Maybe at 90 pages Ted's servers are starting to sag at the edges. Time to start "Son of Sean Connery joke thread"?

My joke's gone!

In case you missed it......

I said:

Subject: For the Fisherman...


A young Newfoundlander moves to California and goes to a big
mega-department
store looking for a job.

The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"

The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Newfoundland."

Well, the boss liked the Newfoundland kid (of course) so he gave him the
job.

"You can start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you
did."

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the
store
was locked up, the boss came down. "How many sales did you make today?"
the
boss asked.

The kid says, "One."

The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 sales a day.
How
much was the sale for?"

The kid says, "$101,237.64?

The boss exclaimed, "What did you sell?"

The kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a
medium
fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new
fishing
rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the
coast,
so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat
department and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he
didn't
think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive
department and sold him that 4 x 4 Blazer."

The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a
boat and truck?"

The kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife
and
I said, ' Well, your weekend's shot -- you might as well go fishing.' "

Bleeding ancient! The one I just posted was:

Beckhams’ show of support for Jacko

In a move designed to show support for Michael Jackson at his trial this week, David and Victoria Beckham invited the singer-superstar to join them on their yacht to help unwind after the trial. The Beckhams are thought to be holidaying in the South of France on their 150-ft luxury Sunseeker yacht moored up in an exclusive bay outside St Tropez.

The Beckhams’ relationship with Jackson goes back as far as the 2001 Grammy Awards when Jackson played host to a lavish party for stars at his Neverland Ranch, centre of controversy in the latest court case. Commenting on the Beckhams’ offer, an upbeat Michael Jackson commented, “I can’t wait to come on their little cruise”.

How did you do that? If I go to the thread itself they're still not visible! No one likes a smarty pants...
