It might be connected to decline in libido as all the best jokes are dirty, about huge bums and fannies etc

I actually invented a joke the other day.

Richard Gere is guesting on Top Gear
Come the time for shooting, Clarkson is running around in a panic saying has anyone seen Hammond?

Didn't she do well?

I am still more than happy to laugh at others' misfortunes.
I think, "Thank Fook that is not me......silly old buffer!!"
Anyway, I think I will make a fantastic old curmudgeon. My life thus far has been building up to it. And I am well on track!!

Incredible! That must mean there's some very old posters on here.

Also, is not being born with a sense of humour a disability? If so, I feel guilty for winding up Pogle & Fitzy
