A man is trying to gain entry to a costume party.
Bouncer: What are you dressed as?
Man: A harp.
Bouncer: But your costume is too small to be a harp.
Man: Are you calling me a lyre?
I'm so sorry. I stole it from my son. It's his fault.

Folks who know Czechia/Poland well: I'm thinking of a family summer holiday. This would not be a holiday of adventure or cultural enrichment, but a chill holiday where we sleep in every day, and loaf around in or near the accommodation much of the time. We would aim to go out for a few hours […]
