Somewhere there's a Daily Mail-reading old lady who's seething that she's not got you as a grandson, to quote in her letter to their "Out Of The Mouths Of Babes" column.

I thought cars were powered by their exhaust pipes - like a jet
My father told me a joke when I was 10 and although I laughed, I didn't get it until I was 19.
'once Apollo time' had me in stitches 
I used to think that the line in Rolf Harris' Two Little Boys that went: 'one little chap then had a mishap', was actually 'one little chaplain had am his hap'.
