“Primark implies the existence of Primatthew, Priluke and Prijohn”

Primark is an Irish multinational fast fashion retailer. Primark has nothing to do with the Gospel of Mark (one of four New Testament gospels, along with Matthew, Luke and John), but there are jokes.
   
“The existence of Primark implies the existence of Primatthew, Priluke, and Prijohn” was posted on Twitter by Aoife💃🏽 on August 23, 2022.
 
Similar jokes include “Checkmarks imply the existence of checkmatthews, checklukes and checkjohns” and “Hallmark implies the existence of Hallmatthew, Hallluke and Halljohn.”
   
   
Wikipedia: Primark
Primark (/ˈpraɪmɑːrk/; trading as Penneys in the Republic of Ireland) is an Irish multinational fast fashion retailer with headquarters in Dublin, Ireland. It is a subsidiary of Associated British Foods and has stores across Europe and in the United States. The Penneys brand is not used outside of Ireland because it is owned elsewhere by American retailer J. C. Penney.
