Three little bairns were walking home from their primary school | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
in Jarrow. They'd just had a nature lesson and on the pavement in front | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
of them, lo and behold, there was a dead spuggie. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
So they thought, right, we'd better do something about this | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
so they dug this hole to put the dead spuggie into. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Then they says, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
"Listen, I've seen this sort of thing on television. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
"Shouldn't we say something nice over the dead bird?" | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
And so they pondered and said, "Hey, Jenny, your father is a vicar. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:43 | |
"Do you know anything clever?" | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
She says, "Oh, there's only one thing I know | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
"and it goes something like this - In the name of the Father, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
"in the name of the Son and into the hole he goes." | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
That was the quickie to warm me up. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
There were two priests who decided they'd go on holiday together | 0:00:57 | 0:01:03 | |
and so they decided they'd go to the Costa Del Sol. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
They got on their flight and they arrived at the other end | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
and they saw everybody was dressed in holiday clothes. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
They said, "We'll stand out like a sore thumb. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
"Let's go into a department store and buy ourselves some holiday clothes." | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
So they went in, they got a nice open-necked shirt | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
and a light-coloured pair of trousers and off they went. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
Next day, they lounged on the beach in those loungers, you know. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
And along the beach, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
after a little while came the most gorgeous blonde, topless, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:40 | |
breasts swinging gently as she sauntered up the beach, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
and blonde hair. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
She stopped right at the end of these two loungers and said, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
"Good morning, Father, and good morning, Father." | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Well, the two priests were gobsmacked. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
She went off down the beach. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
"We can't possibly be dressed right. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
"She must have recognised that we are ordained. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
"We'll go back to that shop and get something a little more informal." | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
So they came out, Bermuda shorts, highly-coloured floral T-shirt | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
and a sun hat with a floppy brim. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
Next day, lounging on the beach, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
the same girl came walking up the beach, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
stopped right at the end of these loungers and said, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
"Good morning, Father. Good morning, Father." | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
They absolutely couldn't believe it. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
They said to her, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
"How do you know that we're ordained and that we're priests?" | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
She said, "Don't you recognise me, Father? It's Sister Mary Jane." | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
This woman is pregnant and she's off to hospital to have the baby | 0:02:48 | 0:02:53 | |
but unfortunately, on the way there, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
she's involved in a traffic incident and goes into a coma. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
It's very sad, but anyway, she didn't wake up | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
until six months later when both the children had been born. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
When she woke, she was told that she had got twins, in fact. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
She said, "Oh, I'd better name them then." | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
And the surgeon says, "No, you don't have to name them | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
"because your brother has already given them a name." | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
"Oh no," she said, "My brother's a total idiot. What's he called them?" | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
He said, "Well, he's called the girl Denise." | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
"Well, she says, that's not bad. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
"It's a pretty sensible name for a girl. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
"So what's he called the boy?" | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
"Denephew". | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
There was this man. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
He was absolutely convinced that his wife was having an affair | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
and he noticed one morning, this went on for some time, | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
she was looking absolutely gorgeous | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
so he thought, right, I'm going to have you. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
So off he went to work. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
He said cheerio and he waited about half an hour | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
and then he stormed back into the house. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
"Where is he?" he said. "Where is he?" | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
"Who?" She said. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
"You know who I mean. That man you're having an affair with. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
"Where is he?" She said, "There's nobody here." | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
He tore around the house, he opened the cupboards, | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
he looked under the beds. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
He's getting madder and madder. "Where is he?" he said. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
And then he glanced out the kitchen window | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
and he saw this man hurrying away. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
He was furious. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:20 | |
He picked up the fridge, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
he opened the window and he threw the fridge out of the window. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
Next minute, he had a heart attack, dropped down dead. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
He's walking up the road to heaven. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
There's St Peter at the gate and St Peter said, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
"What happened to you?" | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
He said, "I was convinced my wife was having an affair | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
"and I was so angry. I saw this man rushing away from my house, | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
"I picked up the fridge, I threw it out and here I am." | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
He said, "I'm so sorry to hear that. Come into heaven." | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
Next minute, there's this guy coming up the road | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
and he's got a big hole in his head. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
"What happened to you?" | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
He said, "Well, I was just hurrying along the road to work | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
"and suddenly a fridge came flying through the air and here I am." | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
So he said, "Well, I'm so sorry to hear that. Come on in to heaven." | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
And the next minute up the road comes this guy walking like this. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
And he said, "What happened to you?" | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
And he said, "Well, I was in a fridge..." | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
"And here I am!" | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
This woman had a pair of parrots | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
and she didn't know which was the male and which was the female | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
and then her friend said, you know, | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
parrots always make love first thing in the morning, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
so when you whip the cover off of the cage you look at them | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
and see which one is looking tired and worn out and that's the male. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
So she did that and she whipped the cover off | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
and there was one that was obviously looking tired and worn out, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
so she said, that's the male obviously. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
So she thought, how can I remember that? | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
So she made a little white collar and stuck it round his neck | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
and that day, the vicar called and had tea | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
and the parrot looked at him and said, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
"You were caught at it as well, were you?" | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
I had a very wonderful spiritual monk | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
who used to travel the country barefoot and he was so wonderful, | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
but after miles and miles and years and years of hard walking, | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
his feet got really calloused and hard. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
Then he used to fast an awful lot and, unfortunately, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
he got a very thin and very weak but he continued to walk and he continued | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
to pray and bless everybody but he was really, really very thin. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
And then he had a very bad diet because of his fasting, | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
so his breath started to smell rather, so he became known as | 0:06:43 | 0:06:49 | |
super-callous fragile-mystic plagued-with-halitosis. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
I was visiting my friend in southern Wiltshire the other day where | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
I hail from and we were driving up the A303 with him. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
I hadn't seen him for a long time and we were going up the road | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
and suddenly I couldn't believe my eyes. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
There was a great big hoarding on the side of the road. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
It said, "Sex - St Mary's Convent, five miles." | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
I looked at it and thought, I'd better not say anything | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
but did I read that right? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Anyway, we drove on along the road | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
and suddenly there was another hoarding. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
"Sex - St Mary's Convent, two miles." | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
So I thought, I did, I read it right. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
Before we turned around and had any conversation at all, we were at | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
the next hoarding which said, "Sex - St Mary's Convent, turn right." | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
I said to him, "Have I read those notices correctly?" | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
Oh, yes, he said. That's right. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
A friend of mine from the golf club went in there one day to see | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
what it was all about. | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
"What happened?" | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
Well, he drove up. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:02 | |
There was a big car park, this lovely great big building, | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
and he went and he knocked | 0:08:05 | 0:08:06 | |
and rang the bell on a great big Gothic door | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
and it was opened by a very attractive young nun, she said, | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
"Good afternoon, sir. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
"I think I know why you're here. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
"Would you like to follow me?" | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
So he went in and they went up some stairs, along a corridor, | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
they turned left, down winding through another corridor | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
and round and suddenly they came to another great big door with | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
a second nun holding a big silver plate. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
And the first one said to my friend, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
"If you'd like to put £100 on the plate, sir, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
"you can then go through this door and the world is yours." | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
So, he fumbled, put £100 on the plate, | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
the door opened and he went out and it shut behind him. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
He was back in the car park. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
And there was a great big notice next to him which said, | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
"You've just been screwed by the sisters of St Mary's Convent." | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
I went to visit this farmer the other day | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
and, as I drove up to his farmhouse, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
I noticed that on the right-hand side of the track | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
there was a field of pigs. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
And, amazingly, I noticed that one of these pigs had a wooden leg, | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
so I said to the farmer when he answered the door, | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
"That's amazing. One of your pigs has got a wooden leg." | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
He said, "Oh, that pig is amazing. A fantastic pig." | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
I said, "What's the story?" | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
He said, "Well, I was driving home the other night | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
"and I'll admit I'd had one or two too many | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
"and, as I came up the track, my Land Rover left the road | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
"and it went down the hill, turned over into the pond. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
"And I was trapped inside. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
"And I couldn't get my seat belt undone, the water was rising, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
"I was about to drown, and that pig, he saw what had happened, | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
"he ran down the hill, he jumped over the fence, into the water, | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
"swam across to the Land Rover, under the water, opened the door, | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
"released to the seatbelt, and he saved my life." | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
I said, "Well, that's fantastic. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
"That's astonishing that a pig could do that | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
"but it still doesn't explain why he's got a wooden leg." | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
He said, "Well, a marvellous pig like that, | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
"you wouldn't want to eat it all at once, would you?" | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
Englishman, Scotsman and Irishman walk into a bar. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
The barman says, "Is this some sort of joke?" | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
So this visiting minister, | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
he was waxing eloquently in his final prayer and he said, | 0:10:41 | 0:10:47 | |
with his arms stretched to heaven, | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
"Lord, without you we are nothing... | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
..but dust." | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
And he was stopped in his tracks by a little girl in the front row | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
who said to her mum, loudly, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
"Mum, what's butt dust?" | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
There was a married couple, man and wife, who'd been arguing ever | 0:11:06 | 0:11:12 | |
since they got married, morning till night, day after day, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
always, always arguing. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
But somehow, they reached their golden wedding and the children | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
wondered what to give their parents as a golden wedding present. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
So in the end they decided to give them | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
a free consultation at a psychiatrist. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
And the couple continued arguing, arguing on the way to the | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
psychiatrist, arguing when they went into his consulting room. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
The psychiatrist was patient for a while and, | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
as he got up from his desk, he came round to the front and said, | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
"I'm going to do something I've never done before | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
"in all my professional life." | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
And he gives the wife a kiss on the lips | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
and he turns to the husband and says, | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
"Your wife needs this three times a week." | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
The husband says, "I'll bring her in Monday, Wednesday and Friday." | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
A notice outside a church in Liverpool said, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
"If you've done with sin, come on in." | 0:12:19 | 0:12:24 | |
Underneath, someone had written, | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
"If not, ring Tracey on 0501..." | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
An architect, who's really interested in buildings, | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
well, you'd have to be, but he loves churches | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
and so he decides he's going to write a book about churches. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
He thinks he'll start somewhere in Scotland, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
so he flies up to Inverness and begins by going into one of the | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
large churches there. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
He suddenly sees on the wall a gold telephone | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
with a sign that says, "£10,000 a minute." | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
So he thinks, this is very strange, so he goes in search of a clergyman | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
and eventually catches up with a guy and says, "Why the gold telephone? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:09 | |
"Why the sign, £10,000 a minute?" | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
He said, "Ah, well, that's a direct line to God." | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
"Oh, great," he said, and off he wanders and goes to another church. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
This time in Aberdeen. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
And in Aberdeen, sure enough on the walls, a gold telephone | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
with a sign, £10,000. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:27 | |
So he carries on going to different churches in Scotland and then | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
he ventures over the border, goes to Carlisle, then across the Newcastle | 0:13:32 | 0:13:38 | |
and in every cathedral and church he goes in he gets exactly the same. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |
He sees a gold phone on the wall with a sign, £10,000 a minute. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:50 | |
So then he goes down to York Minster. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
And in York Minster, there's the gold telephone on the wall | 0:13:54 | 0:13:59 | |
with a sign that says, 25p a minute. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
25p? So he finds a clergyman and says, | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
"Look, I've been to all these churches and every one I've gone in | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
"has a gold phone and it always says £10,000 a minute. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
"So, why, when I come here to York Minster, is it only 25p a minute?" | 0:14:16 | 0:14:22 | |
"Ah, well, son, tha's in Yorkshire now and it's a local call. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
One of the great disappointments in my life | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
is I missed out on having a midlife crisis. I went straight past it. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:39 | |
I wasn't aware because I was looking forward to this. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
A great midlife crisis, because if you have a midlife crisis, | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
I read this in a newspaper, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
it said normally you get a big blue motorbike | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
or you go off with a concubine. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
I thought I've always wanted a big blue motorbike, | 0:14:58 | 0:15:03 | |
one with the handlebars up here, you sit, cruise, one of them. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
So I says to my family, "I'm going to have a big blue motorbike." | 0:15:07 | 0:15:13 | |
And they laughed and hooted and said three things. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
One, you're too old. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
Two, you can't afford it. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
Three, you'll keep falling off. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
OK. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
I'm going to get me a concubine. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
So they laughed and they hooted and they said, one, you're too old. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
Two, you can't afford it | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
and three, you'll keep falling off. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:45 | 0:15:46 | |
So there's these two old ladies | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
and they're sitting waiting to go into the floral exhibition. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
They're watching all the flowers going into this big tent | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
and one says to the other, "God, I'm so bored. This is terrible. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
"For 20 quid I'd take off all my clothes and run into that tent." | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
"Right," says the other, "You're on. Here's £20." | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
So she takes off all her clothes and she streaks into this tent | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
and there's a great cheer and a great commotion and she comes out and says, | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
"Forget the £20, I got £100 for the best dried arrangement." | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
I heard a story of a vicar and he set down these rules that | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
if people wanted to join his church, couples wanted to join his church, | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
then they were to restrain from sex for two weeks. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
He had three couples who were waiting to join his church. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
There was a retired couple, middle-aged couple | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
and a newly-married couple. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
So he told them what they weren't allowed to do. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
Two weeks went by and the retired couple came in and the vicar said, | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
"How did you get on?" | 0:16:51 | 0:16:52 | |
"No problem at all," they said. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
"Welcome to my church," he said. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
And then to the middle-aged couple, "So, how did you get on?" | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
They said, "The first week, no problem at all. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
"The second week, I have to say it was a bit difficult. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
"I had to spend two or three nights down on the sofa." | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
"Welcome to my church," he said. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
And then to the newly-married couple, he said, | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
"Well, how did you get on?" | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
"Not very well at all" said the young man. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
He said, "First night was OK and then the next day | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
"my beautiful wife was bending to reach a tin of paint | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
"and I was just overcome with love | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
"and desire and passion | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
"and I'm afraid, you know, I failed. We failed." | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
He said, "I'm sorry, you're not welcome to our church." | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
And he said, "No, we're not welcome at the local DIY either." | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
There was a zealous police constable came to the parish | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
and she was booking everyone for the least thing. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
She was booking everyone. | 0:17:58 | 0:17:59 | |
The only one she couldn't catch was the minister, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
but she knew that the minister went about the parish on his bike. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
She knew he came along the road where there was a zebra crossing | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
and she thought, I'm going to have to get this minister, | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
so she hid behind the bushes at the zebra crossing one day, | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
knowing he came along at quite a pace and, true enough, | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
the minister came along on his bike | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
and just then the folks were about to cross the zebra crossing. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
The minister was going along and he just managed to stop | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
just before he got to the zebra crossing. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
The policewoman thought she had him then and she jumped out and said, | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
"I nearly had you there, minister." | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
And the minister says, "Oh, you'll never get me." | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
And she says, "Why not?" | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
And he says, "Well, because God is always with me." | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
And she says, "Right, you're booked. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
"Two on a bike." | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
Man gets home from work and comes into the kitchen, | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
picks up the post, and says to his wife, "Great news, great news!" | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
He says, "My Olympic condoms have arrived" | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
and he says, "I think I'll wear gold tonight." | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
And his wife says, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:12 | |
"No, wear silver and then you'll come second for a change." | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
The Roman Catholic priest was waxing lyrical about horseracing | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
and the Methodist minister said he'd never ever been to a horserace | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
in his life | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
because, of course, they're not allowed to gamble. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
The Roman Catholic priest said, | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
"Oh, come along, you should just experience it. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
"You don't actually have to bet on any horses." | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
So, in the end, the Methodist minister went that Saturday | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
and just before the first race he saw the Catholic priest | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
blessing a horse and it romped away and won the race by miles. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:59 | |
The second race, the same thing happened. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
The Catholic priest blessed this horse | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
and it shot away and romped off and it won the race by miles. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
So the Methodist minister's now getting really wound up, | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
because he thinks this is a sure winner here, but I'm not | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
allowed to gamble but, well, nobody is going to notice, are they? | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
No one will ever know. Go on! | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
So, next time he saw the priest blessing a horse, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
he quickly ran up to one of the bookies and put some money on it. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
The race started and the horse just fell down almost immediately | 0:20:29 | 0:20:34 | |
and collapsed. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
Well, the minister was really fed up about this | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
and he went up to the priest and said, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
"Look, you've blessed horses in the last two races and they romped away | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
"and won by miles and now I actually went and bet on this last one | 0:20:43 | 0:20:48 | |
"and it collapsed." | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
And the priest says, "That's the trouble with you Protestants. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
"You can't tell the difference between a blessing | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
"and the Last Rites." | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:20:57 | 0:20:58 | |
Mick was planning a visit to London | 0:21:00 | 0:21:05 | |
and he was telling his next-door neighbour, Mrs Dunn, all about it | 0:21:05 | 0:21:10 | |
and says, "It's the first time I've been to London for a long time." | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
And she said, "Oh, that's marvellous, Michael." | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
She said, "I wonder while you're over there | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
"whether you would mind looking up my son, Neely, | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
"because it's been five months since he moved over there | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
"and I haven't had the scrape of a pen from him." | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
And Michael said, "Well, Mrs Dunn, it's a big place, London. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
"You wouldn't happen to have an address for him?" | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
She said, "Well, no, I don't. I know that it was London, WC1." | 0:21:34 | 0:21:40 | |
And Mick says, "Well, I'll do my best, but it's a big place." | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
So he's going through the doors in Heathrow | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
and he looks ahead of him and he sees a sign and it says WC | 0:21:47 | 0:21:52 | |
and he thinks, "Ah, praise the saints, WC!" | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
And he goes straight through the doors and there's two cubicles. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
One on the left and one on the right, number one, number two. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
And he knocks on number one and a voice says, "Who is it?" | 0:22:01 | 0:22:06 | |
And Mick says, "Are you Neely Dunn?" | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
And the voice said, "Yes, but I can't find the paper." | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
And Mick says, | 0:22:17 | 0:22:18 | |
"Ah, that's a poor excuse for not writing to your poor old mother!" | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
Thank you. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:28 | |
There's a touring circus going around the little towns of Ireland | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
and, being good Catholics, all of them go for confession one night. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:39 | |
When the last one is done, the priest there stops to | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
talk to the last one and says, "What do you do?" | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
He said, "I'm an acrobat, Father." | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
"Get away," said the priest, | 0:22:48 | 0:22:49 | |
"I haven't seen a circus since I was that high. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
"You couldn't do a quick turn for me now, could you?" | 0:22:51 | 0:22:55 | |
"What, in church?" he says. "Go on," said the priest. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
"There's only me and Him watching and he won't mind, I promise you." | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
Well, there was a long aisle, so the acrobat went to the West door, | 0:23:01 | 0:23:06 | |
spat on his hands, took a run and did four flick-flacks, | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
three baranis, two arab springs, a backward somersault | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
and landed perfectly on his hands just in front of the high altar. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
There's a little old lady at the back of the church | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
looking on horrified. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
She rushes home to her friend. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
"Bridey, my dear, Bridey, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:25 | |
"would you be after going to confession tonight, my child?" | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
Cos she was Welsh, you see(!) | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
She said, "Yes, I would, Mary. Why do you ask?" | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
She said, "Oh, my dear, put on a clean pair of drawers. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
"You want to see the penance the silly old fool is dishing out now!" | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
Are you settled down? | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
Right. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
I shall begin. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
Once upon a time in a coreign fountry there lived | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
a geautiful birl whose name was Rinder Cella. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
Also in the same coreign fountry there lived a prandsome hince. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
This prandsome hince was given a bancy fall and invited all | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
the people from riles amound to go along to the bancy fall. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
And he invited Rinder Cella's mugly other and two sigly usters. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
So off they went to the drancy fesh shops to buy some drancy fesses. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
But poor little old Rinder Cella, as you know, sat at home | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
and wept cos she only had some old rirty dags. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
But suddenly her Gairy Modfather appeared and waved a wagic mand | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
and conjured up a cig boach and hix white sorses. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
But she said, | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
"You must be back by nidmight or I'll purn you into a tumpkin." | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
Well, off she went to the bancy fall. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
The prandsome hince met her at the door cos he'd been | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
watching from a widden hindow high up in the tower | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
and they nanced all dight and lell in fove. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
Well, suddenly the mig clock struck night | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
and she staced down the rairs and on the way she slopped her dripper. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
Well, the next day, | 0:24:38 | 0:24:39 | |
the prandsome hince went all round the coreign fountry | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
looking for the geautiful birl that slopped the dripper | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
and he came to Rinder Cella's house, banged on the door. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
Tried it on her mugly other, but it fidn't dit. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
Tried it on the two sigly usters, still fidn't did. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
But when he tried it on Rinder Cella, it fit did, | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
and they got married and lived heftily hever hapwards. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
Well, being a vicar, there has to be a moral to this story, | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
which is this. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:03 | |
If you go to a bancy fall and you want a prandsome hince to | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
lall in fove with you, don't forget to slop your dripper... innit? | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
The scoutmaster asks his scouts if they've done their good turn | 0:25:13 | 0:25:18 | |
for the day and three boys quickly shoot up their hands, | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
"Sir, sir, sir. We took an old lady over the road." | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
So the scoutmaster says, | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
"Well done, congratulations, but did it take three of you?" | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
"Yes, sir, she didn't want to go." | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:25:36 | 0:25:37 | |
A lady came to see me from the parish. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
She was really worried about her husband. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:43 | |
Every night he was going down the pub | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
and getting absolutely plastered. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
Every night, he was coming home absolutely sheet to the wind. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:52 | |
She said, "What am I going to do?" and I said, | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
"Well, I think really you've got to give him a shock, | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
"something that will shake him to the core | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
"and he'll stop all this at a stroke." | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
So I suggested a plan to her that she should... | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
I knew that this man, every night, after he left the pub, | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
he cut through the churchyard on his way back home, so I said, | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
"What you need to do, you go behind the biggest gravestone, | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
"you get a big sheet on you, and when he's coming past you, | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
"just jump out on him. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
"That should scare the living daylights out of him." | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
So she did. The next night, she was behind the gravestone, | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
closing time came, she waited there. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
Along he comes, you know, singing away - | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
# Show me the way to go home # - | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
and she jumps out at him and says, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
"I am the devil and I have come for your soul!" | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
And the man says, "Aye, well, we're related, cos I married your sister." | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
I'm from up north and we're not very bright up north. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
There were these two chaps on a train, one from Lancashire | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
and one from Yorkshire, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
and the Lancashire man had a sack in his hand and it had something moving | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
in it and the Yorkshireman says, "what have you got in that sack?" | 0:27:08 | 0:27:12 | |
The Lancashire man says, rabbits. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
The Yorkshire man says, "I'll tell you what, | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
"if I guess how many rabbits you've got in that sack, can I have one?" | 0:27:18 | 0:27:23 | |
The Lancashire man says, "If you can guess how many rabbits I've got | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
"in this sack, you can have them both." | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
One more, if you can bear it. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
There were two nuns and they just joined the convent | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
and the Mother Superior issued them with their brand-new habits | 0:27:37 | 0:27:43 | |
and says, "Right, your first job is to paint your room. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
"But don't get any paint on these new habits whatever you do." | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
So they go to their room and one says to the other, | 0:27:51 | 0:27:55 | |
"I don't know how we're going to avoid getting paint on our habits." | 0:27:55 | 0:28:00 | |
And the other one says, "I know what we'll do, | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
"we'll take our habits off, fold them up, and then we can paint. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:08 | |
"We won't have anything on, but we can still paint the room." | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
Fair enough, so they start painting the room, | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
and then there's a knock at the door | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
and they go, "Ooh!" cos they locked the door. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
They say, "Who is it?" | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
And they hear this voice saying, "Blind man." | 0:28:23 | 0:28:27 | |
And they say, "What we going to do?" | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
They said, "Well, he's blind, what's the harm? We'll just let him in." | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
So they go over to the door, unlock it, | 0:28:33 | 0:28:35 | |
this bloke comes in and he says, "Cor, nice tits! | 0:28:35 | 0:28:40 | |
"Now where do you want me to hang the blind?" | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
(I think that's enough!) | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
