May possibly raise a smile

With the daily Newsnight email often comes a bad joke. Occasionally they're mildly diverting, even if still pretty awful. Here's todays:

Customer: Worcester sauce crisps please.

Shopkeeper: Sorry, can't, it's off the shelves - cancer scare.

Customer: Oh right, Chinese chicken wings?

Shopkeeper: Ah, that's the same, cancer scare.

Customer: Hamburger Relish?

Shopkeeper: Cancer scare.

Customer: Sausage and mash?

Shopkeeper: Cancer scare.

Customer: Cottage pie?

Shopkeeper: Yes. ...no wait, cancer scare.

Customer: So, they're all off the shelves because of a cancer scare?

Shopkeeper: Yes.

Customer: (Sigh) Just give me a packet of fags then.

Shopkeeper: Certainly. £4.50 please.
