Joke of the week [266 = year 6, 6#] The Walker, Billy
Connolly (God 3) (August 20
- August 26)
There was a guy, a Glasgow guy, and he was out for a walk and he was doing "out-for-walk things". I'm not a great "go-for-walk" person, but he was doing whatever people going for walks do ... Go for a walk, walking. Oh, a tree, I'm glad I came. Oh, there's a bird, what a walk this is turning out to be! And he was walking along some cliffs ... He went along those cliffs and the sea was pounding on the rocks beneath "POUND"! Oh, sea pounding on rock, it's great. What a walk! Right! So, look at that, pounding. My legs are walking, they never think. And he fell off! To get straight to the point: over the top. And he was hurtling towards the sea, grabbing handfuls of fresh air as he went. "Help, I have fallen in mid-walk!" And he was passing ... there was a bush sticking out, a bush was sticking out of the cliff as he was passing it. (He) grabbed on (and) he's hanging there. "HELP! HELP! ANYBODY UP THERE? ANYBODY UP THERE? - [God in a soothing voice] "Yes, my son. I am up here, I am everywhere ... [Glasgow guy ] "Look, hey. I was out for a walk there and I slipped on something and I fell down here and I am hanging onto this bush. Bush here, I'm hanging on." - [God] "I know. I know all things, I see all things, I am the father of all things." - [Glasgow guy] "... very good. Look, I don't think you understand. I'm hanging onto this bush and my hand is getting sore, I can't hold much longer!" - [God] "I know. And your hand will get even sorer until you can stand the pain no longer, you'll let go and plummet to your death on the rocks below. But fear not, for you shall join me in heaven." - [Glasgow guy] "IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE UP THERE?" [Transcript of a live performance by Billy Connolly at The Rainbow Theatre, London (1977) ]
