There seems to be no thread for Archaeology or for Funnies. Is it worth starting them?

Alastair. There certainly used to be a "Funnies" thread, to which I've often contributed . My neighbour called me in on Saturday morning to show me his train set. We sat chatting for a while & he mentioned that he was the third husband of his wife. I asked what happened to the first one & he replied that he'd died from eating poisoned mushrooms. So I asked about the second one & he told me he died because he wouldn't eat the mushrooms!
-
Good job he has survived, as I feel there was not mushroom for the other two in her affections? :-\
-
Be gone, foul fiend as the bard would put it. ;)
-
Am I the foul fiend, Martin and do you want me gone or just barred?
-
No Alastair, it was directed at CAT - and meant humorously after that atrocious pun.
-
Atrocious pun MartinR. That one was straight from the Two Ronnies, I think? ;)
No offence taken.
-
A pair of comedic genii, sadly missed.

They were, indeed, Martin. Fortunately their shows are still being repeated. Proper comedians, not like the modern lot.
This doesn't get very far in my quest for a thread for Funnies and Archaeology. Separately, of course. On the other hand.....

Alastair. I'm afraid I don't remember what the heading was & have been all down the new list without success. Collin x, from Sheerness was a regular contributor before passing on. With the easing of the lockdown, I decided to go to McDonalds for a burger. Arriving to sit on the next table, an old couple bought a burger. He carefully cut it in two & ate his half. Passing it over to his wife, she then ate her half. I thought, poor pensioners can't afford two, so feeling magnanimous, I said to the wife that I'd buy them one each. She replied, thank you but we always share everything. The husband then bought a plate of chips, carefully counted out two equal portions & ate his, passing the others to his wife. So I again said, please let me buy you a portion each but the wife said no, they were fine and always shared everything. When she had finished her portion, the husband went and bought a desert, brought it back, carefully divided it into two and ate his half. He then passed it over to his wife, who just sat there looking at it. After a while, I said to the wife, excuse me but why are you waiting before eating your portion of desert. She replied, teeth!

Oh we do need Funnies back.... please Stuart ;D

Well said, Lyn. Come on Stuart, let's have a Funnies thread or we'll use this one instead. I'm a poet and didn't know it!
