Monologue for Shark Radio. Page 2

Have to say when I was at uni and spent wedge on a few ales could just about manage a cheeseburger with onions from a van outside my halls of residence. Happy memories of those burgers.

We didn't have halls of residence, we lived in a cardboard box int' air raid shelter.

Thanks gappy. I am old and you are young, our idea of what's funny is bound to be at different. Which do you think is funnier; What is bright red and smells of talcum powder---A baby with a razor blade.
Or--Man falls down, Passing woman says, You've fallen down then--No the man replies, I'm trying to break a bar of chocolate in my back pocket.

I'm not really young. I have nor youth nor age, but as it were an after dinner sleep, dreaming of both (I'm 38).

I find the second of your examples funnier - please adjust my age accordingly, because I'm not certain what that is supposed ot imply.

The first 'joke' was used in the TV sitcom The Young Ones.
The second, which looks as flat as a pancake on paper, but hilarious when delivered by a master of monologue--Chic Murray. Have you heard of him?

What was so stylish about him?
