Time for some Christmas cracker crap jokes. Page 3

This was in a cracker yesterday.

What is white and goes up?

I mean, there were children in the room.
Someone was paid to write it.
Wasn't you was it Teddy? I know you used to write some.

I asked Frank Carson, What's the name of that thing you pull at Christmas with a hat and crap joke inside?

No, nor me.

Thank you Billy! Well, I've never heard a wishbone described as that before. Perhaps it was in the 50s and I was too young to understand or remember the word.

What a relief! Speaking of which...............a joke my Dad cracked when I was a nipper and remember:-

(I won't elaborate, to see if you get it - you need to remember the old bus service) :D

If carrot is a double decker bus and a potato is a single decker bus, what is a pea?

Well, if the question was what is a potato or what is a carrot, one might think of a root master.

But with pea, I thought maybe something to do with a pod, which could be connected to some sort of transport system. But the only other type of bus that springs to mind is a trolleybus and I can't link the two together.

Or am I thinking too deeply Geek ?

I don't know much about old bus services but I've suffered my fair share of terrible dad-jokes and grandad-jokes in my time so I'm going to have a guess.

Is the pea a relief service?

I like the root master :D, but I don't think we had them in the 50s - no, and yes, too deeply. Life was much simpler then.................

Yes! :D A pea(e) is a relief, and my goodness we did giggle at such a rude word.

I said to Paul, George and Ringo, I wouldn't marry Yoko. They said, Nor we. John would.
I said to Van Morrison, I wouldn't write classical music. He said, Chopin would.
I said to Mick Jagger, I wouldn't listen to One Direction. They're shit.

This is where I should've posted it.

This was a joke in a Christmas cracker.

Now can someone explain it to me? Am I being thick? Is it lost in translation? Or is it just really weak?

What kind of cough medicine does Dracula take?

Con medicine.

Should be BATtercup syrup

I couldn't get within a mile of explaining that one but my friend who works at a supermarket that sells those crackers has come to he rescue. It's a misprint and it should say 'coffin medicine'.

Thank you. Makes a bit more sense I suppose.

So much for poof readers!

Although if the answer was coffin medicine, surely the question shouldn't be "what type of cough medicine...", it should be just "what kind of medicine".

It is apparently a conundrum that has been perplexing the good ladies of Mumsnet for the past five years: https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2534779-to-ask-if-anyone-can-explain-this-joke-please

You'd think the manufacturers would have got round to correcting it by now!
