A mate at work was going through these earlier. Obviously written down you don;t get the delivery which I am sure would have made them funnier but that isn't a brilliant list

The only thing I got out of it was that I didn't miss much by not being there. As for the rhetorical questions joke - I am sure that has been doing the rounds for decades?
