Joy: Alan Bennett's Diary in the LRB

For Emma

15 December. My best Christmas cards are always from Victor Lewis-Smith, who lives in the Lake District, not far from Sellafield: ‘I persist in telling visitors on the fell that the building they can see in the distance is in fact the Kendal mint cake factory, whose chimneys are emitting exotic mint vapour. It’s for the best, it really is.’ - Alan Bennett

Joke # 8

A man spies his wife in front of the full length mirror in the bedroom

"Mirror mirror on the door, make my bust a forty four", she says.

Her boobs grow to a fabulous size.

The man, thinking two can play at this game, waits until she is out.

"Mirror mirror on the door, make my cock touch the floor", he says.

His legs fall off.
