Sigmund Freud’s grandson tells a joke

Someone I had never heard of until just now, is dead. Sad when that happens. The Telegraph has a brief piece about Sir Clement Freud (Sigmund’s grandson), who was a radio panellist famous for his deadpan delivery. They include a recording of a joke, above, which was apparently told during a program about soccer.

Not just a jokester and a media man, Freud was Britain’s first celebrity chef, an MP and author of children’s books.

Another one-liner, from his Wikipedia article:

In one edition during his turn to speak he said: “There’s not much doubt but we are in a period of great inflation. As the farmer said to me the other day, ‘Apples are going up,’ to which I replied, ‘This would come as a severe blow to Sir Isaac Newton.’”
