My favourite music-hall joke


This is an unusual joke for the period: it comes from a 1937 recording by 'Gert and Daisy', the cockney characters created by Elsie and Doris Waters. Daisy is talking about her husband, Bert:

DAISY: Oh - Bert's had his summons.
GERT: No
DAISY: Yes. the usual copper brought it...
GERT: What's it for?
DAISY: He don't know! - and he was afraid to ask in case it was for something else!
