A man gets his ear sliced off in an unfortunate accident. He rushes to the doctor, who solemnly declares that he cannot reattach his ear.
However, there is a revolutionary procedure in development, in which we attach a pig's ear in much the same way as we use pigs' heart valves in surgery.
Pondering his choice, the man says,
But will I hear properly?"
Well... You might get a bit of crackling..."
Er, Don. I don't geddit! (that's the way Yanks say it, according to McTag).
If you're talking about cracklings that my mom used to bake in cornbread, you must be from Southern England.
Don't know if it was supposed to, but that didn't help, lenny. I still don't geddit. Damn language barrier!
(Edited to correct pronunciation.)
Um! no M8 it wasn't it was a comment on the type of joke, over here that could have been told in old time music hall. Your right about this Damn language barrier, bleedin pain it is :wink:
M8? Does anyone care to explain?
M8 = mate
(and I think) Boom tish = ba da boom
Thanks, Mac, but the punch line is? If this is cockney rhyming I'm gonna box Don's ears.
Yep M8=Mate, easy once you know how, l8trs :wink:
Quote: (and I think) Boom tish = ba da boom
right on the money.
I forgot about the language difference, "crackling" is the crunchy outer part of a pork joint when cooked.
pigs ear/ not working quite right/crackling
Kinda falls flat when it's explained dunnit?
My goodness, Don. I said that to start with, 'cause my mom made cracklin' corn bread. and yes, it does sorta fall flat when one must explain it; however, I learned some interesting stuff through the telling of it.

Hmmm Letty, language thing again, I dont know what cracklin corn bread is, Aint language interestin?
Don, cracklin' corn bread is just plain old corn bread with pork rinds thrown in. My word, man. You do know what corn bread is do you not?
(frankly, as a kid, I hated it.)
OK thats it, now I'm Hungry.
O.K. we agree on pork rinds being "crackling"
