Lenny went on vacation and asked Bobby to watch over his house. About a week later, Lenny calls home and asked "How's my cat?".

Bobby hesitated and sadly told Lenny his cat died.

"What?! You shouldn't have told the news to me like that! You should have done it slowly. The first time I called, you should have told me he was on the roof. The second time I called, you should have said there was no way to get him down. The third time I called, you should have told me that you tried to get her off the roof, but she fell down and died," explained Lenny.

Bobby apologized and went about his day.

About a week later, Lenny called again and asked "How's my Granny?".

There was a long silence and then Bobby replied. "Well, she's on the roof." grin

Man in restaurant, peering at soup plate: "Waiter, what is this?"
Waiter: "It's bean soup, sir".
Man: "I can see it's been soup - what is it now!"

Okay, I'll do better next time (if I can think of any clean ones!)

My 6 year old DGD loves trying to make up jokes which are usually a bit rubbish but she came up with quite an amusing one (if not a little naughty!!) for a child of her age. Her Mummy had just given her some Edam cheese and she said to her Mummy. " Mummy I have a joke for you. What do you say if you drop some Edam cheese on the floor?"
Answer - Eeee damn!!

Family a bit low today, so son told the following joke to cheer things up.

Q. What do you call a donkey with three legs?
A. A wonky! grin

OK, it's not the funniest joke in the world, but it did elicit some rather manic laughter from me and then led into a great teasing session about Gransnet when I said a 'joke' thread would be quite nice. (Visit the quiet corner to see what my menfolk said about jangly.)
