The late, great DAVID NIVEN in 1975 with his wonderful ‘The Prawn & The Crab’ joke.
"Let's have the prawn joke, then if that doesn't work, we'll have the gambit. The prawn fell in love with a crab, and it was mad about this crab, and it went home to its family, and it said, look, I'm mad about that crab, it lives up around that big rock at the end. And the prawn's father was furious, he said, you're not going to be seen with a crab, ridiculous animal, they go sideways, no way. You go to the crab and say, no way, you're going to go, tell the crab it's finished. So the prawn went back to the crab and said, crab, I'm terribly sorry, it's off. Because my father says that you look pretty stupid because you go sideways. Ha, no matter what you do, and the crab was furious, he said, that does it. I'll be down this evening, I'll have a seaweed and soda with your father, and went off like this. Now, at six o'clock in the evening, the prawns were all sitting around their rock, and the weed opened, and in came the crab. And to everybody's amazement, it came straight, like this, like that. And the prawn rushed up and said, crab, crab, you're wonderful, crab, you're going straight. And the crab just shut up and pissed."
