Best Cracker Joke Ever!!!!!!

We had some left over tree crackers which we pulled today.  They'd been on the tree and we'd forgotten about them till we took the tree down last week, so we put them on the table today and pulled them before dinner.

Most of the crackers had the standard terrible cracker jokes, except for the one in my cracker, which as the title suggests in my opinion is the best cracker joke ever.

Q: How do you get two whales in a car?

A:Over the Severn bridge. (Highlight the text to make it appear)


The reason that I love this joke is due to the word play involved.  One of my favourite types of comedy is word play based comedy, which is why I love I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. One of the main components of the show is the use of double meanings or using different pronunciations to make a word mean something else, which is found in rounds like New Definitions.  There is also a liberal dose of old fashioned double entendres, especially when (the late great) Humphrey Littleton (Humph) was talking about Samantha.

Busy couple of weeks

The last couple of weeks have been fairly busy for me, or at least compaired to a normal week they have been.

On Wednesday 12th I went to see Chris Addison perform stand up at Leeds City Varieties. I had a really good night and enjoyed the comedy (apart from the fact he dissed Huddersfield)

On the Friday (14th) it was my birthday, I didn't do anything special for it. So now I'm 24 and it's slighly scary.

On the Saturday I went out for a meal with my friends and it was brilliant catching up with everyone.

And on Thursday 20th I officially became alumna (apparently the female of alumnus) of the University of Huddersfield. I will post a picture when I get some off Dad as he took too many pictures, a digital camera is perhaps not a good idea as far as he's concerned.
