This Bloke
So anyway where was I? Ah yes, Wednesday of last week I was out shopping for groceries. I was in our local supermarket, waiting at the checkout and this bloke who I used to know was behind me in the queue. We started talking and passing pleasantries while waiting and he says to me that he's got this great joke, not wanting to seem stand-offish I says to him okay then let's hear it. So off he goes;
A Freeway goes into a bar and orders a large scotch and stands there, nervously, as the bartender pours him his drink. Seconds later he's finished and orders another, the bartender thinks nothing of it and while he's pouring out the drink a strip of Tarmac walks in.
The Freeway dives behind the bar and hides. The bartender asks him if he's okay, the Freeway says "Shh, that guys a Cyclepath".
I laugh politely, and turn to see that the queue has still not shortened. My talkative friend has not finished however and taps me on the shoulder. He tells me he's heard an even better joke, so again I do my best to look interested and tell him to go ahead. He starts;
How did Darth Vader know what Luke Skywalker had bought him for Christmas? I shrug.
"He felt his presents"
I force a laugh and tell him he's just so funny, but he hasn't finished with me yet.....
"How many ears has Mister Spock got?" I reply that as far as I'm aware he has two! But I'm wrong;
"Three ears! His left ear, his right ear, and his final front ear".
I leave my basket and hurry home.
