This German joke from 1939 is disconcertingly easy to transplant to today. 
A Berliner returns home through the darkened streets.

Suddenly a voice behind him: "Halt or I shoot!" Then: "Hand over your briefcase!" 

Whereupon the greatly relieved Berliner says to the robber: "My God, you gave me a shock. I thought you were the police."

Small circular needles with two small pieces of work laying on top of an open knitting pattern showing a picture of a knit hat styled as a  dwarf helmet from Lord of the Rings. Yarn bowl contains two balls of yarn: one is pale copper and metallic, and one is dark green and brown variegated sock wool.

Terrible joke meme made of 3 stacked images from a moving scene in the film Finding Neverland.
1. Close up of a young boy (Freddy Highmore) sitting on a park bench with his father looks up at him and says "Dad, can you tell me what a solar eclipse is?" 
Image 2: Close-up of the dad (Johnny Depp) looking down at his son saying "No Sun" 
Image 3: the father embraces the boy as they sit on a bench. The boy is crying at the dad joke.

#showmeyourknits Reworked, restored, reimagined Three things that started in my first five years of knitting, and have changed into things still being used decades later: Improved sleeves, recycled yarn, socks to mitts
As a young knitter, I had completely failed to account for drop shoulders, and had comically long sleeves that I just shoved up and lived with on this otherwise comfortable serviceable sweater. Then one day 20 years later, I realized I knew exactly how to fix it and I actually did it!  I still wear it regularly.

Briefly, in the mid 80s, knit dresses were so fashionable. And as a very new knitter, I was so pleased with myself for making one. But then it was completely out of style almost instantly and not as much to wear. So eventually I frogged it and turned that carefully selected yarn into a variation of a Baja hoodie that I wear more than I was ever going to wear the dress. One of the first sets of socks I made eventually were beyond darning and turned into mitts for my son.
