Thread: No sleep last night

Allan, you never cease to amaze me.

Telegram to Allan c/o Wallan PO:

Dear Allan [stop] Your jokes are terrible [stop] Won't you please, please [stop]

STOP reading my jokes... just in case you crack a smile.

STOP smiling at my jokes... when no one is looking.

STOP sending telegrams... there are no telegram boys any more.

I am reading all your STOP signs but please
GIVE WAY TO MY RIGHT to make some others happy.

Kind regards,

Allan

See the little smiley face at the bottom of my post? They don't have them in telegrams, but that means I was trying to be humorous. I was parodying a joke from an episode of Blackadder in which he sends a telegram to Charlie Chaplin:

From Blackadder Goes Forth:

[after Baldrick's Charlie Chaplin impersonation]
Captain Blackadder: Yes... take down a telegram, Bob.

To Mr. Charlie Chaplin, Sennet Studios, Hollywood, California. Congrats stop. Have found only person in world less funny than you stop. Name Baldrick stop. Signed E. Blackadder stop. Oh, and put a P.S.: please, please, please stop.


Later on....


Melchett: Oh for goodness sake, Blackadder, have you been living in a cave?
The Americans joined the war yesterday.

Edmund: So how is that going to improve the men's morale, sir?

Melchett: OOooooohhh, because you jibbering imbecile, they've brought with
them the largest collection of Charlie Chaplin films in existence.
I've lost patience with you. Fill him in, Darling. (exits)

Darling: We received a telegram this morning from Mr. Chaplin himself, at
Sennett Studios: (reads) 'Twice nightly screening of my films in
trenches, excellent idea stop. But must insist E. Blackadder be
projectionist stop. Oh PS, don't let him ever stop.'

Never mind, I amused myself.

There is a word for that.

[QUOTE=Allan at Wallan;574926]I have just had a terrible night




not surprised the way and speed your telling jokes (?)

To "SilentC"

I wasn't serious either. Just having a bit of fun.
Place one of your jokes here and we can both
have a laugh.

Best wishes,

Allan
