Thanks Parrot for starting this thread (no pun intended! )

a few more...
You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine'. So that was nice.
Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other "Your round." The other one says "So are you, you fat bastard!"
A woman told her doctor, 'I've got a bad back. 'The doctor said, 'It's old age. 'The woman said, 'I want a second opinion. 'The doctor says, 'OK. you're ugly as well. '

A man walked into the doctor's, he said 'I've hurt my arm in several places'
The doctor said 'well don't go there any more'
Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin.
Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin.
For even more, just google for "cooperisms" (named after comedian Tommy Cooper) ▲ Collapse

In memoriam | Thanks Cilian | Jan 28, 2008 |
Tommy Cooper is one of the funniest men ever to have walked a stage and brilliantly ruined a perfectly good joke.
Anyone that has not yet encountered his idiosyncratic comic genius could start with the hats routine.
Cheers,
Giles
PS
"Hats" has nothing to do with puns: it's just marvellous slapstick.

| Cooper rules! | Jan 28, 2008 |
At least he did... and perhaps still does. He really did have a style all his own.
I remember:
A man goes to the doctor. He says, "Doctor, when I do this, it hurts." The doctor says, "Well don't do it."
Hats off to Tommy Cooper.
