English joke

I hope you English get this joke because it's the best English joke I have.

This guy brakes down and his auto's barely running when he rolls into a garage. He talks to the mechanic. The mechanic tells him to "come back in 3 hours and I'll see what I can do". 3 hours later the guy walks in the garage and peeks into the bays. He sees his car and theres a pair of leg under the car, he thinks to himself "not done yet" and leaves. Comes back an hour later and peeks in again. The legs are still under the car and he leaves. Come back and peeks in, theres the leg still under the car. He walks over and grabs one of the legs and pull it out, it's a wooden leg. Humm...he says "Just as I though!"

All I can figure out is there is a "leg" and then there are legs ??

An English guy. What! Told me that joke and I laughed, cause just the thought of wooden legs under the car was funny and that It took him 5 hours to discover it, is funny. And then he pretends he new it all along!
Come in guys- This is funny stuff! :lol:

I was told that English humor is dry....
I got one more

An American goes over to England to visit a friend and the friend takes him to a local pub. There's quite a crowd there and it's very loud.
One chap yells out "63" and the whole crowd brakes out laughing. Another yells "55" and the laughing kept going louder.
The American says to his friend "I'm gonna try it" He stands up and yells "88" and the laughter stops, some people grumbling.
The American turns to his friend "what happened"
The English guy says "It's not the joke, it's how you tell it" :sarcastic:

My friend Roddy was quite a character. He joined the service in England when he was young and was a paratrooper in the RAF. When he got out he came to America and got his citizenship and joined the Army and became a paratrooper. When he got out, He went to diving school. I met him down in Boston on the "Big Dig".

or
Maybe I just can't tell a joke like he can :bad:

The paratrooper has legs and jumped in the hole? :unknown:

When you were told English humour was dry....ummmm, were you at the Pub?

 :morning1:   It must have been on a Sunday, and it must have been in Wales, because a few years back in Wales there was what was known as dry counties where alcohol was banned on the Lords day. :diablo:

Anyway, this horse walks into a pub, in England I must stress, and asks the bartender for a pint of bitter.  "Sure", says the bartender, "but what's with the long face"? :wacko3:
