All from Robbie Grigor's book about Chic Murray, "Just Daft" published by Birlinn books.
'Unfortunately, at the AGM of the Unspeakably Shy Society (Rutherglen branch) nobody was able to attend.' (possibly my favourite, as I can identify...)
'I don't care if he was the head of the Light Brigade. There will be no charging here!'
'If something's neither here nor there, where the hell is it?'
'In the Olympic village, a man wearing trainers and carrying a long stick, was asked by a stranger, ' Are you a pole vaulter?' 'Nein. I am German. But how did you know my name is Walter?'
'I was making tea in my pyjamas. I must remember to buy a teapot.'
'Ah! but what have I got up my sleeve? A broken arm if you're not careful.'
'She wasn't all there. But I thought there was enough to make it interesting.'
'I got on a bus and went upstairs. The conductor asked for my fare. 'A single to the west End please,' I said. 'We don't go to the West End,' he said. I said, 'But you've got West End on the front of the bus.' He said, 'We've got Persil on the back of the bus but we don't take in washing.'
'That boy needed a good hiding. So I took him away and hid him where they'll never find him.'
'I walked into the bedroom. The curtains were drawn but the furniture was real.'
Loads more. Like I said before, the monologue The Nose is the funniest thing I've ever read.
Best £14.99 I've spent in a long while.
