They met again after many years,
Two old mates.
They spoke of old times,
Those times when life was ahead of them.
“How is your wife?”
Came the question,
“Oh my first wife died?”
“Oh I am sorry to hear that, what happened?”
“She was poisoned,
Poisoned by mushrooms”
“That is so sad, so you remarried?”
“Yes that I did,
She died as well”
“What happened to her?”
“She suffered a blow on the head”
“That is awful, how did that happen?”
“She wouldn’t eat the bloody mushrooms!!”

Oh lol. Wasn't this in a 'Carry On' film?' They're quite old now, but not quite as old as 1066.
Thanks Orchi.
Thats an old favourite and even though i knew the punch line it brought a big smile to my face. Thank you Goldfinch.
It is probably even older than I am and that is saying something!
Thanks for that - first smile of the 'working' week.
Work? WORK! Oh yes I remember that but that was a few years ago now.
This is the oldest joke in the world Andy:-
'There's nothing like a good joke ~ and that was nothing like a good joke!'.........still makes people laugh though so well done.
Ex animo, Alan

Laughter is the finest medicine.
lol,send me some mushrooms
I need to go and collect them first ron - I have run out!

I agree with his second wife. Mushrooms are gross. Don't get me wrong, it's not the taste - it's the consistency. A good bit of fun.
Thanks Nicholas. Fun is always good.
I enjoy mushrooms and cook them many ways.
Shrooms are great, could even be fate, no wife should be had that won't enjoy natures taste....
Was not expecting this, great one!
Thank you
