Some great humour :

Jokes of the Day from the Herald-Sun :

h A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the engine of aicar, when a well-known heart surgeon entered the garage.

The mechanic said: “Doc, take a look at this car. I open its heart, take the valves out, fix ’em, put ’em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new.

“So, how come I get such a small salary, but you get such big bucks for basically doing the same work?” he asked.

The surgeon paused, smiled as he leant over and said: “Try doing all that with the engine running.”

 h I phoned my wife and said “I have something to tell you but it is hard to say.”  “What is it” she asked nervously. “Ken Dodd’s dad’s dog’s dead.” I replied.

 h Karen : “When I drink coffee, I can’t sleep.” Sharon : “Really, I am the exact opposite.” Karen : “Wow, seriously?” Sharon : “Yes, when I sleep I can’t drink coffee.”

These guys always crack me up

I learnt so much about cheeses from this one

The Cheese Shop Sketch

Four Yorkshiremen—the original sketch coming in 1967—was first performed by the skit’s four writer-performers : Tim Brooke-Taylor (later from The Goodies), Marty Feldman, John Cleese and Graham Chapman. This is the Python version.

The Oscar Wilde Sketch

… that does have some original ‘Wilde’.

The Parrot Sketch was originally from The Secret Policeman’s Ball … see Michael Palin losing his composure.

Copper wire

After having dug to a depth of 10ifeet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the British, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20ifeet, and shortly after, a story published in the New York Times : “American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the British".

One week later, Australia’s Northern Territory Times, reported the following : “After digging as deep as 30ifeet in his backyard in Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, aboriginal Billi Bunji, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely fuck-all. Billi has, therefore, concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless.”
