Just a few smirks...

Some of  the funniest(?) jokes from this year's Edinburgh festival fringe. Now remember, comedy is subjective and then there is British humor. No fear of bursting with laughter here.

The top joke:
"You know who really gives kids a bad name? Posh and Becks." –Stewart Francis
Among the top ten:
"I was raised as an only child, which really annoyed my sister." –Will Marsh
"You know you're working class when your TV is bigger than your book case." – Rob Beckett
"I took part in the sun tanning Olympics - I just got Bronze." – Tim Vine
"I waited an hour for my starter so I complained: 'It's not rocket salad." –Lou Sanders
(this one escapes us)
"My mum's so pessimistic, that if there was an Olympics for pessimism … she wouldn't fancy her chances." –Nish Kumar
The top joke picked up 20% of the votes to win the fifth annual Dave award for the funniest joke of the fringe. About 3,000 people voted for the joke, choosing from 30 which had been gathered by a panel of comedy critics and writers.
