Following on from two earlier pieces (most recently this one), here are another 10 jokes from Tony Blackburn’s “Sounds of the 60s” show on Radio 2. Most of them come from the few minutes just before 8am on the live broadcasts when he and Dermot O’Leary discuss their week.
- We heard about a trip to the funfair, and the ride on the Ghost Train. The queue was long and everyone had to wait for ages. They only had a Skeleton Staff.
- Last winter there was ice on the windscreen, and Tony had to scrape it off. He couldn’t find his usual scraper so he used one of those supermarket discount cards. He only got 10% off.
- Dermot bought a load of fireworks but none of them worked: Bang out of order.
- One his friends landed at Heathrow and passed out on the baggage carousel. He’s just coming round now.
- Tony sold his Punch & Judy show. When asked why, he said, “to take them off my hands”.
- After his recent big birthday Dermot has decided to do something his grandmother did. At 65 she started walking 10km a day. She’s 92 now, they’ve no idea where she is.
- One of the listeners contacted the show to say that they were at the petrol station recently and got really emotional: they were just filling up.
- Another one fell asleep on the sofa and when they woke up someone had put a teabag in their mouth. They hate being treated like a mug.
- Tony Blackburn and his wife have started to do lunges as a way of getting fit: it’s a big step forward for them.
- Dermot has heard about a memo going round the office, with some dire consequences for the employee with the worst posture. He has a hunch it might be him.
