Scottish dementia charity wants jokes

http://www.sdwg.org.uk/your-jokes-wanted/

Ok so there's no money but it looks like a good way of getting one's name out there.

And let's keep the dodgy jokes under control.

It sounds like a really great thing to do, and alot of pleasure could come from doing it.

I'm sitting here and literally cannot think of any nice gags I have...

Cheers Soots. I sent a few.

Thanks Sootyj, I've some too. Let's get them lovely demented folk laughing.

I was going to do this, but forgot.....

Are they saying they want jokes about dementia or they want ANY kind of jokes for people with dementia?

I couldn't work it out either.

I think they just want jokes, I'd be thinking Reader's Digest stylee ones.

Probably not to many on being raped by care staff though, no one ever wants those.

ahhh ok. (deletes his latest care staff rape joke)

Is it the care staff bit that's a problem, because they also work with Uncle?

I can't see anywhere where it says joke writers get credited.

I would email them, but they might say "I'm sure I put it somewhere."

it's not really a writing opp is it. More a sort of a humourous pile-on for charity.

Forget it!

Sorry, awful pun - just as well I'm working on other things...
