And the winning joke is ...
The last time I went on holiday I flew with BA. It was terrible. He kept
shouting 'You crazy foo'. I ain't gettin' on no plane!'

Congratulations to Emma Lynch for winning £25,000 and submitting the winning
joke.


And the other 2 finalists were...

Man: "Doctor, I have a problem with my hearing."
Doc: "Ok, what are the symptoms?"
Man: "A cartoon family on television!"
Kirk Panter from Canvey Island

Last night's charity panto performance in aid of 'Help the Paranoid'
descended into chaos... Someone in the audience shouted 'He's behind you.'

BA Baracus of The A.Team!!!
Shut up fool!!

Although if you take it literally it's a bit of a let down, as BA was
actually terrified of flying and had to be sedated everytime that the A Team
had to fly anywhere...... oh well.

Umm, surely that's right, cos the joke was "I ain't getting on no plane"

the BA was a "clever" joke not exactly side splitting but I could see how it would appeal to a rival airline marketing dept ;-)

Yes, I liked that. None of them were hilarious, but they were all
giggle-able. Having run a joke competition before, I don't envy
the judges.

Humour's one of those odd things. Either you're lucky enough to be
on the same wavelength as the judges or you're not. There are probably
a lot of entries that you would have preferred. But you weren't the
judge. There's a lot less skill involved than you'd like to think

The last time I went on holiday I flew with BA. It was terrible. He kept
shouting 'You crazy foo'. I ain't gettin' on no plane!'

But it says she flew with him....if he was on the plane he would have been
drugged.

Obviously it was /before/ he was drugged, as he was saying he wasn't
getting on the plane. there'd be no point saying he wasn't if he already
was.

ALthough it's starting to lose a bit in over-analysis.

So if he was drugged then flying with him would be fine, check in would be
the nightmare.
