Terrible Jokes Thread

Not actually a terrible joke, but a pretty amusing post from social media, I felt. If any of the older members need it explaining, feel free to DM me ;)

URGENT CLARIFICATION: We wanted to step in quickly to clear up any confusion between our BAC Strikemaster and the pop icon James Blunt.
This is a fast developing situation so bear with us – this issue takes a little bit of explanation.
Our BAC Strikemaster Mk.88 NZ6373 is commonly known as a Blunty, owing to its distinctive short and rounded nose.
James Blunt, the singer behind a string of hits in the 2000s including ‘You’re beautiful’ has vowed to change his name to Blunty McBluntface if this month’s reissue of his Back to Bedlam album reaches number one in the UK charts.
The name Blunty McBluntface was chosen by his fan base.
Naturally, we are concerned about possible widespread confusion among the general public about the differences between our Blunty and the possible new Blunty.
To head this problem off, we have prepared some quick and easy ways to tell them apart at a glance:
1: The Strikemaster’s Rolls-Royce/Bristol Viper 535 makes a distinctive high-pitched shrieking sound at takeoff, whereas Blunty McBluntface’s voice has been described as more of a high-pitched but controlled emotional falsetto which is constant throughout his songs.
2: The Strikemaster was armed with two 7.622 mm machine guns and could carry a variety of ordnance. James Blunt, although a former soldier, is thought to be mostly unarmed.
3: The Strikemaster has a standard RNZAF camouflage paint scheme, Blunty McBluntface wears a variety of guises, mostly beige.
This has been a public service announcement on behalf of the Air Force Museum of New Zealand. Once again, you’re welcome!
