    Here are some of his best-known jokes:
    :: My father fought in World War I, single-handedly destroyed the Germans' lines of communication. He ate their pigeon.
    :: A fella walks into a pet shop and says: "Give me a wasp." The shopkeeper replies: "We don't sell wasps." He says: "There's one in the window."
    :: A man goes into Boots and says: "Have you got Viagra?" "Do you have a prescription?" asks the chemist. "No,” he replies, "But I've got a photograph of the wife..."
    :: A fella walked into hospital and the doctor said: "You've got three minutes to live." The man said: "Can you do something for me?" "Yes," he said. "I'll boil you an egg."
    :: I don't think my wife likes me very much. When I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.
    :: A fella said to the doctor: "What's the good news?" "You've got 24 hours to live." He says: "What’s the bad news?" And the doc says: "We should have told you yesterday."
    :: I rang British Telecom. I said: "I want to report a nuisance caller." He said: "Not you again."
    :: My wife said to me: "If you won the lottery, would you still love me?" I said: "Of course I would. I'd miss you, but I'd still love you."

    Frank was in the stands at a charity race meeting I was at some years ago , and had the crowd in hysterics.
    He performed for hours , all for free, he was just there in the crowd . Made time for everybody.

    Proper star who will be sadly missed.

    One of my boyhood comic heroes. His catch phrase will live forever as the ultimate comment on how to tell a joke.

    God bless Frank. You could certainly tell them.

    PS didn't know about the family tie either.
