In a small village in the far east, a young lad is riding to the shops on
his bike in order to buy some bread.
He pulls up alongside the shop and leans his bicycle against a lamp-post.
Entering the shop, he has a look around before finally asking the
assistant: " Excuse me, I'd like a loaf of white bread please."
The assistant replies: "I'm sorry, we don't have any white left. You'll
have to have brown."
The boy smiles and says: "That's alright, my bike's just outside!"

This is like the one an Aussie flatmate told me way back in '76
It's stayed with me all of this time so it sure is a blockbuster

Nope. after a few days of keep going back to it, mulling it over in bed,
dreaming about it and having psychotic dillusionary visions I still haven't got
it, and if i don't get it soon it's gonna cause some mental harm... Where's my
axe...

everyone else trying to get it, it's a joke to amuse the person telling it
for a change. i thought everyone knew it by now..... ah well, cheers for the

When I was a girl in Girl Scout day camp a million years ago I heard the
following one-liner, and though I didn't know yet what a one-liner *was*, I
was so puzzled by the joke that I never forgot it. It took me at least 5
years before I understood it. Ain't innocense grand?

Did you hear about the plastic surgeon who hung himself?


Cheers,
Susan

A man is sitting in a pub. A bloke walks in who he hasn't seen for fifteen
years. He calls him over:

- "So Bob, what have you been doing all these years?"
- "I've been studying the laws of logic."
- "Laws of logic? What's that?"
- "I'll give you an example."
"Do you have a goldfish?"
- "Yes I do."
- "Alright - then if you've got a goldfish, you must have a pond."
- "I do have a pond."
- "Okay, If you've got a pond, you must have a garden, and if you've
got a garden you must have a house."
- "You're right."
- "Hold on, I'm not finished.... So if you've got a house then you must
have a wife, and if you have a wife then you probably don't wank anymore."
- "Wow, that's amazing!" The man says bewildered.
They continue talking, then leave.
A couple of days later, the man is in the pub again, and he sees another
friend. He calls him over.
- "Hey Fred, guess who I saw yesterday."
- "Who?"
- "Bob."
- "Really, what's he up to?"
- "He's being studying the laws of logic."
- "The laws of logic? What's that?"
- "I'll give you an example..Do you have a goldfish?"
- "No."
- "Well then you're a fucking wanker aren't you."

I invented this (anti) joke when i was a kid. i had a perverse and cynical streak and i wanted to know if something posed as a joke could elicit laughter. The fact that the joke survived to this degree is rediculous. I never told it to anybody famous ... i didn't fkn KNOW anybody famous. But when i got to about 20 yrs somebody told me they had heard one Tony Blackburn tell it on morning BBC radio. So I guess somebody owes me in copyright. Always fancied a new set of teeth. Meanwhile Todd ----- consider this the revealed truth, you the prophet and I the angel Gabriel , oh and God too ---- now all you have to do is go forth and terrorise, with bad humour, create a religion of it and cut the heads off all the people you call 'unbelievers' ok? Cheers, jonnie
