Yes I've been telling the kermit joke in the pub for a few weeks now - each time I tell it I add a bit to it to maintain the interest of those that have heard it. I made this joke up yesterday:
On the island of Goa in the Indian Ocean the inhabitants were getting fed up with the heat. 'What we need is a cool drink to cool us down' said one. 'let's build a cider factory to make nice cool cider' said another.
So they built the cider factory but found that it was too cold inside for any of them to work. They decided to train a family of chimpamzees to do it for them. All went well until the youngest chimpanzee, despite his hairy coat began to feel the cold.
'I'm cold Mum!' he complained to his mother.
'Okay son I'll get you a nice warm overcoat to keep you warm'. Which she did and all was well again until one day one of the buttons fell off of his coat. So as not to bother his mother the young chimp decided to sew the button on for himself. He did this while still wearing the coat and when he was finished he was shocked to find that he had sewn the button onto his own skin through the coat.
He started to tug at the button to get it off and while he was doing this he lost his balanced and tumbled into the vat of cider.
'Mum, Mum - help me!' he cried as he splashed about in the cider. His mother heard his cries and came running. He told her what had happened and she burst out laughing.
With that the father chimpanzee came up and asked the mother chimpanzee what was wrong and she said:
(to the tune of 'I don't like Mondays')
'Silly Goan chimp in cider said he's stitched to overcoat'
(Perhaps I shouldn't give up my day job
)
