Feel free to browse the collection of tall tales, yarns and downright lies. They are all family safe - the test I apply is "would I tell this to someone's grandmother?" If no, I don't use it. (That doesn't mean i don't appreciate a dirty joke, but I don't think they're appropriate for broadcast on the radio - you never know who is listening or how old they are or what their attitudes to dirty jokes amounts to. )
I was walking past the pub the other night and I heard a brilliant rendition of Sweet Home Alabama being played by a chap on guitar. I went in and recognised the musician as our local magistrate. I told him I thought he was a wonderful player and could I get him to play at my party the next week. He said he’d love to but that he was fed up playing other people’s songs all the time and rarely got a chance to play his own material. I said no problem, I’m sure you’ll be great. As luck would have it his own stuff was terrible and the night was ruined… Anyway, I’ve learnt my lesson and now know I should never book a judge by his cover…
