Joke - The elderly couple who moved to Texas

Bedlam - Humour.

Many thanks to John Evans for sending this joke.

An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved from their little terraced house in deepest, darkest Bradford, to Texas in the USA.

Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, now that he was in America, and seeing some on sale, he bought a pair and wore them home. Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, 'Notice anything different about me?'

Margaret looked him over. 'Nope!'

Bert went into the hallway, took off his jacket, gave his boots a quick shine and went back in again. 'What about now? See anything different?'

Margaret gave him a cursory glance. 'Nope!'

Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, took off all his clothes and walked back into the kitchen completely naked now, except for the boots. He asked a little louder this time, 'Notice anything different NOW?'

Margaret looked up and exclaimed, 'Bert, what's different? It's hanging down. It was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow!'

Furious, Bert yelled, 'AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?'

'Nope', she replied.

'IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!'

Without batting an eyelid Margaret said, 'Maybe you shoulda bought a hat instead, Bert.'

I loved that one, John. Keep them rolling. If YOU liked the joke, please spread the word by giving it a thumbs-up on Stumble below.
