PRIZE for the worst joke of the week goes, by a distance, to the august Financial Times. It goes: "A man goes into a bar with a giraffe. He asks for a whisky for himself and a pint of bitter for his friend. The barman serves the drink. The man downs the whisky, but when the giraffe does the same with his drink he falls down dead. The man starts to leave but is called back by the barman. "You can't leave that lying there," he said. "What are you talking about?" replies the man. "That's no lion, it's a giraffe." Ouch.
