Good old Billy

[mininut2]

Hopefully this one hasn't been on before

Billy was at school this morning in the English countryside and the
teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living. All the
typical answers came out, fireman, policeman, salesman, chippy, captain of
industry etc., but Billy was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher
asked him about his father.

"My father is an exotic dancer in a gay club and takes off all his
clothes in front of other men. Sometimes if the offer is really good,
he'll go out with a man, rent a cheap hotel room and let them sleep with him."

The teacher quickly set the other children some work and took little
Billy aside to ask him if that was really true.

"No" said Billy, "He plays cricket for England but I was just too
embarrassed to say."

Don't you just love the flexibility of the golden oldie jokes, the punch line is always a winner

I'm confused.
Is this like the foopball scene, where some games have consolation points if you miss, while others have really tall posts, but you've got to get the ball in the net at the bottom? And some games use ovoid balls while others use round ones. No-one has tried a square ball yet, have they?
Is dad playing for the English National team, the UK (if it still exists - witness Scotland - but then, they don't play cricket, they play bagpipes ) the ODI (whatever that is!), Big Bash (now that I understand!!), LBW (?), 110NO (also ?), County, or someone else?

Well after that I sure am confused (more than usual) BTW what is foopball?

Dottie,

Your edjakayshun is sadly lacking!

Have you not read "I Hate Skule" by Adrian Molesworth?

He has a younger bro he refers to as Molesworth Minor ('I diskard him.'), hates 'skule', and particularly foopball! (Which is otherwise known as "Rugger" in the UK.)
Very funny book. Probably available as an e-book now. If not, maybe your local library will have a copy... probably in the 'Junior Reader' section.
There was a series of about three books, from (faulty) memory... can't remember the other titles. A search of 'Adrian Molesworth' might be rewarding.

How's that for getting completely OT!!
