JOKES by Martin King

So when you were younger you visited the Holy Grail of all shops – the Joke shop! I was fortunate to grow up in a shop with a fully fledged joke shop. Nowadays they are hard to come by, but even back then they didn’t encompass every street corner.

Do you remember the fake finger, the one with the nail straight through it and the blood painted on it? How was it even possible to believe that you could convince your parents that you had actually got a nail sticking in your finger? Looking back it was so fake.

Then there was Captain Windybottoms Fart Powder. And believe it or not, it actually worked. It was easy dropping it into your parent’s cuppa when they weren’t looking, but near on impossible getting anywhere near your mates drink.

This brings me nicely onto the whoopee cushion. The one item you hid under the cushion on the settee in time for the visit of Aunt Muriel. It seemed I was the only one who appreciated it. Why are parents so boring and fuddy-duddy?

Then there was blood capsules and snapits, those little white things you chucked on the ground and they made a faint ‘snap’ sound. Or what about the fake chewing gum, the one where you offered it to your friend and as they pulled it out, a spring snapped out and slammed on their finger.

But the ultimate joke has to be the fake dog turd!! Every kids perfect trick, placing it in the middle of the living room carpet. And to be totally honest, it was pretty real looking as well. But I’m not going to mention every joke, I will leave that to you.

These blogs are all about fun and sharing. Thank you for reading a ‘#100blogfest’ blog. Please follow this link to find the next blog in the series: http://martinkingauthor.com/blog/7094550076
