Even

Then there’s the one about the girl who “can’t even!” (She’s a bit odd.) #lamejoke

Jack

Jack was from a poor family with many siblings.

As the eldest child, he took up the responsibility of helping his parents financially by doing odd jobs, be it collecting recyclable scraps, cleaning, babysitting, dog walking or simple repair work. He had no choice but to drop out of high school at the age of 14 to work full time in order for his other siblings to have a chance at higher education.

His hard work, dedication and skill with tools led him to be hired by a small local repair shop. There he learnt to repair almost every electric equipment under the sun. The shop owner was so impressed at his ability to learn different trades, that he even sponsored Jack to attend a few courses.

However, being a small shop, the owner couldn’t afford to pay him a large salary. Jack was used to being frugal by now and saved whatever money he had to be used for his sibling’s education. His only luxury was eating naan at an Indian restaurant on a monthly basis.

Realizing that he could save a lot more if he cooked the naan himself, Jack bought himself a hot cast skillet, looked up a few recipes and began cooking. He tried and tried, altering the recipe and cooking method ever so slightly until he finally found the perfect naan recipe.

Jack first let his siblings try the naan he cooked, then slowly began selling them to his neighbors. Seeing a market for his naan, he opened up a small store by the roadside and sold naan.

His naan business flourished. He soon earned enough to send his siblings to university and open up a small shop by himself. There were many blunders and mistakes made when he first managed his own restaurant, but once he got the hang of it, he had enough money to open more and more outlets. He soon had 25 outlets nationwide.

His rags to riches story drew the attention of the media. When asked about his success, Jack grinned from ear to ear and replied “I’m Jack of all trades, master of naan”. #lamejoke

Butter

For the cooking nerds out there, start by searing the steak over high heat in butter. “Won’t the butter burn?” you ask. Let me clarify…. #lamejoke

House

We’re renovating the house. The first floor is going great, but the second floor is another story. #lamejoke
