1) I hope I have this Tommy Cooper routine correct:
"I went to see my doctor the other day. I said, 'I'm sorry I havent been to see you but I've been ill'. Then he asked me to stand on the table. Why? I asked, 'so I can hoover the carpet' he replied."
2) A trio of secret agents go hunting in the woods outside Washington DC. They decide to have a competition to see who can shoot the largest deer, and fan out into the woods. When they return the KGB agent hasn't shot anything, nor, when he returns has the CIA agent. The Mossad agent returns to the camp holding a rabbit and claims the prize. 'But that's not a deer!' the other two protest. 'Yes it is', says the Mossad agent, 'it confessed'.
I don't rate any of the so-called comedians who have emerged in the last 20 years or so, this selection of Edinburgh Fringe comics published in 2008 may explain why -I read them all without a laugh.
