Thanks for an amazing response tonight and well done to Bob McWilliams for 'deck of cards' as a theme. Jim in Nairn has also been working on a similar theme while he was on holiday so imagine his frustration at getting back off his hols tonight and realising he'd been beaten to it. Still he did send me this rather good joke. Enjoy...
Struggling 60s vocalist has been fixed up by his agent to do a Summer season tour of Fife taking in all the wee social clubs, bowlin clubs and so on. His claim is that he can sing any TOP TEN HIT from the sixties.And to prove it offers 拢100 to anyone who can catch him out.
Pretty Woman... no problem
House of the rising sun . . no problem
And so the evening goes on and the natives become more inspired. A worker of the fields asks for Farmer Jack.Not a top ten hit sez the vocalist. Do you not mean Grocer Jack which is actually called Excerpt from a teenage opera.
Said worker continues to heckle the performer until eventually the farmer is challenged to come up on stage and perform Farmer Jack with the 拢100 still on offer.
The local worthy gets up on stage to rousing encouragement from the packed hall. not a sound can be heard as he steps up to the mic and lets rip . .
"FARMER JACK TO A KING, DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA, FROM LONELINESS TO A WEDDING RING!!"
