Eating the Watch
If you thought that your time was valuable, this should teach you
Judy Haratz Cohen who is associated with this publication asked me to post some jokes here. She really should be more careful what she asks for.
This is the sixth in a series of jokes that I am nominating for the worst joke of 2025.
Ballots will be collected and the winner announced at the end of the year.

Then he unhooked the strap and removed the barrel.
