Pig farmer Edward Bears had a hard life working 16 hours per day for precious little reward.
What he did have was his prized sow which won every contest it entered and produced the finest piglets anywhere.
One morning he got up to find that the pen was empty and his prized sow was gone.
This was the evening news paper's headline......
"Today's The Day That Eddie Bears Had His Pig Nicked"

Well, I walked into this thread with extremely low expectations, and I haven't been disappointed.

Actually, I have changed my mind... 2/10.

Giving 6/10 for that was one of my rasher decisions.

I have a few on similar lines (song titles) from years ago (not my work) but can't be arsed typing long jokes at the moment.

Report HH Sultan Vinegar September 22, 2014 1:38 PM BST
I would take the OP to task over his assertion that the joke is original. Many years ago an almost identical joke was on the circuit which  postulated the anthropomorphism of teddy bears and a situation arising where they were using picks to perform some important manual task. The bears were unable to continue with the labouring project due to an overnight theft of their tools. This resulted in the punchline "today's the day the teddy bears had their picks nicked."
So a 1 from me.
Report Makybe_Diva September 22, 2014 1:48 PM BST
I have heard similar jokes too, but I think Aunty's joke can definitely be classed as original.
Report Aunty Post September 22, 2014 1:51 PM BST
Fek me our Highness!

Doesn't matter what you think but someone always got there before you.

Crazily enough I can now recall something like that, though I wasn't inspired by that and think mine is more inventive.

Accordingly please re vote on a scale of -1 to -10.Blush

I know you're a man of integrity AP and that you may have been unaware of this "prior art."
I think it's quite commendable to construct your own jokes so I'll up it to 3 for old times sake.

Aunty! I'm about to watch The Snark!

Can you believe I haven't yet watched it? Especially after all the fuss I made when it wouldn't play Blush

Will report back Excited

Aunty!!!!

I was really enjoying it when it completely froze halfway through The Beaver's Lesson Angry

I've taken it out and put it in again several times.. but nothing!

It plays fine up till then and will play the extras but nothing beyond halfway through track 8.

Just a blank screen. I can hear it now, in the machine, wurring away trying to play.

I am so not happy.

Mike Batt had better hope he never bumps in to me Angry

Nope, it still froze in the same place so I left it and it's gone back to the beginning.

I will just have to accept that me and The Snark were not meant to be Sad

You won't hear another peep out of me on this matter, Aunty.
