This weeks Friday funnies comes from Jeff Hathaway, election candidate for St Brelade Number 1.
In the interests of fairness, I will put on any suitably funny pieces next Friday from any of the other election candidates who are standing in St Brelade; all they have to do is email me. Nothing political or rude please! A chance to show your sense of humour to the voting public!

Didn't he say "Bring on the empty horses" while shooting a movie? Funny by mistake is always hilarious.
What a great set of quotes, loved them all but the one that stands out amongst the crowd for me is
I don't think anyone should write their autobiography until after they're dead.
These days you can write an autobiography after being in an xfactor audition, the days when a good autobiography was a good read and not a money spinner are long gone.
I might write one myself, first book will be from 0 to 9 years old, second from 9 to 18, third from 18 to 22. You get the picture!!
No it was Michael Curtiss who said Bring on the Empty Horses!
