve also kindly sent us some jokes you can tell over the summer holidays, so as a bit of midweek relief, we thought we’d pas ’em on…
Q. What do you call a fish with no eyes?
A. Fsh!
Q. What do vampires have at eleven o’clock every day?
A. A coffin break!
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Abbott!
Abbott who?
Abbott time you answered the door!
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Boo!
Boo who?
Don’t cry it’s only a joke!
Look, don’t blame us – we just work here. Send TOXIC better jokes via www.toxicmag.co.uk
