One Christmas some members of the Home Circle tried out some jokes from Christmas crackers on Davia. Each Christmas he now gets his own back by giving us his own Christmas cracker jokes. He jokes that he has to be careful to make sure that they are not too good, because then they would not be of the right quality. Sometimes he would use Hai or any other communicator who happened to be talking to us at the time to relay his jokes. Here is a small sample of them:
Q: What do you call a three-toed mushroom?
Answer: Toadstool.
Q: What was the figure head on the prow of Noah's boat?

Q: What did the axe man say to the person who had his head on the block?
Answer: Don't move and it won't hurt.
Humour:
Q: Davia is becoming very serious and philosophical these days.
Hai: Yes, we are getting through to him. He would say he is getting through to us. But he deep philosopher in own right. He deep thinker in own right. But he like to make people laugh. He like to make people happy. Therefore he make point of doing this, but he deep waters behind shallow presentation.
Q: I think the most valuable thing you can do is to make people laugh.
Hai: Yes this is so, but laugh from the heart not the mouth. Laughter from the heart great medicine. Laughter from the heart great cure. Laughter from the mind and the mouth not so good.
Q: No, I don't like tacky jokes.
Hai: Even putting aside tacky jokes, some humour, some jokes, are more light, more of the mind. This is ok so far as go, but if some humour, some laughter, come from heart, whole person laugh. When you laugh from heart, this is good therapy. This is good for health.
Q: Do you mean comedy situations, like in general life?
Hai: Sometimes there is much to be found in life. Much laughter to be found in life, in ordinary conditions of life. Good to have awareness of funny side of life. Good to be ready to laugh at the funny side of life.
