Waspish Humour


Belfast buried one of its own yesterday - the comedian Frank Carson - a man who didn't have a dull bone in his body.

Frank died last week after a long illness - but he was given a great send-off.

Frank united both parts of his Belfast community with a funeral service in the local Catholic a church - were he was married sixty years ago.

Accompanied by a blessing from the local Protestant church - a short while later.

Now that's something to make most people smile.

Lots of Frank Carson's jokes were corny - but they always managed to make me laugh - sometimes against my better instincts.

So here's one of my favourites.

A man goes into a petshop and says to the owner.

"I'd like to buy a wasp."

"Don't be daft," the owner tells him. "We don't sell wasps."

"Well you've got one in your window," says the man.
