### A professor at Oxford University is retiring after a brilliant career spanning several decades.

At the farewell dinner, all his fellow professors and colleagues gather to congratulate him, thank him for his service, and give rousing speeches about how great his contribution to the University and the world has been.

Someone proposes a toast, and just as they begin, there’s a flash of light accompanied by divine music, and … there in front of the gathering is an Angel from heaven. Turns out that the gods have also been impressed by the professor.

The Angel turns to the professor and says “Sir, you have been an exceptional human being and an inspirational teacher. As a mark of appreciation from the gods themselves, I have been asked to grant you a Wish: you can choose between Infinite Wisdom and Infinite Wealth. Speak, sir, what would you have?”

Without hesitating, the professor chooses Infinite Wisdom.

“So be it”, says the Angel, waves a wand, and then vanishes.

A dim halo appears around the professor’s head.

The gathering has been stunned into silence by all this. Finally someone finds the voice to speak, and tells the professor “well… say something”.

The professor says, “I should have taken the money”.

True story:

I had a Scottish colleague at work and we got to talking about a wonderful single malt whisky he had at home. I showed great interest and he told me he would bring it to the office the next day “for a sniff.”

I figured that was a Scottish term for having a drink and I said I looked forward to it.

Next day sure enough he brought out the bottle, pulled out the stopper, stuck the bottle under my nose and said, here, sniff.

The next week Fred’s wife asked if she could go golfing with him.

Fred hit a massive slice on the seventh hole. The course was next to a farm, and the ball landed on the far side of a barn that was nearby.

Fred’s wife said “I have an idea- if we open the large doors at each end of the barn, and you hit the ball just right, it’ll sail through the barn and end up right on the fairway”. Fred agreed it was worth a try.

But Fred hit the ball too high-- it bounced off a barn rafter and hit his wife on the head, killing her instantly.

Months later Fred decided, as part of the healing process, to go back and play the same golf course. This time he went with a friend. Fred hit another massive slice at the very same tee, and the ball ended up again at the far side of the barn. His friend said “I have an idea- if we open the large doors at each end of the barn, and you hit the ball just right, it’ll…”

“STOP RIGHT THERE!” Said Fred. “Are you _ **crazy** _?” Don’t you know the horrible, tragic result, the last time I tried that?!?"

“I double-bogeyed”.

### Doctor Who has been filmed all over Britain

but there is one place that the makers of the show have been adamant that they will never film in.

By the sea, there is a lovely city called Brighton, which has two rather prominent piers.

And it’s these piers that are the reason the show makers refuse to bring The Doctor there, because as everyone knows, there is nothing a time traveler hates more than a pair o’ docks.

# A Selection from _The Morecambe Wise Joke Book_

Hello! Long time no see. How are you?  
_Fine, thanks._  
Got a job yet?  
_Got a terrific job._  
Great! What are you doing?  
_I work in the circus — mucking out the elephants._  
Mucking out the elephants? How many are there of them?  
_Twenty-five._  
Twenty-five elephants! How much do they pay you?  
_Seven pounds fifty pence a week._  
Seven pounds fifty a week for mucking out twenty-five elephants! That’s  
terrible! If I were you, I’d chuck it all in and get an office job.  
_What, and give up show business?_  
Is there any chance of advancement?  
_There might be — they’ve just fired the human cannon-ball. And they’re_  
_looking for someone of the same calibre._  
Wait a minute — you were with the circus before. You were engaged to  
a lady contortionist. What happened?  
_She broke it off._  
Very painful. You must have show business in your blood.  
_I have. When I was eight I ran away with a circus._  
Really?  
_Yes. Then, when I was nine, they made me bring it back again. So after that_  
_I decided to go into the theatre. My father had given me a drum and told me_  
_to beat it._  
But you were still a child! How did you support yourself?  
_I taught piano playing._  
Taught piano playing?  
_Yes, I taught piano playing was easy — but I soon learned it was hard. So I_  
_started to practise on the sly — which is a lot more difficult than practising_  
_on the piano._
