The joke was:<br /><br />I went to see the nurse this afternoon about my blood pressure. <br />She said.&quot;Mr Smith,you will have to stop wanking&quot;! &quot;Oh&quot; I said,&quot;why is that?<br />She said &quot;Im trying to examine you&quot;.<br /><br />But honestly, I feel a little queasy sending my feminised version to you. So I cut that, and the riffing around it. The joke has a good idea in it tho&#39;.<br /><br />Young scientists are really excited about the Olympics coming to London, as it’s a chance to test the theory that if you run fast enough, you won’t get wet in the rain. Kayak manufacturers are gearing up for the marathon. Negotiations have already started between the Beach Volley Ball Association, and the Dog Walkers Alliance. Dogs are of course banned from nudist beaches - so there seems a happy synergy there with the future of the sport.<br /><br />There has been pressure to include cheese-rolling as an Olympic event as homage to the 2012 host country, but it’s being resisted on the grounds that it’s really the amateur version of the professional sport of downhill freestyle lunacy. <br /><br />Dressage is to be expanded to include junior riders with ponies, and is going to be called “Prancing”. There will be a handicap system, with first-round byes being given to anyone called “Felicity”. Dressage was invented when a security camera happened to catch Shergar trying to tiptoe back in to his stables. It’s incredibly difficult to train horses for the top level of this sport, because most horses are, by nature, not gay (camp??). And of course, those that are, are already booked up for panto.<br /><br />The old pickup line about making beautiful music together is just nonsense, our sexuality is so different. For the woman, it’s kind of symphonic, and for the man, like that annoying little doo doo doo di doo from Directline adverts. That’s if and when he prefers accompaniment rather than playing in his own one man band. We really move to the beat of different drums. Petrol drums for the men, African drums for the women. Allegedly.<br /><br />Why does the dentist have the radio playing? I wouldn’t mind if it was just music, but just after he injected the local anaesthetic, there was Womans Hour debate about AIDS spreading through shared needles. So I made the obvious highly humourous quip, asking him if he used clean needles, and the drilling seemed to get a little more intense afterwards. He was gritting his teeth more than the council grits main roads. And grinding them more than a pole dancer.<br /><br />My doctor said I was drinking too much - but she always says that when it’s her roundFred Trellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06058958571094830467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32584425.post-39696506532318998002009-06-09T19:36:45.306+01:002009-06-09T19:36:45.306+01:00Oh, please do!!<br /><br />Can I then add a first credit to my CV?<br /><br />&quot;Has written for a recognised comedian&quot;?<br /><br />I have to start somewhere, sometime, no?<br /><br />At the moment, I am at the &quot;still waitressing, but I got this idea when I was too drunk, and don&#39;t know where to go from here&quot; stage.<br /><br />Or do I need to give you one entire joke (rather than just amateurishly re-wording your very workable idea) to earn an anonymous mention on my CV?<br /><br />Best regards, F.Fred Trellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06058958571094830467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32584425.post-63272921269310300782009-06-09T11:46:12.490+01:002009-06-09T11:46:12.490+01:00I like that &#39;man, woman, catholic priest&#39; re-write.

That&#39;s a great idea, might work with a reformulation.<br /><br />I went to my first gay wedding. Well, it was a man and women, but at least the priest was Catholic. <br />..or...<br />but at least the priest had recently been transferred to this parish<br />..or..<br />at least the alter boys looked worriedFred Trellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06058958571094830467noreply@blogger.com
