JOKES FOR FRANK WITH THANKS TO JACK DRUNKEN RAMBLING A drunk came staggering into a pub one afternoon, perched himself unsteadily on a stool and said: “Hey barman! Gimme a wubble diskey!” The barman stared at him for a moment, scratched his head, then realised the bloke wanted a double whiskey. He’d obviously had a few too many, but the barman was so amused at the drunk’s words, he served him. The bloke knocked back the drink and demanded another. “Another wubble diskey!” he called. “Another wubble diskey, ‘cos I’m going shabbit rooting.” “Do what?” queried the barman. Then he realised what the drunk had said, and burst out laughing. “Rabbit shooting! You’re going rabbit shooting,” said the barman. “Too right, mate,” said the drunk. “An’ I wanna wubble diskey, ‘cos I’m gunna grab me rusty trifle an’ go shabbit rooting.” The barman, trying not to laugh any more, served the drunk. “Thanks, mate,” the drunk said. “I’m gunna jump in me Crand Luiser, scread for the hub and root shabbits.” “You want a double whiskey, you’re going to grab your trusty rifle, jump in your Land Cruiser, head for the scrub and shoot rabbits,” the barman translated, serving the man his drink. The barman was still laughing when the drunk headed for the door. “What was all that about?” another customer asked. The barman grinned. “That drunk,” he explained. “Got all his words muddled up. He said he wanted a wubble diskey and he was going to grab his rusty trifle, jump in his Crand Luiser, scread for the hub and root shabbits. “You know what? It shickled the tit out of me!”
