JOKES PLEASE

Re: Running totals

Corporal of Horse Blenkinsop had been performing well in the Household Cavalry, and the Colonel had decided to offer him a commission, in order to encourage other rankers to make more effort. He had the adjuntant call Blenkinsop before him.

"Now then Blenkinsop, we've decided to make you an officer. You'll enjoy life in the mess. On Mondays, we get the band in, and have a damn fine sing-song."

"Afraid I don't sing, sir"

"Never mind Blenkinsop, never mind. On tuesdays, we get the Catering Corps johnnies to roast an ox, and we have a blow out meal."

"Afraid I'm vegetarian sir."

"Quite so, Blenkinsop, but you'll enjoy Wednesdays. We get the best claret up from the mess cellars and get absolutely plastered."

"Afraid I'm tee-total sir."

"Sorry to hear that, Blenkinsop, but I'm sure you'll enjoy Thursday night. We get a bunch of ladies in, from a chap we know in Piccadilly, and we really get stuck in, if you now what I mean."

"Yes, sir, I know exactly what you mean, but I'm afraid I don't go with women, sir"

"Don't go with women! Surely you're not queer, Blenkinsop?"

"No sir."

"Well, in that case, you won't enjoy Friday night either."
