Yorkshire Humour 6

Upon parking in a no parking zone a Pastor placed a message on his car. “I have repeatedly circled this block I have an appointment to keep ‘Forgive us our trespasser’s’” Upon returning he found a further message attached to his car. “I’ve also repeatedly circled this block and if i don’t issue a ticket will lose my job. ‘Lead us not into temptation’” Anon Revived by Harry J Horsman 2010

G'day Harry … and deservedly so. I recall Arthur Daley using a sign 'doctor on call' on his dashboard - very funny Harry - Lindsay

Oh, I love this. Yes, that pastor shouldn't tempt the patrol guy. Too funny, Harry :)

Harry...great one.... I can just see this...I have tried to park in Canterbury many times and circled endlessly until a place came open. Listen to this...used a toilet today in Nairobi....as I flushed I noticed , stamped into the toilet bowl the words: Hindustani Adventures (Obviously they meant ventures...)

hahaha, gosh, harry, is this your own humor? i mean, sometimes I see people posting internet jokes on their poetry pages, but if this is your own made up joke, I have to tell you, it is outstanding!!

Love this. The title alone is great. This rivals some of Mandy's blogs. Would you mind if I sent it to my daughter?
