Today's Joke fit for a 10 year-old
The daily e-mail giving details of the forthcoming edition of B.B.C.2's Newsnight frequently concludes with a 'joke fit for a ten year-old'; here is today's.


Customer: Worcester sauce crisps please.

Shopkeeper: Sorry, can't, it's off the shelves - cancer scare.

Customer: Oh right, Chinese chicken wings?

Shopkeeper: Ah, that's the same, cancer scare.

Customer: Hamburger Relish?

Shopkeeper: Cancer scare.

Customer: Sausage and mash?

Shopkeeper: Cancer scare.

Customer: Cottage pie?

Shopkeeper: Yes. ...no wait, cancer scare.

Customer: So, they're all off the shelves because of a cancer scare?

Shopkeeper: Yes.

Customer: (Sigh) Just give me a packet of fags then.

Shopkeeper: Certainly. £4.50 please.

1. Be sure to note the American translation:
packet of fags = pack of cigarettes

6. Sorry didn't see that one.
The punch-line would rather fail if the customer ended up buying a packet of gays as we don't tend to cause cancer...
