“Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off” – Tommy Cooper
He’s always been the best, imho. 🙂
I rather think a lot of the old jokes were much funnier, but then the dreaded PC had not invaded their repertoire. Too many subjects now off field so to speak.
A lot of the old good jokes would get you in a court with a ‘hate crime’ charge now.
God rot the lot of them!
Thanks for the list Sheona. A couple of crackers, a few middlers and some duffers.
One-liners can be funny but even the good ones can be forgotten. This is a slightly longer joke that is unforgettable.
I used to enjoy that wireless show at the end of which Frank Muir and Dennis Norden gave their amusing explanations for well-known sayings.

I like the Alternative Dictionary round in ISIHAC (I’m sorry I haven’t a clue) where alternative meanings for words are proposed, e.g. Teepee. A tent where you go for a piddle after drinking lots of tea!
