Christmas Cracker jokes

We were in a dive bar last night and our friend who the Boy has renamed Statto (he has created a spreadsheet with a bespoke ranking system for his fantasy football league) was regaling the girls on Team Momentum with Christmas cracker jokes.

You know the ones of the ilk:

What do you call a man with a seagull on his head?
Cliff

and

What do you call a donkey with three legs?
A wonkey
(My baby sister/sitter's favourite joke when she was seven)

Now the hilarious bit was that the girls found these absolutely hilarious. Whilst us Brits would groan, they were lapping it up. Statto is the new Ricky Gervais. Unfortunately, it always seemed to take a while for them to get each one, and it was always accompanied by a mini explanation, the most extensive of which was:

What do you call a Russian with three testicles?
Whodyanickabollockof (OK, not that suitable for a Christmas cracker)

The girls really struggled with this one because of the verb 'to nick' and of course, 'bollock'. Ah, it's at times like this that you learn and love about differences in culture. And you've gotta love British culture.

In other news, we're off to Governor's Island, which is only open at the weekends for a Lawn Jazz Party. Posh!
