I went down the local ice-cream shop today, and I said, "I want to buy an ice-cream" The man said, "Hundreds & thousands?" I said, "We'll start with one." He said, "Knickerbocker Glory?" I said, "I do get a certain amount of freedom in these trousers, yes."

Don't forget that 99% of facts on the internet are incorrect. The correct one per cent includes the fact that these jokes were coined by Tim 'time taveller' Vine.
that was the comic genius of les dawon with a face like a bag of spanners and a mother in law from hell
