From the Fringe

I have more or less decided (again) not to bother with the Edinburgh Festival (busy, urban, nowhere to put van, dog, etc) so am pleased to read in today's Scotsman the top ten funniest jokes in the Fringe.

Zoe Lyons from Brighton tops the list with 'I can't believe Amy Winehouse self-harms. She's so irritating, she must be able to get someone to do it for her.' When asked whether she felt making fun of the affliction of self-harming was a good idea, Zoe told The Scotsman (apparently without irony) 'It's just a joke, so I'm not going to beat myself up about it.'

Lower down the list (at 9) is my own favourite, from Tom Stade: 'I like Jesus, but he loves me, so it's awkward.'
