rabidsamfanA while back I remembered an old TV show I liked: "Dave Allen at Large". It was shown on the local PBS station, late at night, and was worth staying up for. Alas, after a while it went away and we got "Benny Hill" instead.
Dave Allen could be rude, crude, lewd and socially unacceptable. Unlike Benny Hill, he could also be incredibly funny.
So online I went and found a book and a DVD at amazon.co.uk, and the book came today. I flipped through and read here and there and ended up howling with glee while the rest of the train passengers looked at me with growing alarm.
Here's a sample.
There's a point in every man's life when you buy your first contraceptive. Well, maybe not so much in the lives of Irish men, but there's a point in most men's lives when you buy your first contraceptive. And the most amazing thing about the first contraceptive that we buy is that we don't use it. I mean, we open it up and blow it up and it goes whooooosh and you think, "Christ, what does that fit?" But then you put it back and keep it in your wallet. And then over the years, that little circle makes a kind of imprint in the leather. You might eventually throw the actual contraceptive away but the imprint is always there. Nice memories.
