Marilyn's Photos - Feb 24 2026 - More Jokes Please
The Guinness Book of Records has monthly highlights. February has the usual stuff - things you wouldn’t think of people doing or having.
We’re heading into the end of winter when we get weary. What about some records around jokes? OK - here’s the one I picked: The most jokes told in one minute is 26 - Clive Greenaway did this on March 10, 2015 in the UK. Each joke required a setup and a punchline, and the audience had to react for the joke to count. His routine used one-liners.
Can you imagine the record of the most jokes told in one hour ? It is 676. That was done by Geechy Guy in 1993.
There’s no list of Clive’s 26 jokes - you have to watch the video. There are lots of pictures of him smiling with his record. Sifting through the many articles, here are the 10 of the 26 that I found. There were 27, but one was disqualified.
My wife dresses to kill - and cooks the same way
My wife and I were happy - then we met
I ate a plougman’s lunch - he was not happy
My wife and I haven’t spoken in years - I don’t likek to interrupt
Pollen count - that’s a tough job
Man walks into a bar - ouch…it was an iron bar
I’m on a whiskey diet . . . I lost three days last week
Went to the paper shop . . . but it had blown away
And I found these two in an NPR article:
Exit signs - they’re on the way out
Two elephants fall off a cliff - bum bum
You never know when we might find the rest of these hidden in various articles. Clive has been called a Punslinger.
It turns out that Clive was a member of Toastmasters and a Toastmasters magazine had a short interview with him. At the time, he was a professional working magician, after-dinner speaker and auctioneer.
