There’s a vending machine in here… and a door opposite. Anyone hungry? No? Let’s just go straight through.
Oh, the door’s stuck. Is there another way?
“There’s a key pad, Dad. Look. What’s the code?”
Hmmm? Oh, look – the vending machine is called Code Crackers.
It’s got Christmas crackers inside![*] Push the button, will you? Let’s pull us a cracker!
(Bang!)
Harrumph! There’s no gift. I was hoping there would be a token inside.
“But there is a joke.”
What does it say?
“My Christmas decorations are inflatable.[**]”
Hmmm. It’s just the feed line.
“So, let’s choose the right punch line from the keypad.”
[*] Why don’t we have crackers at other times of year? What would happen if we did? What would an Easter Cracker set contain?
