Fans of this should check out Jasper Carrott's early albums where he quotes from insurance claims, example -
"I turned into the wrong drive, and collided with a tree I haven't got."
"I pulled out of my drive and collided with the Number 23 bus, which was early."
I didn't see the gentleman I ran over because I was busy waving to the gentleman I ran over last week."
and so on ...

Max Miller actually said this on the radio:-
I was walking along this narrow mountain pass - so narrow that nobody else could pass you, when I saw a beautiful blonde walking towards me. A beautiful blonde with not a stitch on, yes, not a stitch on, lady. Cor blimey, I didn't know whether to toss myself off or block her passage.

That was the sort of thing that got 'The Cheeky Chappy' banned off the radio pretty quickly!
It's difficult to imagine the impact something like that would have had back then - you couldn't shock people to that degree now. If he were around today, Miller would be packing them in like Frankie Boyle or Chubby Brown.
