" We hear that he comes over the PA really well.. " Is that a microphone in your hand, or are you just happy to be here?

The International Football Association, have announced that David Beckham's voice is to be used for all stadium announcements during the current tournament. A spokesman said, " We hear that he comes over the PA really well.. " I hope the non english members get this. David & bloody Posh Spice Beckham are the source of much gossip and speculation in this Country. It seems that some people are obsessed by them. News of David's alleged affair with his personal assistant, Rebecca Loos, dominated our tabloids for over a week. In the light of Sven's original premise for this forum subject, I have been thinking this afternoon about what makes this gag funny. I don't think actually that it stands up to much analysis - it's just a word play trick at it's most basic. It is however topical. and deals with the discomfiture of celebrities and the subsequent demeaning of their perceived status. I don't know about American or other European media, but our own (foreign owned) media seem to take great delight in building up individual celebrity status and then knocking it down again. An unpleasant envy trait perhaps?

Tasteless, but it made me laugh, and a perfect demonstration of how humour can help us deal with a truly appalling problem that sadly appears to have no likely solution at this particular time.
Two female terrorists are walking down the Gaza strip. One turns to the other and says "Does my bomb look big in this?"
Black humour is frequently the most topical of all humour..

When he's in a particularly good mood, my Father jumps into rooms saying - " So I said to this bird, are you game? She said yes so I shot her..Much as I love him, he's a man with no shame

Apparently the Queen has already organised her present for the up-coming marriage of Prince Charles & Camilla Ice..
The happy couple may look forward to a weekend in Paris, with dinner at the Ritz and a chauffeur driven limo ride home afterwards..

The C.E.O of a bank was playing golf, and hit a golf ball into somebody's back garden. He went around to the front door of the house and asked the man who answered the door if he could have his golf ball back. The man said 'it's my golf ball now, it's on my property.' The C.E.O paused for a moment. 'Is that so?' he said. 'Do you by any chance have a mortgage on this house?' The man nodded in bewilderment. 'And which bank would you have that mortgage with?' The man named the bank managed by the C.E.O. 'Ah,' said the C.E.O. 'In that case, one of our representatives will be over in 15 minutes to repossess your house.'
The original version of this joke involved a fistfight instead of a house repossession. I felt bound to rewrite the joke for the more intellectual among us. My question to you is this: why is it that some people find violence funny? I don't and never have.
