Twitter Jokes Of The Week: Week 13 (Of 52)

The Huffington Post UK   Andrea Mann   First Posted: 30/03/2012 13:19   Updated: 22/04/2012 20:13

Welcome to this week's round-up of funny tweets! And what a week it's been. Pasties are set to be taxed, first-class stamps are set to be more expensive, and as a result of panic-buying petrol, jerrycans have been in the news for the first time since 1940 - despite 'jerrycan' being completely offensive to all jerrys. Sorry: Germans.

Meanwhile, in the world of showbiz, there was the return of Mad Men, the launch of The Voice and the news that James Cameron had, incredibly, reached depths lower than Piranha II: The Spawning.

Below are just a jerrycanful of our favourite funny jokes, puns and silly tweets about some of those subjects - and many, many more. Oh, and if you're a fan of the Twitter sensation that is @WeirdHorse - and heaven knows we are - trot over here to read our exclusive interview with him.

Lucy Robinson: Save the Pasty, Tax the Gourmands

Many people are complaining that your hot baked goods tax is just another way of taking a swipe at the working classes, who apparently eat nothing but Greggs's produce. It's alleged that you've failed yet again to tax silly middle class fripperies and have chosen to fire your budgetary bullets at foods so common that you can't even remember eating them.

Mark J Daniels: Draymen to Strike...Panic Buying of Beer Commences

I know it's not quite April Fool's Day but, as I read through the myriad of news stories, Facebook status updates and Twitter feeds I trawl through each morning the announcement that draymen - as opposed to fuel tanker drivers - are to go on strike did make me laugh out loud. Or LOL, as the youngsters might put it...

Georgy Jamieson: The One Where We All Panic

If social media networks are to be believed everyone is deriding those who are queuing around the block for fuel, but someone must be doing it because there are long queues everywhere.

Time to invent the pastry-less pasty. I only ever like the filling anyway!

I hope he enjoys it to make up for the fact I can't afford one.

He reminds me of a pasty I had recently: mostly upper crust no content, and luke warm.
