"thankyou waddle, and bring me a gin when i'm in it" said the peer.
and so it did occur.
as waddle was leaving, the peer said "bring me my newspaper waddle"
and so it did occur.
as waddle was leaving, the peer said "and some ice, waddle"
and so it did occur.
as waddle was leaving, the peer let a long and boisterous fart escape
under the soapy water.
waddle paused for a second, shook his head, and left.
ten minutes later wadddle returned with a hot water bottle
and said "here you are my lord"
the peer said "what's that ? i didn't ask for it"
"oh yes my lord" said waddle, "as i was leaving i distinctly heard you say......"

Wow! Another one from the school days (and I'm 50). Except it was
Wibble not Waddle. It's amazing - I read the joke and was suddenly
transported back to the playground. I can even remember where I was
when I heard it for the first time. Same with the duck joke.
But its not the worlds oldest joke. For the hell of it I thought I'd
try to find out. :

...Chris Andrew is fulsome in his praise of his colleagues (he
occasionally lures them onto programmes such as his BBC Radio 4
series,
What If?). He credits his Corpus colleague Paul Mellars with
discovering the world's oldest joke for one of his broadcasts. It is
reckoned to be 18,000 years old and is a bone carving found in a cave
in the Pyrennees.
The carving is of a spear thrower in the form of a deer looking round
quizzically at his rear end, out of which is emerging a turd in the
shape of another spear thrower. Humour, explains Chris Andrew, is
incongruity plus context; so, you might say, is a contemporary view of
history.

Split my sides at that one, I can tell you.
