Trick or treat
October 31, 2006 – 11:57 pm | by Benjamin WattAs today is Halloween, the usual procession of small children through to teenagers who should know better, came a knocking.
If you told a joke or two, you stood a chance of getting something for your efforts. If you pranced about like an idiot, not so much.
My favourite jokes of the evening are:
Why did the skeleton burp?
Because he didn’t have the guts to fart.
What do you call a spider with no legs?
A raisin.
And finally, the best of the night (and better than any joke I’ve ever heard a small child tell before now) is:
What’s the difference between a digger and a Giraffe?
One has hydraulics and the other has high bollocks.
I kid you not. I don’t know whether to laugh, or shake my head at the words today’s youth are allowed to use (particularly when their mother is standing right beside them as they say it).
