Caesar wandered into a taverna.
"Ey up, Jules! What can I get ya?"
"It's been a long day, matey...Senate stuff mainly...and this toga's making me sweat like a glassblower's buttocks... think I'll have a Martinus..."
"You mean a Martini, don't ya Jules?"
"If I'd wanted a double, I'd have asked for it..."

Two old chaps sitting on a bench one says "Now I am over 70 I hurt all over and can hardly Pee, the other says, "I now I am over 80 I feel like a new born baby, can's see very well, roll around on the floor to get up and pee when I least expect it"
 
It's funny, the things you hear people say in actual conversation - not jokes as such, but "sayings" that they use without thinking, but are new to you...
A Finnish friend of mine is like that. Maybe the things he says are just literal translations of Finnish sayings but I think they are originals from him. One classic was "You don't often find a good friend and a full wallet in the same trousers".

@Robbo3 : a heartbreaking work of breathtaking genius. The only points missing may perhaps have been the correct method of sharpening the bulb, and the correct ppe to use. And push sticks, obviously - no debate about that.
 
How much does a chimney cost? It's going through the roof!

And roof tiles? They are on the house.

How about the politics of changing light bulbs? I feel that Robbo failed to address that properly.
eta - I guess that's covered in the secret forum.
