Tony: I meant the postman is doing your girlfriend. But saying it in a way that implies you don't know. Until you say "I leave for work at 9" to break the tension.

He'd obviously have to work on the words to make it work!

That's the trouble with postman jokes, it's all in the delivery.

Ah but you always get to put your own stamp on them

Oh it's in the delivery. I love jokes that everyone in the room doesn't get at once. Think of Milton Jones saying "Some people like cats, some people don't. I've heard the pope is a cat - holic..." (Pause. half the room laughs) Then he adds: "...that's Catholic", and the rest of the room laughs.

I'm fed up of 'stamp' jokes - you can stick 'em!

Though for them to really work you need special delivery

Though of the audience isn't into it they won't get it

I like jokes about stamps. Some of them are first class.

Try an impersonation of a dirty zoo keeper. maybe he makes his living flying to zoos around the world impregnating pandas.
