Those of you [surely all of you] who regularly read the main website will have noticed that the jokes are back. Many pages end with a little bit of humour which changes at random if you refresh the page or re-visit it later.
It takes a surprisingly long time to assemble a decent collection of such one-line jokes or thoughts so I am begging your help. Please put some suggestion in this thread.
a) Keep them short.
b) Keep them clean.
c) Aim for ones which will not offend.
d) Try not to make them too hard for people overseas reading the websites and for whom English is not the first language.
Some of the gags on there at present are:
Preserve nature. Pickle a squirrel today.
I have a stepladder. It is a very nice stepladder but it is sad that I never knew my real ladder.
I am busier than a one-legged Riverdancer.
I have kleptomania, but when it gets bad, I take something for it.
d) Try not to make them too hard for people overseas reading the websites and for whom English is not the first language.

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. There are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my Dad, or my older brother Colin, or my younger Brother Ho-Cha-Chu? But I think its Colin.

Film making is not a matter of Life and Death
It's much more important than that.
Stephen,
You have been watching too many Tommy Cooper shows!!!!
Actually I might be able to use some of those in our next 'comedy?' production. But clearly it wont be any better than our last effort.
