Tomfoolery


Why did the dyslexic Yorkshireman get funny looks?
Because he was walking around wearing a cat flap.

A Yorkshireman walks into a vet's office and says "Ay up, can tha tek a look at our cat? It's not bin its sen lately."
"Sure.'" says the vet. "'First things first, is it a tom?"
"Nah" he replies "I've got it 'ere wi me."

A Texan ranch owner was on holiday in Yorkshire. He visited a local pub in a sheep farming area of the county. He struck up a conversation with a sheep farmer in the pub. After a bit of chit chat, the Texan asked the Yorkshireman a question. The conversation went thus:
Texan - “So, how long does it take you to go from one end of your farm to the other?”
Yorkshireman – “About three hours to walk from one end to the other.”
Texan – “If I get in my car to drive from one end of my ranch to the other, it’ll take me a day.”
Yorkshireman -  (after some pause for thought) – “Aye, I used to have a car like that.”

A man was spotted at a farmers market in a coastal town in Yorkshire, kissing a girl who was not his wife.
Turns out he was having a Scarborough affair.

Wrigleys have launched a new website where you can order chewing gum online. It's called ebuygum.com!

A farmer in Yorkshire sees a bloke drinking from his stream & shouts,"Ey up cock! Tha dun wanna be drinkin watta from theer, it's full o hoss piss an cow shite".
The bloke says "I'm from London can you speak bit slower please".
The farmer replies, "If - you -use - two - hands - you - won't - spill - any!"

    1. Glad you got 'em Jenny.. I wasn't sure that foreigners or aliens like yourself would make sense of them.

  3. Of course we foreigners can understand them! We have televisions and hear a variety of languages with different dialects and so on. I feel sorry for the man taking a drink from the river though.

  6. Thanks for the Monday morning laughs YP.
    The other evening, I watched a TV programme about the making of "Last of the Summer Wine". Hilarious humour, and I thought that it's a long time since I've had such a good laugh.

    1. You have just made me think of a new job! Professional tickler! You book him or her online and they come round to give you a good tickle - including the soles of your feet and your armpits. Before you know it you are laughing uncontrollably. Best to wear incontinence pants.

    I am appropriately amused, especially about the Texan's slow car.

    1. I would be able to understand you as I used to watch "Miami Vice".

    2. Haha! I think I might actually sound more like one of the ladies in Designing Women. Did you ever watch any of that show? It was terrific.

  12. I really didn't realize that Yorkshire people talked so differently until I started reading blogs, Neil. It's a whole new language that I wasn't even aware of. I've been sheltered here in the Midwest of the US! :)

    1. English accents heard in films and period dramas are not the accents of the mass of ordinary English people. Mind you I guess it's the same with Holywood film and US accents.

  13. It's the way you tell 'em.
