To wonder why a man in the office next to mine asked whether I've ever got a train to work?

I told him I haven't, but was just shocked that he would think I have. I work in an office, why does he assume that I can fix trains? Confused

Boom boom.

JeReviens · 23/10/2017 21:58

What? Fix what trains?

RJnomore1 · 23/10/2017 21:59

Ohhhh that's older than me! 😂

JeReviens · 23/10/2017 21:59

Oh I see. It's a joke.

Bugger me bandy. Unfunniest joke ever.

SciFiFan2015 · 23/10/2017 22:00

I don’t get it...what am I missing?

Bluntness100 · 23/10/2017 22:01

Oh right, I had to think about that,,,

Bluntness100 · 23/10/2017 22:01

A train to work, as in have you ever repaired a train, made a faulty one operational.

MaidOfStars · 23/10/2017 22:02

Did you get the train to work?

Did you commute to this workplace by train?
Or
Did you fix the train?

SciFiFan2015 · 23/10/2017 22:05

Ok. I think I get it. Terrible, terrible play on words complicated by the fact I get the train to work! Smile

Glumglowworm · 23/10/2017 22:31

Not even funny

BriechonCheese · 23/10/2017 22:33

Tell us another, Jim Davidson.

treaclesoda · 23/10/2017 22:36

I quite like it. Blush I like a play on words.

More Tommy Cooper than Jim Davidson I reckon Smile

Speaking of which, did anyone see the thing on Twitter recently where someone has posted excerpts from Jim Davidson's autobiography? It was really disturbing and quite upsetting.

BriechonCheese · 23/10/2017 22:37

Haha treacle I was just trying to pluck a shit, old comedian from the back of my head.

There are a lot of unnecessarily nasty, angry and bitchy people on here aren’t there? I posted an inoffensive, jokey comment - and look at some of the responses. I’m not bothered about me, and the reaction, but seriously, I think some of you need to look at your lives! Smile

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to get that even with the explanationHalloween Grin

MayorGoodway · 24/10/2017 18:36

Crap joke but only because I’m a bit rubbish and had to read it a few times before I got it.
Personally, I am more excited that the witches are back!

Now look here, OP!

Your opening post was extremely silly!

Which means I liked it.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 24/10/2017 18:48

I thought it was quite funny.

Mimsy123 · 24/10/2017 18:49

Thanks Smile I mean, seriously, we’ve probably all got enough to worry about but some of the responses to this had me shaking my head. I love it when people say something is crap, but offer nothing in response. Go on then, you lot who said it’s ‘crap’ etc. Tell us a joke.

InsomniacAnonymous · 24/10/2017 18:51

I don't understand why anyone had difficulty understanding the joke.

Daft. Grin

HanarCantWearSweaters · 24/10/2017 18:57

I love shit jokes. Like the one about the magic tractor who drove down the road and turned into a field.

ShimmeringBollox · 24/10/2017 18:59
Grin I laughed.
