Re Qi - can someone explain to me why the fuck Jo Brand is considered funny ? "Im fat and like cake" is her entire routine.

Apparently you're not the only one...

From QI transcripts dot com

Alan:
One of my favourite jokes is about bees.

Danny:
Oh, here we go. [rubs hands together eagerly]

Stephen:
Oh, hello.

Alan:
It's not very long.

Stephen:
Good.

Alan:
Two bee keepers . . . And one says, "How many bees have you got?"
And he says, "I've got 10,000 bees.”
He says, "How many hives have you got?"
He says, "I've got 20 hives".
“20 hives; 10,000 bees?"
He says, "Yeah.”

He says, “How may bees have you got?"
He says, “I've got a million bees.”
“A million bees?!"
He says, "Yeah."
He says, "How many hives have you got?"
"One."

"A million bees - one hive?”
He goes, "Yeah, fuck 'em; they're only bees.”

Stephen:
Very nice. Very nice.

Danny:
A fellow goes into the cake shop, and says, "I'd like to buy a wasp please." He says, "We don't sell wasps." He said, "There's one in your window!”

Stephen:
"There's one in the window!"

Danny:
Hey! [claps for himself]

Cheers for that Ean, well, I can see that it doesn't make it any clearer for me (nor funny either!!!), but at a guess, I'm thinking that the bee keeper with one hive is not bothered that his bees are all cramped together in one hive??, or am I wrong??

Nope, I think you've pretty much nailed it there.

Well, in that case, it just isn't bloody funny at all.

My most definate fabourite is this though, (off the back of a penguin biscuit wrapper)................

Just replace Kentucky with your most hated neighbours.

The young Kentuckian came running into the store and said to his buddy


"Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!" Bubba
replied, "Did you see who it was?" The young Kentuckian answered, "I
couldn't tell, but I got the license number."

===============
A Kentucky State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-71. The trooper asked, "Got any ID?"


Bubba replied, "Bout whut?

I went to the job centre and the woman said "have you thought about doing voluntary work"

I replied "Voluntary work? I wouldn't do it if you paid me"
