Drinking tea is much more dangerous than beer.

John from East Invercargill

As my previous joke needs to be sanitized to be shown :-( I will replace it with this one and hope no teetotalers take it to heart.
Tea is a dangerous and evil substance which makes it worse and more dangerous to drink than beer. Like last night I stayed out drinking 14 beers until 3.00am at … View more
As my previous joke needs to be sanitized to be shown :-( I will replace it with this one and hope no teetotalers take it to heart.
Tea is a dangerous and evil substance which makes it worse and more dangerous to drink than beer. Like last night I stayed out drinking 14 beers until 3.00am at the local pub while my wife stayed home drinking tea. When I arrived home peaceful and happy my wife was unbelievably angry and violent . I headed off to bed without arguing while my wife ranted and raved all night long. Please ladies if you can't handle drinking tea just don't drink it as I am sure it has lead to problems in many relationships.

God and Satan counting corpses at the cemetery

Two little boys stole a big bag of oranges from a neighbor...

Two little boys stole a big bag of oranges from a neighbor...
They decided to go to a quiet place to share the lot equally.
One of them suggested the nearby cemetery.
As they were jumping over the gate to enter the cemetery, two oranges fell out of the big bag but they didn't bother to pick them since they had enough in the bag.
Few minutes later, a drunkard on his way from a bar, passed near the cemetery gate & heard a voice saying: "One for me, one for you. One for me, one for you. One for me, one for you."
He immediately sobered up & ran as fast as he could to a church nearby, for the priest
"Father, please come with me . Come & witness God & Satan sharing corpses at the cemetery"
They both ran back to the cemetery gate & the voice continued: "One for me, one for you. One for me, one for you. One for me, one for you."
Suddenly, the voice stopped counting & said: "What about the two at the gate?"
You've never seen 2 people running so fast

Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.

"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”

The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.
