I came across the funniest joke I’ve seen for years:
“Doctor, I have a pain in my knee”
“Hmm, you’ll have to stop masturbating”
“Really? Why?”
“Because I’m trying to examine you”.

My first thought as well!

can happily say that CIE dream to turn temple bar into a shopping mecha with an underground bus depot never went through.
But after the recession in 2000’s it got gentrified to all hell by homogenised tourist traps. All my favourite spots gone and you don’t get the gaggle of artists hanging about like ya used to. Dame Lane became that avenue for a while but it seerms even the artisans have been brushed out of there for that bright lit happy times sitcom aesthetic.
Oh and Temple Lane rehearsal studio is still there, it’s part of what was once called Temple Bar Music Centre (changed venue name to The Button Factory maybe 15 years ago? I still call it TBMC 
It’s where I went to my first Punk gig )

Well I had zero issues reading that but I already knew how to read before I started school so maybe I am just weird.

The s that looks like an integral sign in math also mimics the old English “long s.”
The integral symbol mimicked the long s to mean “summa,” Latin for “sum.”
