[not from The Fringe]

Was at a funeral the other day. Guy had died after being hit on the head by a tennis ball.

It was a lovely service.

********************

Two men were driving around in a truck with a penguin.
A traffic cop noticed the penguin and stopped the truck
and told the driver to take the bird to a zoo right away. The
next day, the same cop saw the same two men in the
same truck with the penguin again. He stopped them
and said, "Didn't I tell you guys to take this bird to a zoo
yesterday?" And the driver said "We did exactly that
officer! Today we're taking him to the movies."

**********************

Guy goes to the doctor with a steering wheel stuck to his .... er .... manhood.
Doc says, "Is it painful?"
"Sure is" came the reply. "It's driving me nuts."

**********************

I told Von the one about the new pound coin, last night.....

Q.   Why does the new £1 coin have 12 sides?

A. So you can use a spanner to get it out of a Yorkshireman's* grasp.


* You may replace Yorkshireman with any other British stereotype, but it's true about those from the County of the White Rose

A Yorkshireman once told me the following

"Definition of a Yorkshireman - A Scotsman with all the generosity taken out"

Now then, speaking as a Yorkshire man, as I am, I 'as t'say that I'm as generous as the next man. Except when it comes t'money.

I'll do a good dead - as long as it don't cost me nought. And I'll sweat and graft and suffer on such efforts. But when it comes t'money...

Indeed.  :D

Though I always think of the DOA acronym as [the] Disciples Of Apocalypse, which does betray me as a lover of American wrestling sports entertainment.

Disciples Of Apocalypse was a WWF take on the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club

Thread resurrection

All in a night's work

A guy meets a sex worker in a bar. She says, 'This is your lucky night. I've got a special game for you. I'll do absolutely anything you want for £300, as long as you can say it in three words.'




The guy replies, 'Hey, why not?' He pulls his wallet out of his pocket and lays £300 on the bar, and says slowly. 'Paint...my...house.'
