HOOVERING

HOOVERING



Currently on now, the Edinburgh Festival is the world’s largest arts and cultural festival in the world. The festival includes both the official Edinburgh International Festival and the unofficial Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

This year’s festival is the largest in its history, with nearly 50,000 performances of 3,193 shows in 299 venues in the city.

For the second time, the comedian Tim Vine has just won the Funniest Joke of The Fringe Award. Only short jokes can be considered for the award, which makes it less surprising that Tim Vine wins as his repertoire is all about telling one-liners.

Tim Vine’s winning joke went:
• "I've decided to sell my Hoover ... well, it was just collecting dust."

In 2010, he won with the joke:
• "I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again."

This year, over 7,000 jokes were considered for the award by a panel of judges. Six other commended jokes were:
• "I've written a joke about a fat badger, but I couldn't fit it into my set." (Masai Graham)
• "Always leave them wanting more, my uncle used to say to me. Which is why he lost his job in disaster relief." (Mark Watson)
• "I was given some Sudoku toilet paper. It didn't work. You could only fill it in with number 1s and number 2s." (Bec Hill)
• "I wanted to do a show about feminism. But my husband wouldn't let me." (Ria Lina)
• "Money can't buy you happiness? Well, check this out, I bought myself a Happy Meal." (Paul F Taylor)
• "Scotland had oil, but it's running out thanks to all that deep frying." (Scott Capurro)

The panel of judges also drew up a shortlist of the worst jokes, including this one from the winner:
• "I'd like to start with the chimney jokes - I've got a stack of them. The first one is on the house." (Tim Vine)

I actually like Tim Vine’s worst joke than his best joke about his Hoover. Hoover is one a few nouns named after the brand. Other branded nouns that I can think of are sellotape, post-it, tippex and bikini.

What joke do you like the best?
Do you ever do housework naked?
Can you think of any other branded nouns?

I think the hoover joke is the best.

Never do housework naked....too cold for that.

"g00gle"...never heard anyone say "bing" it lol.

They were all fairly good jokes, but not exactly side-splitters. I do admire the talent of these comedians though, and their courage.......

1. Has to be the toilet paper joke.
2. Nope, though I do dance.
3. The first one that sprung to mind was 'google'.

Good one, to google is a common verb nowadays. I wonder whether it's so popular in America as Google doesn't dominate the search engine market quite so much over there as here.

I think you should do a blog about your naked cleaning!

Xerox is a good one. Some people in the UK say xeroxing, though I say photocopying.

    The "Hover Dam"!
    Do you ever do housework naked?
    No me but I try to talk my girlfriend into naked house work!
    Can you think of any other branded nouns?
    MicroSoft!
I hope your girlfriend gets persuaded to do naked housework, but surely it would help her to go naked if you took the lead!

    I have, very rarely, do housework in the nude.

    Durex, liquid paper (invented by Micky Dolenz, from the Monkees' mum), Kleenex
Durex and Lleenex are good ones to add to the pot.
I didn't know Micky Dolenz invented liquid paper. Thanks for that snippet.

Kleenex and Scotch Tape are good, but can you buy Scotch Tape now? Sellotape looks as if they've cleaned up.

You're quite right they're not side splitters. I guess you had to be at the gig. Traditional jokes don't work so well in blogs.

I'd willingly help you to do your housework if you're wearing very little (or a lot)!

    Quoting AmeliaCox:
    It was Micky Dolenz' mother who invented Liquid Paper, not him... She was a secretary and hated scratching-out spelling mistakes and typos and strived to find a less unattractive way to hide the errors and go over them without making documents look ugly.
That's even more impressive of a snippet.

    Aaarrrggh! Shoot me. It was in fact Mike Nesmith's mother, Bette Nesmith who invented Liquid Paper, not Dolenz... Wrong Mike! I should have goog'd it before stating inaccurate facts on your blog. My bad! I'm very sorry.
Thanks for the update. Bette was a genius.
