A retired guy sits around the house all day so one day his wife says, “Joe, you could do something useful, like vacuum the house once a week”.


The guy gives it a moment’s thought and says; “sure why not. Show me to the vacuum”.


Half an hour later, the guy comes into the kitchen to get some coffee. His wife

says, “I didn't hear the vacuum working, I thought you were using it”?


Exasperated, Joe answers, ”The stupid thing is broken, it won't start. We need to buy a new one”.


“Really”, she says, “show me - it worked fine the last time”.


So he did (Click Here)...

An old man is sitting on his front porch at 6:00 am watching the sun rise. He sees the neighbor's kid walk by carrying something big under his arm. He yells out "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" Boy yells back, "A roll of chicken wire." Old man says "What you gonna do with that?" Boy says "Catch some chickens." Old man yells "You damn fool, you can't catch chickens with chicken wire!" Boy just laughs and keeps walking. That evening at sunset the boy comes walking by and to the old man's surprise he is dragging behind him the chicken wire with about 30 chickens caught in it.

Same time next morning the old man is out watching the sun rise and he sees the boy walk by carrying something kind of round in his hand. Old man yells out "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" Boy yells back "Roll of duck tape." Old man says "What you gonna do with that?" Boy says back "Catch me some ducks." Old man yells back, "You damn fool, you can't catch ducks with duck tape!" Boy just laughs and keeps walking. That night around sunset the boy walks by coming home and to the old man's amazement he is trailing behind him the unrolled roll of duck tape with about 35 ducks caught in it.

Same time next morning the old man sees the boy walking by carrying what looks like a long reed with something fuzzy on the end. Old man says "Hey boy, whatcha got there?" Boy says "It's a pussy willow." Old man says "Hold on, I'll get my hat."
 
A myth perhaps, but always made me laugh:

Pia Zadora was in a production of The Diary of Anne Frank. On the opening press night, her performance as the lead character was so awful, when the storm-troopers entered the house at the beginning of the second act, members of the audience shouted out "she's hiding behind the wardrobe."


On the same subject David Mitchell got in a bit of hot water when introducing an episode of the Radio Four panel game The Unbelievable Truth when he said that Anne Frank’s last diary entry was: “It’s my birthday and dad bought me a drum kit."

Sweating like Anne Frank practising the drums.

On the last point , in Alan Bennet's memoires, they're trying out one of his plays in a regional theatre, before moving to the west end and audiences tended to be a bit prudish. Before walking out, an audience member was heard to say "I didn't pay good money to listen to these farkers swearing"

Wasn't it Peter Cook who rebuffed an invitation by saying he had a subsequent engagement?
