As the joke called demonetisation gets worse, the jokes about it get better

Thanks to demonetisation we finally know what India will look like if a zombie epidemic ever hits. Stores are closed, roads are less full and hordes of people with vacant, hungry expressions wander the streets looking for working ATMs. Communication has also reduced to grunts, shrugs, screams and moans. If the starving masses don't get money to feed themselves soon, we'll soon be adding 'eating brains' to the zombie apocalypse comparison.

Yes, demonetisation has hit and it's hit hard. Based on how pro-demonetisation you are, this move either means that Modi loves us all and wants to give us each Rs 15 lakhs or that Modi hates us, drinks the blood of orphans and has his clothes made from the skin of poor. People who don't hold such extreme view points have apparently not discovered social media, so no one knows what they think.

While that last part will serve you well, the odds are that you're not too fond of the former two and you'll be even less so the longer this drags on. Still, complaining will not change anything wake the "If the army can..." trolls from their saffron slumber.

So, in lieu of complaining, those unhappy with demonetisation have been forced to laugh at their struggles instead. And, while the joke that is demonetisation gets less funny with each passing day, the jokes about it only seem to get funnier. Here's a round up of some of the funnier humour that has filled the vacuum left by the Rs 500 and 1,000 notes we once knew:
