What Was His Name?

Last Thursday I posted the blog and if you haven’t gotten around to reading it yet you can by clicking here.

There was one problem. I’d written it, read it and reread it.  Lyn had read and reread it. Neither of us saw it. In fact, lots of you read it. Across the social media platforms it had received several likes, comments and emoji’s, all depicting I don’t know what!

Yet you clearly didn’t spot it either.

Have another go. Here it is…

I have just remembered another joke Dad wrote for me. This one is about the moon landing and I often forget to bring it out for its annual outing because I can never recall the date.  Google just informed me that they set off on July 16th and landed on the 20th. My son, Thomas, arrived on the 16th of July so the reminder is six feet tall and always asking for pocket money.

“Lance (Armstrong – you’d have been OK with just ‘Lance’ right?) wandered the moon, the first man ever to do such a thing, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten the flag, went back to the rocket, climbed the steps, knocked on the door and Buzz asked, ‘Who is it?’.”

Yep. Apparently I think that Lance Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon! Now we all know Lance enjoys some illegal substances but did he ever really get that high? 

With a wry smile Lyn asked me if I thought it was perhaps Buzz Lightyear who had answered Lance’s, damn it, Neil’s knock with “who is it?”

For the record only Richard Lewis, the esteemed comedy writer & producer, spotted my error and immediately bought it to my attention, complete with a new tag for my Dad’s gag.

Knock knock

“Who is it?”

“Lance Armstrong”

“WTF have you done with Neil?”
