Nice one Kev...and there's extra in it for Pratchett fans like me and Plaques - he'll recognise unintended references in that to at least two Discworld characters!

I took Kev's joke in a more literal manner, no imagination that's me. but now you have given me the hint my guess is ....

Angua von Überwald = Wolf.

Detritus = Granite

I suppose at a push Cherry Longbottom = Malapropism.

Spot on!

This one is a little bit naughty...

A husband asked his wife if he was the only one she’d ever been with.
She considered this and replied,

“Yes. The rest were all sevens and eights.”

Oh dear.

I like both of them!

You have two seconds to find the mouse.

There's a mouse?

Wasn't sure whether this was a joke or social history

Largely social history Kev, all of them true. Bit still funny to reflect.......

I can relate to most of those 50’s observations.

Sue Perkins during the latest Just a Minute episode noted that the energy company PowerGen formed an Italian subsidiary and called it PowerGen Italia!

I like it.... .

I'm with Kev on both of those.

Teaching English in China?

On his 70th birthday, a man was given a gift certificate from his wife. The certificate was for a consultation with an Indian medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumoured to have a simple cure for erectile dysfunction.

The husband went to the reservation and saw the medicine man. The old Indian gave him a potion and, with a grip on his shoulder, warned 'This is a powerful medicine. You take only a teaspoonful, and then say: '1-2-3'. When you do, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life, and you can perform for as long as you want."

The man thanked the old Indian, and as he walked away, he turned and asked: "How do I stop the medicine from working?"

"Your partner must say '1-2-3-4' he responded, "but when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon."

He was very eager to see if it worked, so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, he took off his clothes and said: "1-2-3!"

Immediately, he was the manliest of men. His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes, and asked: "What was the 1-2-3 for?"

And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.

I think I understand that joke.....
