happy Halloween!
Okay, why didn't the skeleton cross the road?
* because he didn't have the guts.
(Little Miss B tells me she read this joke last week on a crisp packet. I am so class...)

reminds me of:
Q: what happened to the man who picked his nose for 3 hours?
A: his head caved in.
can't remember where that came from - not a crisp packet.
Andie, EW! But you may win.
I should admit here that I am too crap even to have got my joke from a crisp packet; my daughter told me that in disgust at the lameness of the joke I had just told her.
