That went down like a dead kangaroo with a floating balloon attached to it.

Should I tie yer kangaroo down mate?

Oh look, there's room for two through that door...

Crikey mate. We don't sing that song anymore. You know. The guy that made that recording an all with the wobble board.

But at xmas we sing "Kangaroos on an open Fire" la la la la la.

This diet thing has sent me bonkers in the brain.

Kind regards,

Bally

Hehe was merely giving you a hard time.

I will now share a variant of an awful joke I learned from a good boyhood buddy.

Here it is:

Q. What did the 1 say to the 7?

So close!

A. Nice hat!

An imaginary panel of Family Feud judges in my head just said "close enough, he got it".

Okay! I'm gonna scrape the bottom of the barrel here. To start the aussie term 'chook' means 'chicken' eg. statement - "I've fed the chooks truey" means "I've fed the Chickens my wife" A short lesson there in the Aussie vernacular so to speak.

So,

"Why didn't the chook cross the road ?"

Then you're going to get this one:

Q. What did the 0 say to the 8?

That was always the followup to my buddy's first joke. He was a repository of terrible jokes. If he were an ATS member, his name would be DictionaryOfTerribleJokes!

There is something special about bad jokes, though, isn't there?

a reply to: bally001

Because their parents scared them with bedtime spook stories of roadkilled chickens?

Got me...

Haha! I don't know the answer to either of your jokes.

Just read a meme on facebook that said...

I'm still waiting patiently
for the wisdom that supposedly comes with old age.
Anyone else?

a reply to: Night Star

A. Nice belt!

I'll spend the rest of the night away from the fire, then.

No, the chook didn't cross the road simply 'because he was chicken.'

Slowly I'm backing into the curtains.

They finished breakfast and the seer turned toward Night. "It is time, I've much to do and you must be off now to find the lost denizens of the shed in the real world. Do not falter. Do not fear." The old woman slowly opened her right hand to reveal an intricate amulet of silver and crystals in the design of a sacred tree that towered in the secret forest. "Take this, it will keep you safe. Good journey Night Star Princess of Alandia and Pesky the mischievous and charming pixie." The seer leaned on her wooden staff and walked out into the brisk morning air.

"Ok, now what?" asked Pesky. She pulled her bulky sweater over her head and grabbed her cloak. Night hesitated. "I don't know if this is a good idea, but we have to try at least. The humans have some sort of celebration coming up. They dress in costumes, children and adults. I will be able to blend in then. In the meantime, we must proceed with great caution. Oh and...You'll have to remain hidden and quiet the whole time while people are about. Think you can handle that?"
The little pixie was insulted. "Of course I can! Are you trying to tell me I talk too much?"

The companions, after traveling deep into the forest found a portal and stepped through the purple glowing light.
When they reached the other side, Pesky hid in the hood of Night's cloak, peeking out. There were trees in Autumn colored splendor, children running around playing, people holding hands and walking, dogs and their owners enjoying the lovely day. A handsome young man with a large dog walked toward them. The dog barked incessantly, baring sharp teeth and growling. Night took a step backward.

"I apologize, she doesn't usually behave in this manner. He calmed the dog with his soothing voice and she sat by his side. Still, she eyed Night as though she were a danger and remained cautious. The Young man extended his hand. "I'm Tyler, and this..." He nodded at the large fluffy white dog. "Is Athena."

Night was nervous and in awe at the same time. She was in the real world.

First, I need old age. 37 does not count as "old age" does it? Rather something like "early middle"? "Pre-middle"?

I'm still a dumbass

I think that I passed through the "wisdom that comes with old age " stage at some point (very, very quickly) and now find myself in a befuddled, brain-fog-limbo stage, somewhere between "past-it" and "now can't even remember it"!
