Hi all

I attended the Fringe festival more than 10 years ago, and it was great. Edinburgh is such a nice place to be in August !

Cheers, Magic Sam

Edit: ...and, of course, a 'combine harvester' is a piece of agricultural, ahem, 'plant'

There's a couple of nice puns in there, but overall, they are just really awful IMO. But they say half the joke is in the delivery, and reading them just doesn't give you that.

The best comedians lull you into forgetting that they are telling you jokes. Then even though the actual joke is simple, the fact that it takes you by surprise is what makes it funny.

hahaha I read all the jokes and no. 6 was one big question mark, then I read that you posted this because you didn't get it either ^^. So glad someone already explained it, I would've tried googling this for way too long.
