Paul Lutus - 23.07.2025

travel programming books

I've just been re-reading an account of a sailing circumnavigation of the globe written by Paul Lutus. You should read it too - it's enthralling (i.m.h.o.). Links below.

Paul Lutus has had the sort of full and varied life which would be hard to make up. He has piloted light aircraft, written software for Apple, sailed around the world, designed spacecraft components for the NASA Space Shuttle and developed a world view that is hard not to agree with.

cartoon humour

It's rare than a political cartoon actually makes me laugh out loud. Enjoy.

video humour music

From Kenneth Williams 1967 LP "On Pleasure Bent". What a wonderful voice for a wonderful song. The album title is perfect too. You can find the rest of the LP here.

Dad jokes - 28.01.2021

humour

Here's my collection of very dubious jokes. It's getting quite long now, take a look below the fold (bumped up 10.06.2025):

How do you tell if a Yorkshireman is dyslexic? He’ll be wearing a cat flap on his head.

A Yorkshireman takes his cat to the vets. The vet asks "is it a Tom?" The Yorkshireman goes "No, I brought it with me."

A man from Barnsley went to get a gold sculpture of his beloved, deceased pet dog. The worker in the shop said "Will you be wanting it eighteen carat?" He said "No, just chewing a bone."

Glaswegian walks in to a bakers, points at a cake and says, "Is that a macaroon or a meringue?" The baker says, "No you're correct. It is a macaroon."

When I was a child we were so poor we had birthday parties in a launderette. Pass the Persil was a fun game though.

My wife wanted a little peace and quiet while I cooked the dinner, so I took the batteries out of the smoke alarm.

My friend was given a metal detector for his birthday present. He has only used it once, but he wore steel-toe-capped boots. He said: "I'm just finding my feet at the moment".

Askhole, n - one who wants advice then ignores it or complains

Just been assaulted in a health food shop! Someone threw a massive bottle of cod liver oil tablets at me.
Fortunately it's only super fish oil injuries

When one door opens another one closes. Other than that it's a pretty good car.

I used to work at a cats home, but I had to leave. They kept reducing meowers.

I just got some anti gloating cream. I can't wait to rub it in.

Nits are a terrible problem. You'd think people could get their heads together and come up with a solution.

My girlfriend just left me. She says my life revolves around football and she's sick of it.
I'm quite upset. We were together for five seasons.

I got caught stealing full stops...
I'm looking at a lengthy sentence.

I think my wife is covering my rifle collection with glue. She's denying it, but I'm sticking to my guns.

"I'm arresting you for downloading all of Wikipedia."
"Wait! I can explain everything!"

I hope that after I die, people will say: "He certainly owed me a lot of money!"
