The last one, I promise. What does _Winnie the Pooh_ have in common with _Alexander the Great_?

They share their middle name.

My partner told a Soviet joke! I am so proud of her!

A man gets in line for vodka, and as the hours pass gets more and more frustrated. Finally, he throws his hands up.  
“That’s it! I’ve had it! I hate Gorbachev! I’m going to go kill him!”  
He rushes off.  
A few hours later he shoulders his way back into his place in line.  
“How did it go!?” ask the people around him. “Did you kill Gorbachev?”  
“I made it to the Kremlin,” the man responds with a sigh, “but the line to kill him is longer than this one.”

Scotland Yard has started offering cups of a refreshing hot beverage to every citizen who’s been unfortunate enough to become part of a violent crime statistic, but it’s not a popular decision. Everyone’s unhappy with the police brew-tally-tea.

I’ve just been reading about a medieval siege where the attackers ran out of ammunition, so they loaded the trebuchet with a severed peasant’s head and fired it. By sheer luck, it hit the Duke’s son and knocked him off the battlements.

It was the first serf-face-to-heir missile.

I am in your debt.

I read this one online, but damn if it isn’t becoming a favourite:

I like this one, if a bit cruel:

- Son, sit down, we need to talk.  
-OK dad.  
-You were adopted.  
-What? What do you mean adopted? I want to meet my biological parents!  
-Wait, no, we are your biological parents, you were adopted yesterday, and your new parents come tomorrow to pick you up.

Huh, that’s made me realise that I’ve been mishearing the opening line for years.

Looks like I’m not the only one though:
