Well, that's cheered up a dull Friday afternoon :lol:

Only thing I can think of are those about my fellow countrymen, Tykes (Yorkshiremen to those of lower standing, which means everyone!):

A Yorkshireman's dog dies and as it was a favourite pet he decides to have a gold statue made to remember the dog by:
Yorkshireman: Can tha mek us a gold statue o' yond dog?
Jeweller: Do you want it 18 carat?
Yorkshireman: No I want it chewin' a bone yer daft beggar. ;)

And, just to show no bias, one about cats - I like both cats and dogs but couldn't eat a whole one :o

A Yorkshireman visits the vets about his cat:

Vet: How can we help you today
Tyke: T'old cat ain't so grand
Vet: Is it a tom
Tyke: Nay lad, he's reet 'ere in't cage!
