I liked them too, and heard the first one delivered on the radio early this evening, together with: Conjunctivitis - a site for sore eyes (obviously better spoken than read) - and others I unfortunately can't remember
[Edited at 2012-02-08 20:01 GMT] Yes, Conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes - thanks Giles! Telling jokes isn't my forte...;-)

I have a feeling the conjunctivitis joke is a Tim Vine one. He's got some good one-liners, such as: Velcro: what a rip-off. Exit signs - they're on the way out. Black Beauty, he's a dark horse. ... | | | You can't come in without a Thai 2 :) | Feb 9, 2012 |
Paul Dixon wrote: "You can't come in without a Thai." A man is crawling through the Sahara desert when he is approached by another man riding on a camel. As the rider approaches, the crawling man whispers through his parched lips, "Water ... please ... can you give ... water ..." "I'm sorry," replies the man on the camel, "I don't have any water with me. But I'd be delighted to sell you a necktie." "Necktie?" whispers the man. "I need water!" "They're only four dollars apiece." "I need water." "Okay, okay, two for seven dollars." "Please! I need water!" the man exclaims. "I don't have any water, all I have are ties," replies the salesman, as he heads off into the distance. By now the man has lost all track of time, crawling through the desert seemingly for days. Finally, nearly dead, with clothes tattered and skin peeling under the relentless sun, he comes upon a restaurant. Summoning his last bit of strength, he staggers to the door and confronts the head waiter. "Water ... can I get ... water," the dying man pleads. "I'm sorry, sir. Our dress code requires a tie" replies the waiter. | | | P.L.F. Persio Netherlands Local time: 09:50 Member (2010) English to Italian + ... Bob Monkhouse | Feb 9, 2012 |

...evolved the Bob Monkhouse joke: In the sixth form we got careers advice. When asked what I wanted to be, I said: "A careers guidance counselor." The careers guidance counselor sneered at me, and said, "Comedian, eh!" | | |

Not bad. Here's a better one: A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down and orders a sandwich. After he finishes eating the sandwich, the panda pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter, and then stands up to go. "Hey!" shouts the manager. "Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn't pay for your sandwich!" The panda yells back at the manager, "Hey man, I am a PANDA! Look it up!" The manager opens his dictionary and sees the following definitio... See more Not bad. Here's a better one: A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down and orders a sandwich.
