At the b3ta-bash on Saturday
A number of us were outside smoking, and a homeless gentleman came up and asked if any of us would "sponsor a tramp".

As I'm King Of The Tramps^TM, I had a "lucky rummage"* and gave him £1.10.

He then told us a joke:

This was near Great Portland Street.
He didn't give us his name.

aww no
I met Comedy Bob in Leeds. He was going around groups of people telling jokes. He was hilarious. Every one gave him money.

Other hobo's were unimpressed.

Ask me for money in 1997. The reason this sticks in my mind is after being told I didn't have any (which I didn't) he said:

"Ach, that's fine. i always say 'it's no shame being poor, but it's damned inconvenient!"

Poor old sod. He's probably dead now.

Why do the ladies love Jesus?


Because he's hung like this - *spreads arms out*

A lot funnier when told by a drunk homeless man bantering for cash at 10 in the morning.
