The funny thing about swine flu is that stories about the illness have spread virally across the internet much faster than the virus itself has actually spread in the real world. Swine flu has taken hold of Twitter, shooting straight into their top three terms. As well as all the serious information being passed about the virus, swine flu jokes are also spreading rapidly, so we thought we’d bring you a few of them…

“Apparently my mate’s got Swine Flu, I think he’s just telling porkies, though.”

“Anyone suffering from Swine Flu is advised to see their doctor immediately for some oinkment”

“I’ve just phoned the NHS Swine Flu Helpline and all I got was crackling”

“I think I’ve got that Swine Flu, I’m coming out in rashers”
