TOTP - Top Ten Burning Questions

Aaron from near Swansea has a great list of burner questions he just had to ask us. We couldn't resist answering them on todays show. Why not join in at home and turn to a loved one to ask them the following questions?:-

  • 10 - Describe your perfect day
  • 9 - Who is the last person you spoke to on the telephone?
  • 8 - If you could invite any 3 people to dinner alive or dead who would they be?
  • 7 - Where was your last holiday?
  • 6 - How do you get your own way?
  • 5 - What did you spend your first pay on?
  • 4 - If you could have any super power what would it be?
  • 3 - What in your mind is the worst job ever?
  • 2 - What do you see yourself doing in ten years time?
  • 1 - What is your favourite joke?

We want to hear some of your answers on to these questions, especially your ideas about numbers 8,4,3 and 1 - pop them on our comments board on www.topofthepods.com.

We heard an audio comment from a listener today - he didn't have any special software and neither do you, just go to Evoca and record your comments from there.

For some reason my favourite jokes are the really bad, childish ones, like:
Q: What's brown and sticky?
A: A stick.

My mental age is about 5.

1. A couple go to Las Vegas for their honeymoon. In the hotel lobby they see a sign advertising the evening entertainment in the bar: “The Amazing Benny”. So they go to the bar and on to the stage comes Benny, an old man who walks with a limp, carrying a small table with three walnuts. He unbuttons his flies, brings out his p*nis and smashes the walnuts with it – bang, bang, bang! The crowd applaud and cheer for an hour. Thirty years the couple return to the same hotel in Las Vegas to celebrate their wedding anniversary. In the hotel lobby they see a sign advertising the evening entertainment in the bar: “The Amazing Benny”. The husband asks the receptionist whether this is the same guy who performed there thirty years previously, who confirms affirmatively. The couple rush to the bar and on to the stage comes Benny, who by now is bald, has no teeth but still walks with a limp, carrying a small table with three coconuts. He unbuttons his flies, brings out his p*nis and smashes the coconuts with it – bang, bang, bang! While the crowd applaud and cheer, the husband goes backstage to congratulate Benny. “I saw you here thirty years ago when you did the same act, except with walnuts”, he says, to which Benny replies “Yeah, and I still used walnuts up to last year, but my eyesight isn’t so good these days”.

Rob, John,

China was the funniest answer I have ever heard to the "superpower" question. Without your permission I shall use this from now on. More comedy value than "x-ray specs"

John - Keep up the good work.

Here's a pretty long joke

I walking along and I see this guy standing over a bridge about to throw himself off. I run up to him and say "don't do it! You've got so much to live for"
The guy says "You're wrong, I've got nothing to live for"

"Wait" I say, "Are you a religious man?"

"Yes I am"

"Hey me too! Are you a Christian?"

"I am"

"Same! Are you a Catholic or a Protestant?"

"I'm a Protestant"

"Me also! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"

"Baptist"

"Hey we have so much in common! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?"

"I'm Baptist Church of God"

"Me too! Are you original or Reformed Baptist Church of God?"

"I'm Reformed Baptist Church of God"

"So am I!! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God Reformation 1862 or Reformed Baptist Church of God Reformation 1917?"

He says "I'm Reformation 1917"

I say "DIE, heretic scum!" and push him off the bridge.
