Hi Oracle,

If "I" say he was Hijacking then you can take it too the bank, this Thread is about "Cooperisms" and is a Tribute to the Humour that was and is "Tommy Cooper", if he wanted to talk about Henny Youngman then he can do a Topic on Him and not Piss on my Parade.

Regards, Danny

PS, I know that there were many Comedians both before and after Tommy Cooper that did "One Liners" but Tommy was the Best Comedian and the Funniest Man ever to Grace my TV screen, bar none. In my honest opinion.

A man goes into the doctors. The doctor says, 'Go over to the window and stick your tongue out.'

Man says, Why? The doctor says, 'I don't like my neighbours'

Two Aerials meet on a roof - fall in love - get married. The ceremony was rubbish but the reception was brilliant.

Now, most dentist's chairs go up and down, don't they? The one I was in went back and forwards. I thought 'This is unusual' .And the dentist said to me, 'Mr Cooper, get out of the filing cabinet.

''Doc, I can't stop singing the green green grass of home. 'That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome'.'Is it common?' 'It's not unusual.'

Meet me just left of the Icelandic Volcano at about 9 tonight, I'll be there 3 hours before you though, GMT, bring a second and 2 single shot pistols, if that doesn't suffice then we will have to resort to fisty cuffs, i must tell you I'm a 9th Degree Black Belt in Hair Pulling, Eye Gouging, Nose Biting, Finger Bending, Spitting and Foot Stomping, so if you wanna pull out now I will understand, then we can just taunt each other across the pond for an hour or so, that's f you like?

You didn't get Tommy? well that's a shame, he might not seem as funny to you as he does to us as i know how humour sometimes doesn't travel well, you only have to look at the humourless Krauts and Frogs for that but we English will laugh at anything including ourselves.

Don't worry about the hijacking of my thread, I'm nearly done with it now so if you wanna post something feel free, only ask next time, OK?

Tommy Cooper found in meat pie

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6336679/Tommy-Cooper-found-in-meat-pie.html

A fish shop owner, Crad Jones, found a vision of comic legend Tommy Cooper in the pastry of a meat pie.

Mr Jones reckons the markings on the steak pie are the spitting image of the fez-wearing comedian - just like that!.

The 45 year-old said other customers recognised it as Cooper who was born in the same town in Caerphillly, South Wales.

He said: "I was about to eat my lunch in the shop when I noticed the resemblance of Tommy Cooper on the bottom of it.

"The comparison was amazing. It was definitely Tommy Cooper - I always thought he was great.

"I called my daughter over and she recognised it as Tommy Cooper too. I got the pictures because I thought no-one would believe me."

Mr Jones owns The Codfather's Plaice in Trethomas, Caerphilly, where Tommy was born in 1921.

Tommy died on stage in April 1984 aged 63. He is commemorated with a bronze statue of him placed in the centre of Caerphilly - officially unveiled by one of his biggest fans, actor Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Fun-loving Mr Jones saw the funny side of Cooper in the £1.60 premier steak pie made by local baker's Peters Pies.

He said: "Tommy has always been in the upper crust as far as I'm concerned.

"But I ate the pie straight after the pictures were taken. It went down a treat - just like that!"

* One of Tommy's favourite jokes was: "I popped into my local the other day and had the shepherd's pie. He was furious."

I phoned the local gym and I asked if they could teach me how to do the splits. He said, "How flexible are you?" I said, "I can't make Tuesdays."

"He said 'I'm going to chop off the bottom of one of your trouser legs and put it in a library'. I thought 'That's a turn-up for the books.'"

"And the back of his anorak was leaping up and down, and people were chucking money to him. I said 'Do you earn a living doing that?' He said 'Yes, this is my livelihood.'

"So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me "Can you give me a lift?" I said "Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.'"

"You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine.' So that was nice."
