Unable to find a replacement cog for the gearbox of his beloved classic Datsun sports car, the enthusiast was told that he would have to collect one from the factory in Japan.

As he thought that this would be rather expensive, he decided to buy 50 replacement cogs and sell the surplus back home in England to help to pay for the flight.

Unfortunately, on the flight back home, there was engine trouble on the plane. So in order to save fuel, the pilot gave orders for all of the baggage to be jettisoned. This meant that the cogs had to thrown out as well.

On the ground , an elderly couple looked up at the sky. They saw all of the baggage falling from the plane.

"Look at that, dear" said the old man, "It`s raining Datsun cogs!!"

I remember this joke (or an equivalent one) from the 70s. Good to see that it is still circulating 50 years on.

Apparently the world's oldest joke is...

Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap.

Oldest ? Nah.... : "Moses was told to come forth, but he came fifth and won a teacup"
