So this bloke just stopped me in the street and asked me why I was carrying a 9ft book?
I said: "Oh don’t ask, It's a long story".

A man was out in his back garden and saw the neighbour’s young daughter digging.
He looked over and saw that she was just filling in a large hole. Man: What are you up to young lady? Girl: My budgie died and I am burying him. Man: Oh dear sorry to hear that, but that is a big hole for a small bird. Girl: Yes, I know but it’s in your ***** cat.

Took me a minute to see the joke, but I got there in the end.

My smarty pants mate was late for work yesterday and got stopped by a traffic cop.
He said “You were going a bit fast sir, what would have happened if you had suddenly come across Mister Fog” My mate smugly said “I would have trod on Mister Brake of course” The cop said “I will repeat the question slowly sir, what would have happened if you had suddenly come across Mist or Fog”

Rye Bread
Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on a park bench one morning. The 87-year-old had just finished his morning jog and wasn’t even short of breath. The 80-year-old was amazed at the guy’s stamina and asked him what he did to have so much energy. The 87-year-old said, "Well, I eat rye bread every day. It keeps your energy level high and you’ll have great stamina with the ladies." So, on the way home the 80-year-old stopped at the bakery. As he was looking around, the saleslady asked if he needed any help. He said, “Do you have any rye bread?" She said, “Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?” He said, "I want five loaves." She said, "My goodness, five loaves! By the time you get to the 3rd loaf, it’ll be hard." He replied, "I can't believe everybody knows about this shit but me."

One Liners
Don't be worried about your smartphone or TV spying on you. Your vacuum cleaner has been collecting dirt on you for years.
If you can't think of a word, say, I forgot the English word for it. That way people will think you're bilingual instead of an idiot. I'm at a place in my life where errands are starting to count as going out. I'm getting tired of being part of a major historical event. I don't always go the extra mile, but when I do, it's because I missed my exit. My goal for 2021 was to lose 10 pounds. Only have 14 to go. Ate salad for dinner. Mostly croutons and tomatoes. Really just one big round crouton covered with tomato sauce and cheese. FINE, it was a pizza.... OK, I ate a pizza! Are you happy now? I just did a week's worth of cardio after walking into a spider web. I don't mean to brag, but I finished my 14-day diet food supply in 3 hours and 20 minutes. A recent study has found women who carry a little extra weight live longer than men who mention it. Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel. Senility has been a smooth transition for me. Remember back when we were kids and every time it was below freezing outside they closed school? Yeah, me neither. I may not be that funny or athletic or good looking or smart or talented. I forgot where I was going with this. I love being in my 70's, I learn something new every day and forget 5 other things. A thief broke into my house last night. He started searching for money so I got up and searched with him. I think I'll just put an "Out of Order" sticker on my forehead and call it a day. Just remember, once you're over the hill, you begin to pick up speed. Having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave the house. It's weird being the same age as old people. When I was a kid I wanted to be older . . this is not what I expected. Life is like a helicopter. I don't know how to operate a helicopter. It's probably my age that tricks people into thinking I'm an adult. Marriage Counsellor: Your wife says you never buy her flowers. Is that true? Me: To be honest, I never knew she sold flowers. Never sing in the shower! Singing leads to dancing, dancing leads to slipping, and slipping leads to paramedics seeing you naked. So remember. . . . Don't sing! I see people about my age mountain climbing; I feel good getting my leg through my underwear without losing my balance. So if a cow doesn't produce milk, is it an udder failure? You don't realize how old you are until you sit on the floor and then try to get back up. We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Trouble is with some of those Ron is they're not so much a joke as a definite fact ....

I have to agree, Bob!
I went in the senior citizens queue in the supermarket, no one in it! Almost as good as having my knee operated, being on crutches and able to use the disabled parking spaces! Yes, it has crept up on me - but I am going down, fighting! Rgds. Dave

Oh, joy! So I should look forward to a supermarket queue should I survive the replacement?
Better make it Fortnum's then (should I be able to afford that afterwards - I procrastinated putting myself on the list, as offered, before Covid and now the queue is so long that the NHS would have the ease of doing mine as a skeleton were I not to bite the private bullet).

If no one pays taxes and half the population marry their cousin who is going to fund an NHS? (Denial indicates a guilty conscience).

The NHS is only free to those who are net non tax payers, to all others it is prepaid and heftily so.
I agree that the sector that contributes less to HM's local treasury will likely include, amongst others, those that canoodle consanguineously. I think most, however, are less Hibernian in their folk customs. (My BUPA is, I admit, free of insurance premium tax. An iniquity of HM's more distant treasury of which we remain free).

David Niven was James Bond in 'Casino Royale.' As I remember it that was the first Bond book. Saltzman and Broccoli didn't have the rights to that book so it was made as a very 'sixties' send up.
Curiously when they rebooted the Bond films with Daniel Craig they started with 'Casino Royale' and within reason followed the book fairly faithfully and made a good job of it. The send up version (1967) had a remarkable cast but for me it wasn't very funny. If only they'd hung on for a few years and let the Monty Python team have a go at it.
