The Old Jokes Are The BestA Story by Christine PetersToday's Stand-up Comedians don't tell jokes like they used to not that long ago. They mostly relate to their 'Observations' or 'Personal' experiences. I so miss the old-time jokes or even stories, so here to help cheer everybody up during this 'Lockdown' crisis is one I remember so much.., There was this very old lady living alone in a big house - that is, but for her pet parrot in which she kept close company in her upstairs living room. One day she left the parrot alone for sometime when she went out to visit one of her old friends. She left early and in such a hurry to catch the bus that her front door remained slightly ajar. A few hours later a man stepped through the opened door and shouted up the stairs, “Hello! Anybody in?” The parrot squalled out from the living room above., “Who Dat?” The man shouted back., “It's the Gas-man.., I've come to check your meter!” The Parrot screeched back.., “Who Dat! Who Dat!” “It's the Gas-man.., I've come to check your meter!” “Who Dat! Who Dat!” “It's the Gas-man.., I've, I've come to check your meter!” “Who Dat! Who Dat!” This 'to n' fro' went on for hours until finally the Gas-man said.., “It's..., it's.., it's the Gas-man.., I've come., come to check..,” Then he dropped down dead. A good few hours later, the old lady returned home and as she stepped through her door into the hallway, she caught sight of a man lying at the foot of her stairs. She immediately screeched out “Who Dat -- Who Dat?” The parrot screeched back.., “It's the Gas-man.., He's come to check your meter!”
