Good old Spike, he was always good for a laugh.

I can speak Esperanto like a native. ~ Spike Milligan

Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons. ~ Jim Bishop

Not true actually. Plenty of custard in China - they just don't eat it with chopsticks.

Or commas: "I find inspiration in cooking my family and my dog."

PS: Oh, we have the same comic provider in our biggest newspaper. Usually one of the funnier ones.

The Chinese didn't invent custard so the quote holds true. It was also a joke from a comedian.

If you mean the word custard, fine.
If you mean the food - a liquid thickened by adding eggs and low heat, usually sweet - then I challenge you to find me some article that says where that was invented, because I couldn't find one.
And it seems to me that the joke was about the latter, not the former.
Just not a very good one.

You're way over analysing this. I think it was a funny joke.

It was a quote primarily. I didn't expect such analysis. Like all of Spike's jokes, how funny they are depends on which side of the bed you got out of. I really don't care if the chinese invented custard or not. If the thought of eating custard with chopsticks doesn't make you smile, pass on.

Exactly!

If by "this" you mean your post #2330 then you do have a point, however the same could then be said about you, too:

"the same could then be said about you, too:"

What?

This is a "Quotes" thread. It's not for nit-picking. Can you post your quotes pls?

Agreed. :)
