Dont encourage him , Mick

Fark me but this material is soooo dated, but I guess it might be new in India

I'm with Mick, the bottom one's pretty good - i.e. I chuckled and hadn't heard it.

I first heard that about 20 years ago. I may have chortled then.

Finally a joke that isn't so well travelled?

Well, I'm not encyclopedic on japes - I could've heard it

F*cking laughter police.

No policing involved ... it is old, though. Interesting that it's recirculating after such a long time; even more interesting if it's circulating in India or England for the first time.

Well all you lot will say those jokes were about as funny as a train wreck but I say phooey to that, they were nowhere near that funny.

Yeah Lardy. They are old stale breads but still relevant to Indian matches when they get big either on complacency or on over-confidence.

Yup, also laughed at the last one (hadn't heard it and 'twas only slightly spoiled by the unfunny drivel he typed before it)

By the way, Batman, couldn't you change your avatar? I know it's making a valid point an' all, but it gives me the creeps for some reason (especially when you make about six posts in a row without waiting for a reply, as is your wont sometimes).

Thanks.

I don't like yours EH. It's like something I've forgotten from 1983.

POS REP ME!

I like it. It reminds me of Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat.

Fair enough. But we can't all have dogs shaking maracas now can we?

It's a good point, but I'm trying to maintain my air of modernist dynamo.

Well my avatar moves too of course (albeit more slowly).
