[EWS]

Where was the funny?

[Heilandee]

" Is it a joke" .......kinda AF ,but not as we know it  :015:

[Johnboy]

It's all to do with the way he tells them....  :020:

[EWS]

Oh wait, I think that I get the joke.  It's the fact that Ibrox has 68,000 seats in the stadium?

No??

[Heilandee]

I thought the seats were in the social club  :024:

[Johnboy]

Aye...  but Shuggie had to answer the question in the centre of the park....  :024:

[Heilandee]

......So they moved the social club to the center of the park?  ???

[Johnboy]

Maybe they had some kind of CCTV link-up  :024:

[EWS]

I have never seen so much discussion on a joke ever!!!

[Heilandee]

I reckon we can crack this ane between us before AF returns to explain it.........as i see it ,Shuggie's no too smart.....neither are the crowd,  mebbes the spellings wrong and he shouted  "Fore" making the whole crowd duck before shouting "give shuggie another chance"

[Johnboy]

I have never seen so much discussion on a joke ever!!!

We don't get too many jokes like this to chew over, EWS..... :004:

[tm4tj]

erm...........eh........umm

I give in :017:

[Johnboy]

Rangers ground capacity is only 51,000.... Where did the extra 17,000 come from?

:024: :023:

[Heilandee]

THE SOCIAL CLUB OBVIOUSLY.... :015:

[tm4tj]

:017:

should it not have been the Anti-social Club :017:

[Johnboy]

AF will be well pleased to note the enthusiastic response to his brilliant joke....  :004:

I posted one the other day about a bank robbery in Dublin..... Not a cheep, not a bl0ody cheep... :020:

[Heilandee]

Eh but that ane was in bad taste,dreadful taste........i'm told

[Johnboy]

To some, maybe, to some....

I was surprised my old & trusted friend FW never mentioned it.... It's a subject in which she has plenty of first hand experience....... :005:

Tasteless jokes, that is...... :006:

[Alex MacLeod]

Everyone assumes the park in question was Ibrox. In fact it was Calderpark........that other, now defunct, Glasgow animal santuary.

[Northern_jaggie]

so the 49000 rangers fans came for a match one day, and the other 17000 came from the social club then went home after shug answered the question?is that it?

[Johnboy]

No... Pay attention Jaggie.... It was 51,000 at the ground & 17,000 at the Anti-social club.

To participate in the full mirth & merriment of Absent Friend's joke it is essential that the figures quoted are the correct ones.......

:014: :014:

[CaleyD]

You obviously had to be there to get the joke.  I can only assume the funny part is in the removal of his socks and shoes (in that order) to help him count.

[Johnboy]

If 68,000 Rangers fans had removed their shoes & socks, the smell created would have been no laughing matter...!!

AF.... Have you got any more jokes for us?

:023: :023:

[Heilandee]

I thought that neck of the woods was renowned for "only havin one shoe" in the words of the song so the pong would only be half as bad as anticipated  :icon_sars: :icon_sars:
