WeekJforJocular

Over on Bluesky Sheena, a Glaswegian living in Northern Ireland, curates a weekly photographic challenge. I have been participating in these challenges for a couple of months It gives me an opportunity to dig into my rather large snapshot archive and share a few images to the weekly theme related to a letter of the alphabet.

Last week's theme for the challenge was WeekJforJocular so I went hunting in  my archive for images that tickled my funny bone. I resisted sharing the photos I had tagged as "Funny Faces" lest I offend someone whose facial expressions had made me laugh.

I seem to have a large collection of funny signs, these media figure largely in this "J" post. I wonder if they will raise a few smiles.

Found in my Family History files. Column 8 was a regular column in our morning newspaper - The Sydney Morning Herald, R J Ball is closely related to me.
