Laugh You Bastards!!!

A lorry driver is taking 200 penguins to London Zoo when his lorry breaks down on the motorway. The driver gets out of the cab and he's looking at the engine when a second lorry driver pulls in behind him and asks if he needs help. The driver of the penguin lorry explains that he's taking the penguins to the zoo and asks if the other man would take them there instead. The other driver happily agrees. Some hours later, the 2nd lorry driver drives past the first one, who is still waiting on the motorway. The penguins are still on the lorry, and seem to look quite happy. "I thought I asked you to take those penguins to the zoo," shouted the first driver. The second replied, "I did, but I had some money left, so we're going to the cinema now."

I do love that joke but I am pretty positive that the 'concept' is ripped off a book called 'Death and the Penguin' by Andrey Kurkov. I haven't actually read it, but a guy I used to work with read an excerpt which sounded very similar from this book. He said it was excellent - might go and get a copy actually...

Interesting. I've read the book (and very much recommend you go and buy it, tis very good...), but the joke is new on me. It's been a while since I read it though, so maybe I've forgotten.....

It's the best joke I've heard in some time anyway, a bit Chick Murray in some ways

It's older than me. But not bad.

Szelsofa, I shall hold back from saying the obvious thing. Needless to say, as a gentleman (quit laughing back there!) I would never make a cheap remark about someone elses age.

Unless it was David Duff.
