I'm glad you liked them SootyJ
I agree that they were very funny & If you go on my website you can see the outtatkes from these jokes

Steve, you have no idea how much pain I am in after reading this:

10) How many countdown contestants does it take to change a BLGLHIUBT?

I am currently laid up with a sciatic nerve pull thingy which has affected my lower back and leg. I suffer immense pain if I cough, sneeze or laugh heavily. Or in fact if I move. I have just had to top up my medication after reading that joke. You git! :)

Some good ones in there, although some only work written down and most would have to be modified in some way if you wanted to use them for stand up (generally, question and answer jokes are too old fashioned to work live, hence why they've morphed into the one-liner).

Other than that good stuff although 13) is very much like a Tim Vine joke and 18) was a staple of every sketch show/sitcom court scene in the 70s (and possibly even before that).

Very good and very diverse, you think funny and that is the vital component.

Loved the countdown gag Steve.

21) and 23) work best for me. 3) is also good, but I would amend so the laugh comes at the end of the line i.e.: But as far as I'm concerned that's all Bridge under the water .

Most of these are great, Steve, but the Countdown one in particular is genius. The 24 one is my other favourite.

Top work.

Some absolute corkers, but as I am failing to learn better to sort the wheat from the chaff.

6,12 and 18 especially.

I Liked them.

Very nice Countdown gag. :D Send it in to Countdown, they like laughing (and tea).

:D I liked them all, but 2 favourites - The "Countdown" one and the
"No flyers".
