Updated and republished July 13th, 2019: Déjà Vu for You Too? Some updated smiles for you …
Thanks to Nigel Jamie Bangs who originally shared this gag on my Facebook group, The Joke Street Journal (please join if you want some good laughs.) The original thought was this: And that got me thinking. So I started writing…..and writing…..and writing……and I came up with the following. Now in July 2019 I have come up with a few more. But … let’s get you thinking of even more!
Déjà Boo: Boring people with ghost stories when it isn’t Halloween
Déjà Blue: Long-standing UK Conservative / US Democrat voter
Déjà Brew: (UK) Teabag in cup with boiling water having been forgotten for an hour
Déjà Chew: Overly processed food

Déjà Due: A long overdue bill to pay before the bailiffs turn up
Déjà Flew: Elderly Boeing 737 (not a MAX…) used by airlines in developing countries
