A man is sitting outside a bar in a green jersey.

A kangaroo walks past and offers the man a cigarette.

The man stands, pulls out a trombone, and plays a few notes.

The kangaroo keels over.

Why?

Easy, the kangaroo has a compulsion to give out cigarettes to strangers wearing green. It is also allergic to trombones. The man is trying to quit smoking, and uses spontaneous trombone playing as a coping mechanism.

A walking kangaroo?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Is it just a made up load of old tosh?

I love it. If that's not the right answer, it should be.

Sorry, can't help you with your Kangaroo question, but:-

A man walks into a cafe and asks for a fried breakfast

He asks that the fried bread be put in the middle of the plate, the baked beans at the bottom, the bacon to the left of the fried bread, the sausage to the right, and scrambled eggs at the top.

How can the waiter tell he's a member of the Salvation Army?

 

[srw]

Because he's wearing Salvation Army uniform.

 

[Brandane]

WELL!!

Yep, after nearly 3 years it's about time you told us @User !
