Re: Terrible Jokes
You can replace the digit "8" with the word "ate" which is the past tense of "eat".
8 and "ate" are examples of homonyms.

So they spread Charter out on t'tea table
And John signed his name like a lamb.
His writing in places were sticky and thick
'Cos of dipping his pen in the jam.
Actually it wasn't signed at all, in the modern sense of writing one's name on it. Instead, King John attached his official seal.
But I guess the expected funny answer to the question is "at the bottom".

I took two pencils to the Polling Station yesterday.
When it was time to vote I could not decide which one to use : 2B or not 2B?

Re: Terrible Jokes
A beekeeper has quit after being targeted by professional bee thieves.

I suspect it was an inside job as to quote:-
he now believed the thieves had used a drone to find the hives as they were not visible from the road or a nearby track.
