We received this joke the other day and would love to see some more funny sporting jokes (no references to the Australian rugby team please!) posted below, as long as they’re not defamatory or scurrilous.

‘Two 90 year old men, Mike and Joe, have been friends all of their lives. When it’s clear that Joe is dying, Mike visits him every day. One day Mike says, ‘Joe, we both loved rugby all our lives, and we played rugby on Saturdays together for so many years. Please do me one favour, when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there’s rugby there’. Joe looks up at Mike from his deathbed. ‘Mike, you’ve been my best friend for many years. If it’s at all possible, I’ll do this favor for you. Shortly after that, Joe passes on. At midnight a couple of nights later, Mike is awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him, ‘Mike, Mike’. ‘Who is it?’ asks Mike sitting up suddenly. ‘Who is it?’ ‘Mike, it’s me, Joe’. ‘Joe! Where are you?’ ‘In heaven’, replies Joe. ‘I have some really good news and a little bad news’. ‘Tell me the good news first’, says Mike. ‘The good news’, Joe says, ‘is that there’s rugby in heaven. Better yet, all of our old friends who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we’re all young again. Better still, it’s always Spring and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play rugby all we want, and we never get tired’. ‘That’s fantastic’ says Mike. ‘It’s beyond my wildest
dreams! So what’s the bad news?’

‘You’re in the team for next Tuesday!’
