My cousin died recently in an accident at the bakery....

Submitted by Random_puns t3_zmuyyc in Jokes

He always said he wanted me to be a baker too, he told me I was bread for baking. I never tried it because I wanted to do it for the right reasons, not just because I knead the dough... then I found out that he was killed... a new baker put too much yeast in a large batch of dough and it rose too much and spilled out over my cousin, trapping him and suffocating him. Our other cousins said it was no big loss, he was a little in-bread anyway...

Cockney rhyming slang:

  1. Apples and pears: stairs.
  2. Plates of meat: feet.
  3. Dog and bone: phone
  4. Bread and honey: money.

When spoken, the rhyming word is omitted. so instead of saying “bread and honey“ they would simply say “bread.” Hence the term “bread” or “dough” to mean “money.”
