That doesn't work for me, nor did the many previous links, so I'm yet to know if it's even funny.

Don't worry Lisa, any comedy value it had has long since passed

Alternatively just do a Google search for 'retro internet funnies, circa 1981'

I can see a problem with your plan.

First of all, if it was me you were trying to scare. By the time the counter was at 0:00:00, you'd be dead anyway.
My first reaction would be to attack you. And not stop attacking you untill the bomb went off.

So your joke would only get you killed anyway. Would I go to jail for murder? No.

1) Wear a check patterned tea towel on your head.
2) Take your shoe off and start fiddling with it.

They do a lovely range of orange clothing in Cuba.

I guess the result would be similar to standing in the middle of airport security and joking about a bomb

And yes the stories almost as old as the joke

You could have some fun with an Mp3 player and a speaker

Play some authentic samples like

WHOOP PULL-UP WHOOP PULL-UP WHOOP

Possibly,

WHOOP TERRAIN WHOOP TERRAIN WHOOP

Or the immortal,

WHOOP DONT-SINK WHOOP DONT-SINK WHOOP DONT-SINK

Pilots are a fun bunch, I am sure they would see the funny side.


Or if Asian, be in the bogs with an Arabic slogan behind you being videoed in full Islamic dress recording a message in a ranting and rather less than eloquent manner and go all quiet when someone comes in.

I've spent most of my day either in the kitchen, or doing housework, had enough now.

Seriously though, has anyone, including you tried the link, maybe it just doesn't work, then it's not my fault.

This is about as funny as the other funny going around in 1981, which goes something along these lines...

A man was on a trans Atlantic flight when he spotted his old school friend Jack. Taken aback with excitement, he stood up in the aisle and started towards him. Waving his hand in the air he shouted "Hi Jack".

He could not understand why when he woke up five minutes later there were a bunch of ppl sitting on top of him while beating him around the head.
