Never Forget

Fronting the Band for 12+ years, I have tried to come up with different material for each Concert .When I think of the number of Concerts we have performed at over these years at the Oak ,plus numerous gig's over the years, then this is allot off material. My bookshelves are full of joke books, and my PC files with joke web site addresses. I have files of jokes that the audience have provided for me and even last night read through some Xmas Cracker jokes that people had given me. (Only they were really out of a joke book lol) My cupboards are full of notes and ideas, and there are even some scribblings under my bed (no rude books honest ) Of the material out there 90% is rude, 3% racist and 5% sexist, which does not leave allot to work with. I seem to be spending longer now finding new material and looking back at the stuff I have used all the years, making sure I don't tell the same joke twice? It can be a stress so as not to let the audience down, and keep the Band's name as 'The Most Entertaining' at it's peak.
Which reminds me.
A guy who was on Safari in Africa came across an injured Elephant. The poor thing was lying on the floor in obvious pain. The guy noticed a thorn sticking out of the Elephants foot, so removed it. The Elephants discomfort was immediately relieved, and he got himself to his feet and ambled back into the wild, turning once to look at the guy who had taken away his pain.
20 years later, this same guy was standing on the streets of New York watching a Circus parade pass by. Suddenly from the parade, out charged an Elephant. He came straight up to this bloke, wrapped his trunk around him, lifted him into the air, and then threw him to the ground, killing him instantly.
It was a different Elephant!
