from Lionel Blue
a chap is on London Bridge looking at the water below and thinking that hes had it, he cant take any more of life, he hasnt got a job, all hope has gone. hes about to throw himself in when he hears a voice behind him " i wouldnt do that if i were you"
he look round and sees and old woman dressed in rags, with everything she owns in one or two plastic bags, "what business is it of yours? " he says to her fiercely.
"Im a fairy" she says " a good fairy, give me a kiss and I can solve all your problems"
Thinking his problems are at an end, he embraces her passionately. When the clinch is over, she punches him in the stomach and says "how old are you mate?" "Fifty" he says. "Fifty" she laughs, "and you still believe in fairies"
