I had a number one hit in 1958 in Finland singing Sheb Wooley's "Purple People Eater". Since then, I've just been telling people jokes and running the Universe.Here's a one-liner I told recently to some idiot musicians in a pub in Soho:'An old fella, in a country pub, he walks up to this young couple, he says "local character, lots of jokes, lots of stories, lots of local knowledge, give us a tenner and I'll piss off".'And they fell about laughing. Starstruck, probably. Try this:'I bought a pack of sausages. And on the front was a picture of Antony Worrall Thompson. Underneath it said "prick with a fork".'
