I discovered another new word 'Cooperism', meaning comedians copying Tommy Cooper's wit and style of telling jokes. Tommy himself would have been flattered by imitations, supposedly the best compliment. Since his death in 1984, there has been an industry in 'Imitation Cooperism', like:
** I went to buy a ticket on the train to go to France. The agent said, 'Eurostar?'
I said, 'Well, I've been on the telly; but I'm no Dean Martin.'
I said, 'Well, I've been on the telly; but I'm no Dean Martin.'
- I had a mate who was suicidal. He was really depressed, so I pushed him in front of a train. He was chuffed to bits.
- I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on a grave. As I was standing there I noticed 4 grave diggers walking about with a coffin... 3 hours later and they�re still walking about with it...thought to myself, these blokes have lost the plot.
- A new Middle East crisis erupted last night as Dubai Television was refused permission to broadcast �The Flintstones�. A spokesman for the channel said, 'A claim was made that people in Dubai would not understand the humour, but we know for a fact that people in Abu Dhabi Do.'
- Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarves are not happy.
- I was walking in a cemetery this morning and saw a bloke hiding behind a gravestone. 'Morning.'I said.
- 'No,'he replied, 'just picking daisies.'
- My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.
I bought her some bathroom scales. - I start a new job in Seoul next week. I thought it was a good Korea move.
- I got some new aftershave today that smells like breadcrumbs. The birds love it!
- I was driving this morning when I saw an RAC van parked up. The driver was sobbing uncontrollably and looked very miserable. I thought to myself that guy's heading for a breakdown.
I will put some of the Tommy Cooper original, short, droll, clever and funny one or two liner jokes in the next Blog.
