Happy Phantom writes, "Sometimes - by planning or happy accident - you achieve something with which you are quite pleased, but which makes little or no difference to the rest of the world.
"This morning, I woke up and spontaneously farted the opening three notes from The Frog Chorus."

I entered a new 'mother-in-law' joke competition run by a bloke-based wedding website
and got second place behind Dave Spikey but beat Shappi Khorsandi and Gary Delaney.
As reported in the Daily Mail:

and plenty of other news papers/websites.
No prize except kudos and the vague hope that loads of people were wondering who the shuddering fuck I was and did I have a DVD out for Christmas.

You were outed in the paper as being less funny than Dave Spikey?
I'd have sued for libel.

They didn't even use my best one:
My wife said we should do something nice for the mother-in-law's 70th birthday. Now I'm just waiting for a Groupon for Dignitas.

No.
They're better jokes, written by funnier people.
