Here is a funny joke and a BBC comedy sketch, featuring Bhangraman, skewering the ancient English art of Morris Dancing. I hope this doesn’t offend any Morris dancing readers of this blog. I heard recently that in some villages in England that the rugby team often resorts to going pub to pub Morris dancing in the summer, so be careful if you dish out to a Morris dancer, you may be biting off more than you bargained for.

A bus load of blind people on a day trip stop at a pub. The coach driver asks if some of the lads can have a game of football on the car park out back.

“How can they do that?” asks the Landlord. “Seeing as they are blind and all.”

“Well, it’s quite easy” says the driver. “They have a special ball with bells in so they can hear it.”
Nothing much happens for fifteen minutes or so when all of a sudden all hell breaks loose. Police cars, ambulances, fire engines, the lot! Policeman rushes into the pub.

“What the hell is going one” asks the coach driver.

“We have had a report of some bunch of yobos kicking a Morris dancer to death.”

If anyone doesn’t know what a Morris dancer is then have a look in the picture below or the video above. The guys in white who dance with sticks and bells are the Morris dancers. It is traditional for them to do a dance as part of the May day holiday celebrations.
