Would it be inappropriate just now for me to tell my only Bill Withers joke ?

I was going to say "too soon" but it's probably more like 20 years too late. ;)

The auld ones are the best ones, as Flure used to say.

Where is Flure ?

Could do with some of his gags on here.

Can I also add my apologies for the incorrect use of an apostrophe.

Very sloppy.

The point of the joke is its double meaning. The apostrophe is correct for one of these meanings, so you can stop fretting.

I think you are being too hard on yourself here. That apostrophe is required for the purposes of the joke. It's the apostrophe that makes it a joke. It only works because you can't hear an apostrophe. I could be in danger of over analysing this one a wee bit?

True.  I was a bit concerned for a few mins.

I'm so used to telling it rather than typing it.

Phew ! Cheers guys.

How do you turn a parrot into a soul singer ?

Correct it's a verbal joke that doesn't work as well written down.

Like the one about the boy who got sacked from the bakery because he was kneading a shite.
