The butler strikes again

Stephen Bates and his little boy were granted an audience with royalty after the little fellow topped a nationwide talent search.

All was well till the butler ushered them in.

"Your Majesty", he said, "may I present Mister Stephen Bates and his son Master Bates".

"How did you know?" asked an astonished Simon. "The barn's been deserted for years."

What's in a name?

A girl I met at a friend's place pulled this one on me.

"Knock, knock."

"Who's there?"

"Manoj."

"Manoj who?"

"Ma-noj is running."

Here's another I thought up on the way to work.


"Knock, knock."

"Who's there?"

"Manoj."

"Manoj who?"

"Manoj-a-trois."
