The AWOL newspaper had a regular jokes page, Area 555 (the number five is spoken as ‘HA!’ in Thai) and this is a logical extension of that to include jokes, funny pictures, cartoons, videos or anything else that might make us laugh. Please note that some of the content on this page may contain bad language or what some might be offended by, so proceed with caution if you are easily offended or sensitive to certain topics. All of the material on this page is produced by other sites on the internet, so direct any complaints to the original source (clearly shown on each item) and not to AWOL.
