Lesotho Loti Puns

Maseru

Mar-Apr 2037

The Lesotho Loti is a nearly useless currency in this present time. It is pegged 1:1 to the South African Rand and it is seen to be of no use with the future integration of Lesotho into South Africa. The Lesotho Loti will cease being issued by the Lesotho government immediately. All future notes to be issued will be South African Rands and they will be issued by the South African government. The Lesotho Loti will continue to be legal tender indefinitely but any bank that receives it for a deposit will have to exchange it for South African Rands. This should slowly get it off the streets while still allowing for a somewhat gradual transition from using both the Loti and the Rand to just using the Rand.

Inflation will be managed to match the Rand's roughly 3.8% compared to the Loti's 6.8%. Expert economists will be in charge of ensuring the removal of the Loti will not increase inflation of the Rand by any noticeable amount.

#1. Background and Development

Southern Africa's trade integration process has its cornerstone laid in the year 1889 with the creation of what is today known as the Southern Africa Customs Union (SACU), considered the first institution of its kind. Known in its incipient form as the Customs Union Convention (CUC), the treaty is forged between the British colony of the Cape of Good Hope and the Free State of Orange. The Union later expanded to encompass the territories of Bechuanaland and Basutoland (currently Botswana and Lesotho, respectively) in 1893, eSwatini in 1903, and, finally, the South African Union in 1910 (NGALAWA, 2014). After a treaty involving only the United Kingdom and what is now South Africa, the CUC is remodeled (KIRK and STERN, 2005; NGWALA, 2014), with new mechanisms being integrated into it, such as a Common External Tariff for all imported goods, free flow of manufactured goods within the bloc itself, and a Revenue-Sharing Formula (RSF), for the distribution of revenue accumulated by the Union through a Common Revenue Pool (CRP) (SOUTHERN AFRICAN CUSTOMS UNION, 2013).

During the next 5 decades, the three colonies of Botswana, Lesotho, and eSwatini, then Swaziland, (known as BLS, and later BLNS with the addition of Namibia to the bloc) had their economies characterized by a deep vulnerability and dependence on the institution as a source of income. However, compared to its contribution to the CRP, the revenue returned to the BLS was negligible, which resulted in a growing disparity between the trio and South Africa (GIBB, 2006). In 1969, after Botswana and Lesotho gained independence in 1966 and Swaziland in 1968, they engaged in a new phase of SACU treaty negotiations with South Africa (NGALAWA, 2014). This new treaty, for the first time, established formal institutions designed to effectively administer the Customs Union. However, these are quickly co-opted by South Africa, which will maintain an undisputed dominance over them until the 1990s (GIBB, 2006). Among the highly rural economies of the BLS, South Africa, being the most industrialized and developed member, believed it was essential to retain control over tariff decisions (KIRK and STERN, 2005). In practice, despite the existence of a Customs Union Commission, composed of representatives of member countries, the bloc's trade policy was directly dictated by the South African Board of Tariffs and Trade (GIBB, 2006).

Strong criticism from the BLS countries to the democratic

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.

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?

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 😂

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.

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

They’re on standbi
