London bombings ruin great joke for Galway man |
|
|
The terrorist bombings of London at the start of July have ruined an excellent
joke for Galway man Jonathan Davis. Davis, who hails from Renmore, has
been fuming for the past few weeks over his lost 'great' material.
Ever since four terrorists took their own lives and claimed the lives of so many innocent London commuters he has been unable to tell people his new jokes which he came up with the night before the bombings. "This whole bit about suicide bombers just came to me on the way home from the pub," says Davis (26). "I was cracking myself up, it was that funny. Then what do you know - I come up with my best killer material and then wake the next morning to find that London's been bombed. Now it's 'bad taste' to tell the jokes. God friggin' damn it. Have you ever heard of such bad luck?" Friends of Jonathan's, who have yet to hear the risque material, told The Naked Galwegian that the incident is similar to other times when Davis has had great jokes ruined by national or international tragedies. Kevin White recounts, "Yeah, remember after 9/11 Jonathan was telling us all he had just written some amazing aeroplane crash gags but now wasn't the time to tell them on account of his sensitivity to the victims." "Or there was all his schoolkid bus crash jokes that he said he'd been working on recently before that school bus overturned. And didn't he write some great tidal wave material or something on Christmas Day?" |
 Jonathan - a hilarious, but unlucky, guy.
