Does anyone remember a joke I posted on here about a Chiropractor?

I think that I posted it about a week back

My mind's gone AWOL.

Sometimes I remember more than I need to. Yet, I forget what I ought to recall.

My memory goes back to at least half past eight this morning. :-D

What day is it?

Allan

Allan Report 9 May 2021 13:23

Very profound, Dermot.

Perhaps today is Lunaday. It all depends on how the calendar is manipulated ;-)

Surely not, JoyLouise, don't you remember some Northern phrases?

JoyLouise

JoyLouise Report 9 May 2021 17:26

From my home town, Allan - butties, queen (not in the context it is now used, of course), keks.

From my adopted home - Why aye man!

Allan

Allan Report 9 May 2021 21:53

Well it would seem that after 59 views only two people have seen the actual joke :-(

Sometimes my humour is too subtle ;-)

JoyLouise, have you never used the phrase "A couple of days back" instead of 'A couple of days ago' ?

ZZzzz

ZZzzz Report 9 May 2021 22:34

I get your humour Allan, mine is like that. Keks is trousers I think

You have me in a dayze, Allan. :-D

Yes, I have heard the phrase 'a couple of days back'. My OH uses it but I have never done so.

You're right about keks, ZZzzz. It waa a word my Gran always used for trousers..

Allan

Allan Report 9 May 2021 23:45

Ahh! A breakthrough :-D

Now, go back to my original post and re-read it. I'm sure that there is a pun somewhere in there ;-)

JoyLouise

JoyLouise Report 9 May 2021 23:52

I think we all got it in your original post, Allan, but perhaps we were too subtle with our responses.

We are so used to you now. ;-) :-D

Allan

Allan Report 10 May 2021 00:07

Extremely subtle :-D :-D

Bedtime here so I am going up the dancers to get my head down now. :-D
