What I miss from my childhood...

I was talking wih the wife about how you never see lolly sticks with jokes on anymore. I think it's a good marketing gimick and certainly helped me choose certain brands as a kid. However, my wife claims she once saw one that said...

Q: "What do you call a gay chemist?"
A: "Puff in Boots"

Can that really be true? No wonder they've stopped doing them. It does remind me off the worst motto in Christmas cracker...

"In what year did Nazi Germany anexe Austria?"
"I don't know. What year did Nazi Germany anexe Austria?"
"1938"

...didn't make me laugh either.

It wasn't supposed to - they did sort of quiz/trivial pursuit questions as well.

I think they should combine the Kinder Surprise Eggs and lollipop jokes, by having a toy as the stick. Imagine sucking on a Matchbox car or licking a Ken (& Barbie) doll?

Playing with other kids.

Intentional or not

''Bitty''...

too far?

Licking a Barbie Doll is not the same as the real thing.

I miss being a member of comic fan clubs. I was in:

Dennis The Menace Fan Club.
Bazooka Joe Fan Club.
Desperate Dan's Pie-Eating Club.

What's the real thing? Having sex with it?

The 'real thing' is Coke. Some of that whilst shagging a Barbie Doll is like having sex with Nicole Kidman - so I've heard!

Not having to worry about things past a lack of Pokemon cards.

I miss Tom toms. They were like mini kievs but with ketchup. I also miss the meals at my old primary school. They were really good for school food.

But I still live in my childhood so that's about it!

I knew it was a question not a joke, obviously.

This was about 5 years ago - it was the first time I'd seen a cracker without a joke. They were deluxe crackers, mind. Too high class for me.

My happiness.

Did you get them at a Nuremburg benefit gig?

I miss the innocence of my childhood. Such as the day when my mate told me how his brother had "fingered" a girl, and I hadn't a clue what he was talking about. Oh to return...
