Now let me tell you that some of you may say this is an old joke and you've heard it before! Well of coarse you have seeing as you lot are closer to sixty five years of age than you are fifty years old so this is for the younger generations.

Young jimmy was playing with his grandfathers rabbit trap when he caught it with his fingers and started to cry. Old Pop picked him up and sat him on his knee to comfort him. Now jimmy said old Pop years ago I was a rabbit trapper and I made a few bob to pay the bills and this day while I was trapping I got a case of the diahrea so I drops me dacks and squatted over a log well I slips a little and one of my pieces of my pride and joy fell into the jaws of the rabbit trap. GEE Grand dad that must of hurt, well not as much as it did when I got to the end of the chain.


bill the old battler

...how did I know you would say that Bill?...

The good thing about that joke Bill, is in another ten years no-one will know what a rabbit trap is!

Ya missed out the punch line Bill ( to the end of the chain ! )

Senior moment. Brain Fart !

Even some of us in the younger generation have heard that one

Now Bill, can you sing the old song,

I am a rabbit trapper
And a canny bunny snapper.
And I whistle through the bushland
Like the birds up in the trees.....

Can you do the whistling bit....

...yeah Bill, print the whistle here so we can close our eyes and listen to it!...
