Controller wins cracker contest
The winning joke will appear in next year's crackers
An air traffic controller has won a national contest to find a new joke for Christmas crackers.
Chris Hyde, 34, from Carterton in Oxfordshire, beat more than 300 entries from across the UK to win a £500 cheque.
His winning joke will now appear in thousands of supermarket crackers in time for Christmas next year.
Mr Hyde's entry was judged to contain the essential cracker joke ingredients of making people laugh and groan in equal measure.
His winning joke was - Q: How does the Terminator do his Xmas shopping?
A: At ASDA with Visa baby!
Here are a sample of some of the losing jokes:
Doctor, Doctor, I feel like a bridge. What has come over you?
Two cars and a lorry!!
What did mother turkey say to her disobedient chicks?
If your father could see you now he'd turn over in his gravy!
If a reindeer lost his tail where would he go for a new one?
A retail shop
What do you call a Telly tubby that's been burgled?

Wot is an ASDA? Maybe then I'll get it...
I really think (regardless of not getting it) being included in a Christmas cracker with the other p1ssweak jokes is not a terribly reliable indication of funniness

What!
There was a xmas cracker joke competition and no one told me! I've got loads of cheap one liners that make you laugh/groan.
How about:
Q:How do you get Pikachu on a bus?
A:You poke him on!
More of a verbal gag really...

No, you're wrong there, a poke-a-man is what you need to be to make it into management at AirServicesAustralia.
oops looks like I'll be working in the middle east for the next 20 years after that comment.
