How often have you told your best joke, only to be told by the listener that YOU were too quick? Before scrolling on to the jokes, here's a little exorcise to focus the concentration.
Classic Tommy Cooper One Liners!
Two cannibals were eating a clown. One says to the other "Does this taste funny to you?"
Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.
A blind bloke walks into a shop with a guide dog. He picks the Dog up and starts swinging it around his head. Alarmed, a shop assistant calls out: 'Can I help, sir?' 'No thanks,' says the blind bloke. 'Just looking.'
"Cos it's strange, isn't it. You stand in the middle of a library and go aaagghhh' and everyone just stares at you.But you do the same thing on an aeroplane, and everyone joins in.
"He said 'I'm going to chop off the bottom of one of your trouser legs and put it in a library.'I thought 'That's a turn-up for the books."
"And the back of his anorak was leaping up and down, and people were chucking money to him. I said 'Do you earn a living doing that?' He said 'Yes, this my livelihood.'
"So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me "Can you give me a lift?" I said "Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.'"
Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other "your round." The other one says "so are you, you fat bastard"
"You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine.' So that was nice."
I went to Millets and said 'I want to buy a tent.'
He said 'To camp?',
I said (butchly) 'Sorry, I want to buy a tent.' I said 'I also want to buy a caravan.'
He said 'Camper?'
I said (campily) 'Make your mind up.'
So I went to the dentist. He said "Say Aaah." I said "Why?" He said "My dog's died.'"
"Now, most dentist's chairs go up and down, don't they?
The one I was in went back and forwards. I thought 'This is unusual'.
And the dentist said to me 'Mr Cooper, get out of the filing cabinet."
"So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please?' And a voice said 'You are.'"
"So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said 'Is that the local swimming baths?' He said 'It depends where you're calling from.'"
"So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.'
"Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin."
"So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. And then he rang up a second time and said "You've been promoted again.' And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I went into a tree. And a policeman came up and said 'What happened to you?' And I Said 'I careered off the road.'

The Virus Definitions
Since the worldwide strike of the "ILOVEYOUVIRUS", reports are
already coming in that the virus is mutating into several stages. Within
the next few weeks, expect to see:
The original "I love you" virus
The "I like you a lot" virus
The "You're nice, but I just want to be friends" virus
The "It's not you, it's me" virus
The "Look, it was just a date ... don't get clingy" virus
The "Okay, I think it's best if we don't have anymore contact" virus
The "It was late, I was drunk, you were easy" virus
The "Stop calling me, you unfeeling prick" virus
and finally, the "That's it, I hate you and your stupid dog" virus
Plus:
The "No, I Ruullllyyyy Like You" Virus ... usually hits around midnight
The "You're Beawfullll ....." virus ... usually hits about 2.00am
The "Nothing has to happen. I just want to wake up with you in my arms"
virus ...
careful, it's a sly one.
The "You're OK, but I was wondering if your friend is single" virus
The "Of course I'll phone you ... Now do you want me to call a cab for you?"
... hmmm, that'll hit anytime between 3.00am and noon!
Work Virus:
There is a new virus going around, called "work". If you receive any sort of
"work" at all, whether via email, internet or simply handed to you by a
colleague ... DO NOT OPEN IT!!
Work has been circulating around our building for months and those who have
been tempted to open "work" or even look at "work" have found that their
social life is deleted and their brain ceases to function properly.
If you do encounter "work" via email or are faced with any "work" at all,
then to purge the virus, send an email to your boss with the words
"Sorry...I'm off to the pub". The "work" should then be automatically
deleted from your brain. If you receive "work" in paper-document form,
simply lift the document and drag the "work" to your rubbish bin. Put on
your coat and skip to the nearest bar with two friends and order three pints
of beer. After repeating this action 14 times, you will find that "work"
will no longer be of any relevance to you.
Send this message to everyone in your address book. If you do not have
anyone in your address book, then I'm afraid the "work" virus has already
corrupted your life.

Top 10 reasons why e-mail is like a penis...
10. Those who have it would be devastated if it was ever cut off.
9. Those who have it think that those who don't are somehow inferior.
8. Those who don't have it may agree that it's neat, but think it's not worth the fuss that those who have it make about it.
7. Many of those who don't have it would like to try it, a phenomenon psychologists call "E-mail Envy,"
6. It's more fun when it's up, but this makes it hard to get any real work done.
5. In the distant past, its only purpose was to transmit information vital to the survival of the species. Some people still think that's the only thing it should be used for, but most folks today use it mostly for fun.
4. If you don't take proper precautions, it can spread viruses.
3. We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its actual size and influence warrant.
2. If you're not careful what you do with it, it can get you into a lot of trouble.
And the number one reason Why E-mail is Like a penis .....
1. If you play with it too much, you'll go blind!
