Ahh, bet it didn't flatten the battery!

The chef's name is Gervais...Warning: Do not attempt to retell this joke from memory after a few pints - you will forget part of the punchline.
A man sits down in a restaurant and after looking over the menu decides upon the squid. The waiter disappears and comes back with a tank full of them and asks which one sir would like.
A bit perturbed, the diner inspects the creatures and spies a pale olive coloured one with an enormous moustache, "I'll have that one" he says.
The waiter fishes it out, disappears into the kitchen and hands it to the chef.
Chef raises his cleaver, looks the squid in the eye and says 'I don't know what's come over me, I can't do it'
Slightly miffed, the waiter goes over to the German intern and interrupts him from his pot washing - 'just kill this for chef will you' he says
The intern grabs the cleaver, raises it and finds that he too can't bring himself to do the deed.
Quite unhappy now, the waiter returns to the diner and asks if he'd mind choosing a different one.
'What's wrong with my first choice?' he asks
'Oh nothing at all sir, its just Hans that does dishes can be soft as your face with mild green, hairy-lipped squids'
I'm here all week
Which is convenient seeing as that's about how long that took to type!
Dropping the "t" in "tsunami" is akin to pronouncing "home, hot, hope" etc without the "h"......
Probably best if forgotten completely. Along with other tortured wordplay, like the cat who chewed your new shoes.The chef's name is Gervais...

Umm, ? ?
I remember them with a great deal of fondness. What wonderful wordsmiths they both were.Probably best if forgotten completely. Along with other tortured wordplay, like the cat who chewed your new shoes.
Just my opinion, and laying myself open to "let's see you do better".
On the other hand, I used to enjoy the improvised phrase mangling by Dennis Norden and Frank Muir at the close of "My Word!" on The Home Service, maybe because it was improvised, or possibly because I was nine.
The one I remember from Frank Muir, almost word for me word, is the derivation of the book title '1984'. A long and convoluted tale involving Cornish birds, political parties, Tintern Abbey and London mud worms but the punch line was:-Probably best if forgotten completely.
