You obviously aren't spending enough time on the '18 elections. Just a joke! We have a lot of weapons. We can totally upset political history in these mid-term elections.

I was walking down the road when I saw an Afghan bloke standing on a fifth floor balcony, shaking a carpet. I shouted up to him: "What's up Abdul, won't it start?"

That one made me laugh our loud.

John Cleese was "Robin Hood" in the film Time Bandits

. When he met the Bandits (who were "little people"), he did a very good Prince Phillip take "Oh you're dwarves. How lovely for you!" -

The Monty Python genre could not be created in this age of political correctness.

Think of Monty Python, Benny Hill, and the like. They’d be too offensive to attempt today.

I once laughed at a British joke. The last line was:

"But it was in Lady Higanbotham's handwriting!"

That was about sixty years ago. Can't remember the rest of the joke . . .
