Heard last night on R4. It may not be new to you!
"At a new boat launching ceremony the proud owners were preparing to do the champagne bit and name the boat "Alice" after the wife. Alice began her speech and just as she had uttered the words "I name this ship..." she clumsily dropped the bottle and it smashed without hitting the boat.
After much discussion about bad luck and superstition, the boat is now called "Bugger"
Cheers
