I bored Mrs PN with that joke, she made a pistol and shot herself. And THAT before I saw this.

Hoffnung - well worth browsing

[CharlieOneSix]

Another oldie.....not as funny as Hoffnung but aviation related. The speaker is David Gunson.

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

Highly recommended.

On a long transit (I think to Deci), my nav gave me a tape of a David Gunson speech to replay on the cockpit voice recorder. David happened to be describing the problems of getting into French airspace, just as we were doing so and they were p!ssing off the Patrouille de France by telling them they would have to hold outside the FIR. It is the closest I have come to dying laughing.

[Alisoncc]

Haven't heard that in an incredibly long time. Thanks C16.

[tango15]

I've always been a bit surprised that he never achieved more fame outside the aviation community with that. It's a brilliantly crafted speech - amusing, entertaining, and easily understood, even by those of a non-aviation persuasion.

Re: David Gunson, I have not only the original vinyl LP, but also the cassette and the CD, just in case TPTB decide to deny us the ability to enjoy such innocent pleasures currently appreciated via the medium of 'streaming', a switch which they may pull at any time...

Following multiple hearings I still get great enjoyment and amusement out of this carefully crafted but no longer PC oration.

"I'll be back"

[ricardian]

A little girl brings a hamster into the vet's surgery. She tells the vet that the hamster is not eating or drinking nor is it moving around very much. The vet takes the hamster out of its cage and puts it on the table; the hamster is drinking, eating and moving around. The vet asks the little girl if anything had happened that could have caused the problem. The little girl says that the hamster did escape a few days ago but they found it under the fridge and put it back in its cage. Then the vet notices that the hamster has something in its cheek pouch so they look inside and find a fridge magnet. It turns out that all that was wrong with the hamster was that it had a fridge magnet in its cheek pouch and it was stuck to the metal cage.

Another easy diagnosis for the vet

Sorry, I will have to have that one explained to me.

This should explain it:

[Ex-Ascot]

Thank you Archer. Having not seen an advert on TV for well over 20 years we didn't stand a chance with that one.

[Archer]

I had to look it up myself, I can safely say that this is not covered in any TV adverts. I'm also glad I don't own a Samsung washing machine!

[OFSO]

All modern machines do SOMETHING to indicate they have finished...
