The Latvian magazine "Ir" has released a fresh batch of jokes in its regular anecdotes section, introduced with a reference to the hay bales seen in fields during summer, described as the season rolled up into bundles.

The collection itself does not form a single narrative but instead strings together several short humorous pieces on unrelated everyday topics. One touches on the struggle to spend money wisely, another draws a comparison between anglers and basketball players based on their long arms. There is also a joke about a vacation that began with a mountain biking trip and ended less fortunately.

Another piece plays on the theme of anniversary gifts, while a further joke references Latvia's healthcare system, contrasting free access to medicine with the quality of actual treatment. The collection also includes a joke about chronic procrastination, along with a reflection on wishing to switch not just phones but also the people around oneself to silent mode. It closes with advice for those taking up running: bring enough money for a return ticket.

The anecdotes section is a recurring feature in "Ir", offering light entertainment content unrelated to current news events.
