Chicken Chow-grain?!?!

I'm not sure if that is (and it could well be) a really really bad X-mas cracker joke, or perhaps a really bad Christian Mertes attempt at the answer to a joke...
by Simon - Sun 14th Dec 2008, 11:22pm
There's no such thing as a bad attempt to answer a joke. Indeed, it's the whole point of this thread.

This thread traces its origins back to the 2nd May VIII 1999. I sat in front of Graham (we also lived on the same staircase, got mistaken for each other by novices, and I would take over from him as Magpiety that summer). Mike Goodson was in front of me, so it was a bit of a comedy line up in the bows; in front of Mike, stern four were, well, stern.

It was a warm summer, and I got into the habit of eating a lolly as I cycled to the BH for evening outings. I would then tell Graham the joke as we got into the boat. He would invariably get the answer instantly, before we even pushed off.

Until the day that the question was "What type of pie can fly?".

Graham's instant reply was "Jellycopter." Then, mentally blocked by a diversion onto puddings rather than pies, he struggled. For once I felt smug - finally a joke to which he didn't know the answer. During the warm up, other alternatives were offered; all were wrong.

By now we were heading for the lock to get over before women's hour started, and were motoring down the reach. I assume that I've won. Suddenly, without warning, I hear a muttered "Bustard Tart?" from behind me.

Tragically, it was also the wrong answer - surprising really, as I am sure all four year olds have heard of the Bustard and it would be the ideal punchline for a Mini Milk. Meanwhile I learnt that it's hard to row from Ditton to the lock while giggling.

I reckon the answer to this is a Brick-Layer. Ah I've been to too many Christmas parties already!
