Tommy Cooper
I was reading a book about Tommy Cooper yesterday and i was in stiches.. His humour is unusual.. I'll share a few "Cooperisms".. See what you think!
A man goes into the doctors. The doctor says, 'Go over to the window and stick your tongue out.'
Man says, Why? The doctor says, 'I don't like my neighbours'
Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin.Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin.
'Doc, I can't stop singing the green green grass of home.
'That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome'. 'Is it common?'
'It's not unusual.'
think he was ever credited with being an excellent magician but he was.
Doha customs insisted on his baggage trunks being opened when he arrived from Abu Dhabi. At that time it was possible to see into the customs hall.
They (customs) kept pulling out those trick plants that spring out when you put them down. The customs desk was like a jungle. Then we spotted Kevin (the roadie) juggling 3 balls in the customs hall. He told us later that they asked what the balls were and he said "part of the show" and juggled them (he was an ex juggler). Customs clapped, put a cross on the trunks and passed him through.
Tommy's only comment when we asked him "How was the show in Abu Dhabi" was "Dunno didn't see it".
He was a funny gent.
no,no, lol although he was obviously one....Tommy Cooper just had a creepy 'look' about him.....

...sure that you are not thinking of Benny Hill?
If you're living life on the edge, you've got too much room.
He always struck me as a perv...dunno why something about him......

"You can't tell which way the train went by looking at the tracks"
you never showed me Dweller ... i remember when we came to your house you showed your grand daughters piccies, but i cant recall tommy cooper with Mrs Dweller.
Another one;
"I went to the doctor and the doctor says "Say Ahhhhh" I said why? The doctor said "My dog just died."
Call me Maninibat!
me, but I have one of the wife with him taken in the FC Committee bar after the show.
Did you see it when you came to Turkey?
dweller, did you take photo with him?
The red and gold material for the magic cloak that the assistant was was putting on Tommy when he died came from the Doha souk.
We had the pleasure of looking after both him and his son when he played the Falcon Club in 1983.
There are many tales that could be told about that visit.

"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365
not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
I remember watching him die on TV, the audience thought it was part of his act !!

britexpat, you just took me back to before I lost my Dad, he used to laugh until he cried at Tommy Cooper, the man didn't even have to say anything and my Dad would be already laughing just at the expressions on his face.
Thankyou for bringing back some of the sweetest memories I have xxx
gotta go now, all sentimental
:-)
I got home from work and the wife said - I'm very sorry dear, but the cat's eaten your dinner'. I said 'Dont worry - I'll get you a new cat'.
