Following on from three 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.
- Dermot’s friend was going out with a well-known tennis player. She’s broken it off and he hasn’t heard from her. Dermot asked his mate how he was feeling and he said: “Tennis players? Love means nothing to them”.
- Tony has applied for a job at the Royal Mail but he hasn’t heard back from them yet; he’s getting a bit fed up with it: They said they’d keep him posted.
- A listener wrote in to say that she had lost her job at the pet shop. Someone came in and asked for a spider. She told her that she could get it cheaper on the web.
- Tony’s nephew is editor of Boating Monthly but he lost his job recently. Sails (sales) were down.
- Dermot kept dreaming about the Grease soundtrack so he went to a dream specialist. She said, “Tell me more, tell me more …”
- Tony was getting on a plane, slipped on the stairs and broke his arm, but it was okay, it was only an airline fracture.
- Dermot went for a walk with his friend, who has a dog, and the dog ran off to the lake, splashed around, and was floating about for ages, yes, he’s a good boy (buoy)
- Tony has just bought a new car, but it hasn’t got a floor. It’s great for running around in.
- Someone threw a big jar of Omega-3 tablets at Dermot’s head, and it really hurt. But they were only super-fish-oil injuries.
- Dermot and Tony have both told variations on this joke: “My daughter said, ‘Can I have a Bookmark?’ I was really upset. All these years and he still doesn’t know my name.”
