Heard a funny joke years ago from Les Dawson and forgot the punchline. Heard it again about 2 years ago ...and my husband turned the TV over just before the punchline...I went crazy, but by the time he'd turned it back the joke was over, the audience was laughing. Every now and again I think...I'm going to go to my grave wondering what that punchline was.
I've looked on google and asked Jeeves and colleagues and friends and no-one has heard of it. So I thought I'd try here.
Please appreciate this is a Les Dawson joke and is done with some face pulling expressions...not meant to offend.
A man and his 2 daughters and wife who have some facial deformities are going to bed one night.
The dad says to one daughter: "Daughter dear can you blow out the candle?" Daughter dear tries but when she blows, the air escapes out the left side of her mouth and so the candle stays lit.
The dad says: "Other daughter can you do it please?" Other daughter tries but the air escapes out of the right side of her nouth and again the candle stays lit.
Dad asks his wife, but when she blows, she blows upwards..candle stays lit.
I'll do it myself he says, but when he blows, he blows down...candle stays lit.
Just then the dad sees the local vicar passing by and shouts him over and asks him to blow the candfle out. The vicar, licks his finger and thumb and extinguishes the flame between them.
The dad says............the punchline....
That's the bit I don't know. Can anyone help?????? This is a serious request, it's so frustrating not knowing!
Appreciate it if anyone knows.
