Contribution to wit


It took me many years to make my contribution to the wit of the 20th Century (No! It's not the rice pudding joke!..or even how you get down off an elephant). But in the late 1990s I discovered it:

However my contribution to the wit of the 21st century has fallen into my lap courtesy of my youngest dauighter who emailed me yesterday to ask:

And I replied:
