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?
Tubby

I don't get it :confused: :D :D

lol nice! :}

nice to see it's not only us pilot's with a sense of humour! :E

Perhaps this could turn into a pprune challenge - ATCOs versus pilots versus cabin staff versus ground staff ...

you never know ... :D

I think Mr Hyde has been reading too many Stan Boardman books :D

Anyone know the great joker??

The only jokes I know are very rude........:E

There are some real clowns at Swanwick.

Mostly at watch management level

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:{ :{

(forgive him - he is still realing from the numbers 2, 0, 1 & 7)

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...

:rolleyes:

I thought a pokaman was just another name for a proctologist.

Learn something new every day.

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