Annie Chapman Puns

"130 years ago today, a woman who battled with alcoholism, spent time in one of the first all female rehab centres in the UK trying to overcome it before it overcame her, was murdered in a yard off Hanbury Street. Her name was Annie Chapman. She was the first victim of Jack the Ripper.

Annie's father had been a soldier....... and also suffered from alcohol addiction. He cut his own throat while in Wrexham with his employer".

No AA in those days. Thank God for I live in a time where there's a solution.

While we speculate about the identity of Jack the Ripper, let us not forget the very real victims that he killed. Jack killed Annie Chapman on this date in 1888. She was the second among the five canonical Ripper victims. She lived an extremely hard life. At the time of her death she was mostly homeless (sleeping in lodging houses and occasionally with Edward Stanley, a laborer), selling her prostitution services and crochet work, and was heavy into alcoholism. One of her three children died at the age of 12 and the other was born disabled. The end of her life was brutal. RIP Annie. You didn't deserve your fate in life at all.

Like all the best non-fiction, this book gave me a lot to think about.

I usually avoid true crime because so many TV shows, podcasts and books are heavily sensationalised and rarely victim focused. In the case of media focused on the Ripper specifically, there's a tendency to mythologise the killer and stereotype the victims. I might even have avoided this book if it weren't for my book club.

Ironically, I ended up enjoying it much more than the other, true crime fan, book club members. The Five is more women's social history than it is anything else. All these women were victims of victorian moral and social attitudes long before they were murdered. Annie Chapman, for example, lost several siblings within weeks of each other as a child, her father to suicide, and her 12-year-old daughter. Without any real form of bereavement counselling or other mental health treatment, it's little wonder she became dependent on alcohol, and once that happened she had even less support and suffered even more judgement.

Rubenhold doesn't go into the gory details of the murders themselves, just the moments leading up to them and the aftermath. There is so much tragedy in these women's stories that their deaths feel inevitable, and in some cases almost a relief. By necessity, Rubenhold frequently resorts to speculation and there are a lot of statements beginning 'she must have' and 'she would have'. This isn't the author's fault; these women hardly ever got to speak for themselves and about half of them couldn't even write. They are daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, lovers and friends, but they never quite manage to feel like individuals.

A varied career, fostered by her affectionate, idealistic father, was fuelled by her own boundless enthusiasm. In the honesty, humour, and incisiveness of her writing lies a fine memorial to her zest for life.

Annie Lee Rees was born at Beechworth, Victoria, Australia, on 24 April 1864, the eldest of seven children of Hannah (Annie) Elizabeth Staite and her husband, William Lee Rees, a congregational minister who was subsequently a notable lawyer and Liberal politician in New Zealand. The family emigrated to Dunedin in 1866 and later lived at Hokitika, Auckland, Napier and Gisborne.

Annie, who was better known as Lily or Lil, grew up in a stimulating, happy environment. Fair-haired and short-sighted, she was regarded as intellectually precocious, and clearly adored her father. She wrote vividly of her first 24 years in an unpublished autobiography, 'Life's amazing zest'. After attending schools in Auckland, Wellington and Napier she returned home to Gisborne to help teach her younger brothers and sisters. She frequently visited relatives in Auckland, where she 'came out' into society in 1882. An intelligent and articulate young woman, she revelled in music and reading and excelled at swimming, riding and tennis.

During her 20s Lily Rees helped her father write pamphlets expounding his political views. She was also his secretary when he was seeking to establish trusts and group settlements for Maori lands on the East Coast. She travelled with him and the Maori parliamentarian Wi Pere to England in 1888 in a vain attempt to promote these schemes. In 1892 father and daughter wrote The life and times of Sir George Grey, an uncritical full-length biography of William Rees's political ally and close friend.

Lily Rees subsequently published articles on historical and current topics. She also returned to academic study, matriculating in 1894 and becoming an extramural student of Auckland University College. In 1898 she leased a girls' college in Dunedin, Obern Lodge Private School, and while principal there passed her first law exams. She transferred to the University of Otago in 1899, graduated BA in 1901 and MA with honours in political science in 1902. She was by now a certificated teacher with seven years' experience.

In April 1902, with 19 other New Zealand women, Lily Rees was selected from 222 applicants to teach in the Boer concentration camps of South Africa. While there she wrote a number of articles describing the country and her experiences in

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I paid no attention to handedness or expected position.

Achmed Kahn - Axeman

Premier and electric power hitting with solid bat to ball contact, decent runner, not so great at fielding. Achmed should be in all lineups. Top tier music when crushing dingers.

Batting: 10

Running: 7

Pitching: 2

Fielding: 5

Player Comparison: Fernando Tatis Jr

Amir Kahn - Sticks

Not quite as much power as his brother. Not the best fielder and has some pretty good speed, but solid power. Pitching skills go down when you put Amir on the same team with Achmed, so I’m tampering down the pitching hype.

Batting: 7

Running: 6

Pitching: 9

Fielding: 4

Player Comparison: Adam Duvall

Angela Delvecchio - Sugar Pop

Angela Delvecchio could make a high impact case for a two-way player. With incredible pop, she has a tremendous arm and I also had a crush on her when I was a child.

Batting: 8

Running: 4

Pitching: 10

Playing: 1

Player Comparison: Shohei Ohtani

Annie Frazier - Flipper

This character makes me uncomfortable largely because she’s playing in flip flops and I don’t enjoy looking at a young girl’s cartoon feet. That can’t be comfortable but I guess she can hit and run well.

Batting: 9

Running: 8

Pitching: 1

Fielding: 6

Player Comparison: Teoscar Hernandez

Ashley Webber - Little Smokey

If you put Ashley on the same team as Sidney, they’re both really good. I can only really compare them to the Seager brothers currently but it’s not a bad assumption, even though they never played on the same team.

Batting 5

Running 7

Pitching 6

Fielding 3

Player Comparison: Corey Seager

Billie Jean Blackwood - Crazy Legs

Good hitter, not a bad runner, pretty below average in pitching and fielder. I’m actually already getting exhausted by this list because she’s kind of boring. Her long legs stress me out and she seems like she would be a close-talker.

Batting 8

Running 6

Pitching 4

Fielding 4

Player Comparison: Adam Frazier

Dimitri Petrovich - Paste

I didn’t even know this guy could hit because I wouldn’t let him even smell my team based off of the way he looks and he would throw off every post-game hangout with the team. But apparently he’s pretty good but nothing amazing with fielding.

Batting: 8

Running: 7

Pitching: 1

Fielding: 3

Player Comparison: Tyler O’Neil

Ernie Steele - Funny Bones

Hits for low average, pretty good speed and a godlike fielder. He has a big strike zone which annoys me and I don’t pick him up on my

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

Mathematical puns makes me number

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Said if she ever hosts a gender reveal party, when it comes time to pop the balloon she'll spray everyone with water.

Gender is fluid.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

BamBOO!
