    From a Christmas Cracker this time around:

    Doctor: I'm afraid you are suffering from hypochondria Mr. Williams.

    Patient: Oh no! Not that as well.

    Can Englishmen shpritz? Can they even understand the concept of shpritzing? Here is Rickles shpritzing with Eastwood on the set of "Kelly's Heroes," totally unwritten and unrehearsed, right off the top of Rickles' bald head. And Eastwood is so goyische he hardly understands half the gags.

    I wonder what Rickles would have done with Oddball...

    Wasn't sure if this was previously referenced (here on the whole site), there doesn't seem to be search return on LSM-51, perhaps as it was a US ship in the Philippines.

    In 1945, two sailors who were angry about being ordered to scrape and paint USS LSM-51 decided to write "FOR SALE" on the side. It wasn't until another ship signaled "how much do you want for it?" that the confused captain discovered the unauthorized ad. Fortunately for the culprits, the captain was unable to determine who was responsible.

    I have a joke about the Hawker Typhoon, but it falls off at the end.

    I also have a funny story about the Matilda tank, but it takes a while to get going.

    I've been watching re-runs of Peter Kay on YouTube lately. He came up with this cracker the other night:

    Husband: Why don't you ever tell me when you orgasm?

    Wife: Because I don't like to call you while you're at work!!
