The First Thing That Made You Laugh Today

Okay, here's a nice uplifting thread. What was the first thing that made you laugh today? Or chuckle, or titter. A smile is not allowed, it has to be an audible response to something that tickled you.

I'll kick off - I just checked my Facebook page and a friend Griff Phillips had posted the following:
I am f**king furious that having forked out big money for a ticket to see Rowan Atkinson playing Fagin, the night I'm going they've got that useless prick Russ Abbot instead. Anyone want a ticket?"

That made me laugh.

Over to you!

Numerous lines in Carry On At Your Convenience.

Watching a bit of House Of Elliot on 'Yesterday' channel. Kept remembering bits from the French and Saunders version and laughing.

(It was funny, honest!)

At the risk of sounding sycophantic - Lee's Henmanicus post earlier. Still getting over that.

This story in the Daily Mail about a 'bonkers baronet' looking for someone to bear him an heir (via a turkey baster). It has some wonderful quotes that sum up the English pysche.

Going by his criteria he might get an applicant via a Daily Mail interview.

A sketch in critique. ;)

The House of Idiot. With the same penny farthing going up and down the road.

Exactly the bit!

And she used one of those old telephones, which in the House of Idiot, they talked into the wrong bit of. Hee.

I'm a simple soul...

It was something on Fighting Talk. Several things in fact.

Jonathon Ross. Always gets my Saturday off to a good start.

If only I had a womb.

No.
