My wife is going to a fancy dress party as Bob Marley and has asked me to do her hair.

I'm dreading it...

I saw a quote from somebody who's a regualar fixture there (unsuprisngly, I've never heard of him)

He said something along the lines of, "if the audience are laughing, we're doing it wrong"

What a snobbish, twattish comment

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Try these, from a guy we met on holiday....

(all 3 to be said in comically strong accents to get the best effect)

What do you call some cheese that isn't yours?
- Nacho cheese (Mexican accent)

What do Mexican's put beneath their carpets?
- Underlay, underlay (Mexican accent)

I went to Jamaica once and saw someone with a can of red stripe in between 2 slices of bread
- it was a bacon ("beer-can") sandwich (Jamaican accent)


....I'm here all night.....

I secretly swapped all the chocolate bars and wrappers in our fridge yesterday.

Mrs Enoch didn't find it funny though, she got her Snickers in a Twix.

Saw a grammar Nazi being beaten up and when I went over to comfort him, all I could think of to say was "There, their, they're."
