Excellent! I wonder which came first - this or Mark Steele. He did a series on scientists in history. The other one which made me laugh was, while dresseh up as Newton with a 'Newton's Cradle' in front of him he demonstrated his theory of gravity not by using it but by smashing the whole thing into a vase at the end of the table.

Here is Mark Steel's lecture on Freud.
I put an extraneous 'e' on his name in earlier posts:

Here is his lecture on Newton. The demonstration using Newton's Crasle is at about 9.15 minutes.

What do you get when you cross an agnostic, a dyslexic, and an insomniac? ... a person who stays up all night wondering if there really is a dog.

Then there was the dyslexic devil worshipper who sold his soul to Santa.

For Passover:


It scares me that I get that joke.

Note a joke, but sad, and related: Recently the AP reported that when in mourning Jews sit and shiver.


Who paid for the last supper?
Jesus got nailed for it.

It's a play on the the words night and knight. The translation of the phrase the knight uttered is "Why is tonight different from all other nights?"

Thanks a lot. Funny indeed.

Courtesy of the immortal Phil Proctor (though I have an idea I heard it before now)

A guy walked into a crowded bar waving his unholstered pistol, and yelled, "I have a .45 caliber Colt 1911 with a seven-round magazine plus one in the chamber, and I want to know who's been sleeping with my wife."

Avoice from the back of the room called out, "You need more ammo!"

adding to my collection of Jewish Jokes (stolen from Gilbert Gottfried - um, don't tell it if you're not Jewish?):

A Jewish couple goes to the doctor because they're having trouble in the bedroom. The doctor says, "there's an operation I can do on the husband that'll change everything. If you get it, it'll fix all the troubles with your sex-life. You'll be delighted. The operation will cost 900$. I want you to go home and think about this and come back tomorrow and tell me your decision. It costs 900$, but it will transform your love-making."
The next day the couple comes back and the doctor asks them what they've decided.
They reply, "we've decided to redo the kitchen cabinets."
