This Twitter joke may have taken a while to come to the boil, but it’s a handy reminder that good things come to those who wait.
It all started back in 2009 when Twitter user @Marcuslepage informed his followers he was just heading off to grab 40 winks…

Then, as with all good jokes, there was a bit of a wait between set up and punchline.
And then a bit more waiting.
And a bit more.
An entire SEVEN years passed before Marcus got back to us with this:

Happens to the best of us mate.
Twitter users were thankfully on hand to congratulate Marcus’ patience and bring him up to speed with life in 2016.
