nice

when I turn 65 I'm getting myself a job at Kwik Fit so I can Retyre!

I bought myself a fan that has been made completely out of recycled old farm yard vehicles.
It's an Extractor Fan!

Right - very good! Took me a minute though of thinking "Why is that funny?"

Aye, in writtem form it ought to be:

"It's an Ex-tractor Fan!"

to signify the brief pause you would include after Ex in speaking it.

Yes, nice gag. I'm afraid it's been done before, though (haven't they all? :( ). I heard "I used to love farm machinery, but now I'm an ex-tractor fan", which is nice because it puns on "fan" too.

I had a one night stand with an extractor fan.

Can't beat a bit of fan, eh.

Same here

Actually I got blown out

I don't get this one, is "Kirk and ha'penny" supposed to sound like "cake and eat it"?

Also, several people on here seem to be committing the cardinal sin of repeating a vital word from the punchline in the set up, for a joke to work effectively you really need to find a way around this.

I picked up a book on the history of adhesives the other day. Couldn't put it down

Yes, we used both terms up't north :D

That's true although my father used to say 'bun and ha'penny.

I don't understand what you mean Tony sorry? can you give a few examples and why its a sin? I have the feeling I'm going to be one of the guilty ones, but don't know what I've done! lol :-)
