Better off with Wit of Cricket

Having enjoyed the Wit of Cricket 1, I got this in the hope of more good cricket stories, and also a more varied set on other topics.

The cricket ones are mostly duplicates, and the rest, to my ears, fall largely flat.

A story concerning an elderly postman getting his eyebrows stuck in the spokes of his own bicycle may well be capable of being funny but not as portrayed here.

Making a story about an actress out bra-shopping fully dull, yet mildly-offensive is a particular low point.
