Xmas Crackers

Ok so most ppl would be pulling one (if not more) xmas cracker(s) this yr, what'd u all get inside them? and what about the jokes? christmas crackers are so amusing because they are just so full of crap, but amusing crap at that. Anyway, I got a party popper that didn't pop (we had it all planned 2 wake up grandad as well), a random plastic pendant that looked like it was supposed 2 b a whistle, golf tees and basically random plastic creatures.

The jokes can be pretty pathetic too, like "What sits on a lily pad and goes 'cloak cloak'"? - a chinese frog.

and where did the idea of paper hats come from? share ppl share..

Forums: The Bar,

I got a plastic frog. Don't remember the joke.
My 7yo male cousin who I cracked crackers with got a comb. I feel sorry for the little kids, learning how shitty xmas crackers can be.

At a dinner earlier this month, I got a joke "What's open when it's closed?......The Londen [sic] Tower Bridge."
a) It's not funny.
b) It has a spelling mistake.
c) The spelling mistake makes it funny.

christmas crackers= the peculiar madness you experience after hanging round with your extended family for more than 55 mins

I got two musical clapper things... been driving people up the walls with them... unusally good for Christmas crackers.

I got this joke -
Bo Peep - Help I've lost my sheep!
Bystander - How did you lose them?
Bo Peep - I had a 'crook' with me.

Mwah. Mwah. Mwaaaahhhhhh.

They're way funnier when you've had a few Pink Chardon's with your cuzzies...

There would be a real market for 'Adult Christmas Crackers'- keep the crepe paper crown inside, but add a little more gunpowder, a hard out dirty joke and a plastic sex toy.

heh. i never got christmas crackers, but i got their contents for christmas from my grandma :S present included...
*a white plastic bow that looked like it was supposed to be a ring, but would never fit on anyone's finger except a baby's
*a miniscule packet of paper playing cards, about the size of your thumbnail
*a coin shaped plastic thing with a clown face- with little balls that dont move covered in clear plastic
*party hat (woot)
*a tiny plastic purple strawberry
I'm not sure what they're uses are :S Who thinks of these things?!

This one almost killed Christmas breakfast.
