Surreal answers, surreal joke

Interviewer: How much milk do these cows give?

Farmer: Which one? The black one or the brown one?

Interviewer: Brown one.

Farmer: A couple of litres per day.

Interviewer: And the black one?

Farmer: A couple of litres per day.

Interviewer(naturally a bit flummoxed): I see. What do you give them to eat?

Farmer: Which one? Black or brown?

Interviewer: Black.

Farmer: It eats grass.

Interviewer: And the other one?

Farmer: Grass.

Interviewer(now annoyed) : Why do you keep asking which one when the answers are the same?!

Farmer: Because the black one’s mine.

Interviewer: Oh, and the brown one?

Farmer: It’s also mine

Gerald Scarfe is an English artist, illustrator and all-round talented guy. His caricatures of political figures are legendary. I didn't know he had tried his hand at sculptures, and this one caught my eye. It's called "The Racist." Interesting, eh?


Scarfe's Margaret Thatcher:




Blair didn't escape either:


Politicians of both parties being manipulated by our old friend, Rupert Murdoch:


Brexiteers:


Gerald Scarfe also created the animation for Pink Floyd's hit "The Wall."


He's still active at the age of 80, and he hasn't lost any of his sharpness!

 


Finally, a bonus, for old times sake:
