"I was having dinner with my boss's family and his wife said 'Would you like one potato or two?' so I said "I'll just have one." and she said "It's alright, you don't have to be polite." so I said "Ok then, I'll just have one you stupid cow."" - Tim Vine

Some of those were definitely smarter AND funnier than the winnning joke.

It's basically a dynamic table number. It's common in British pubs to order food at the bar before you've decided where to sit, so you're given a numbered token (often a wooden spoon). When you decide where to sit, you display the spoon and the waitress brings your food when it's ready.

I think some of those were definitely funnier than the #1 voted joke, but then again I don't fully understand British comedy.

10) Gareth Richards "Wooden spoons are great. You can either use them to prepare food. Or, if you can't be bothered with that, just write a number on one and walk into a pub…"

Local knowledge:
You order food at the bar in most pub, and for the waitress to find your table, you're given a number. It turns out that quite a few pub use wooden spoons with the number painted on them for this.

When I was young I used to pray for a bike, then I realized that God doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.

#2: Bird is a term for a woman. Stone is a unit of mass equally around 14 pounds. So it says they don't weight much.

#6: England's soccer team fails consistently. It's sad for the English because they always think the team is better than they really are.

#9: Vanessa Feltz is a TV personality in England and she's fat.

#10: I have no f**king idea.

#9 - Venessa Feltz is fat? light? i don't know...

#10 - I'm not sure... Brits..?
