Barry Cryer RIP
« on: January 27, 2022, 02:42:12 PM »
I was just listening to a tribute on Radio 4 to Barry Cryer, who has just passed away. At one time, if you laughed at a joke on TV, he probably wrote it.

A couple of people interviewed were asked what their favourite joke of his was:

1) A man is shaving in the bathroom, his wife walks in wearing her new dress, and asks 'Does my bum look big in this?'

He says 'Yes, but to be fair, it is a small bathroom.'

2) A woman is walking past a pet shop, when she sees a lovely parrot in the window, with a £5 price tag on the cage. She goes in and asks why it is so cheap. The pet shop owner explained that it came from a brothel, so has a rather fruity vocabulary. She decided that as it is so cheap, she'll take it anyway.

She takes it home, and takes the cover off the cage. The parrot looks around, and says 'New curtains, new place, lovely!'

Her daughters come home, the parrot says 'New girls, new place, lovely!'

Her husband comes home, the parrot says 'Hello Keith!'

Saly Radio 4 Extra will not be the same without him. Only just found out, he was fantastic.

Apparently  it said on the press release that he "..passed away in comfort and in good humour with his family.....", a top egg indeed.
