1st - Larry Brash with:
Two hunters are out in the woods in New Jersey when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.
The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?"
The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"
=
New research into the psychology of humour has happened to show us that the joke, once assessed as the world's funniest, was created by the zany comedian, Spike Milligan, and was used in the 1951 Goons Show.
The sketch (replayed here, now somehow set in the USA), which in its heyday starred the legendary actor Peter Sellers and Michael Bentine, has, I hope, remained one of the best gags ever.
LONG CATEGORY, November 2006:
1st - Larry Brash with:
George W. Bush meets with Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II of England.
He asks her,
"Your Majesty, how is it that you run such a very efficient slick government? Are there any clues to this that you can offer me?"
"Well," says the Queen,
"Above all, the most important thing is to do this: surround yourself with very intelligent efficient people."
Bush looks concerned.
"So, how could I know the people around me are so clever and intelligent?"
The Queen takes a little sip from her cup of tea.
"Oh, this is very simple. Let me explain it. You simply ask them to answer an intelligence test. Do listen to this".
The Queen pushes a button on her intercom.
"Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
Tony Blair walks into the room. "Yes, Your Majesty?"
The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Tony.
Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, "Of course, that would be me."
"Yes! Very good, well done." says the Queen.
=
At the White House, Bush talks with Vice President Cheney.
"Answer this one for me, deputy. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother, not your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not quite sure, Mr President," says the Vice President. "Just let me make some enquiries for you about that one."
Cheney goes to his many polite youthful underlings to enquire of all twenty of them, but none are able to give him an intelligent answer.
Finally, a week later, he goes in a men's room and recognizes Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall.
Cheney yells out, "Would you please answer something for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Powell yells back , "That's funny! Quite simple: It's me!"
Cheney replies."Gee, great work, pal!"
In the Oval Office he talks with Bush.
"Okay, I've done you some research and here's the eloquent answer to the question. It's my judgement that it is Colin Powell."
Bush gets up, stomps over, and yells into his face,
"No! It's Tony Blair!"

Hark, the Herald Tribune sings,
Advertising wondrous things.

Tell us to go out and buy!
=
Tom Lehrer made us swoon,
Rearranging a Christmas tune.
He beheld the haughty greed,
What they buy, I do not need.
Lying market survey ploys,
Alas, kindhearted giving us toys.
