A Yorkshireman's dog dies, and as it was a favourite pet he decides to have a gold statue made by a jeweller to remember the dog by.

Yorkshireman: "Can tha mek us a gold statue of yon dog?"

Jeweller: "Does tha want it 18 carat?"

Yorkshireman: "Nay, I want it chewin' a bone !"

Only just caught up with this, Phil.

 

In a similar vein:

 

Two Geordies walking through the jungle and there was the sound of distant drumming.

Geordie 1. "Are they war drums?"

Geordie 2. "No, they're the other buggers!"

 

And for you, Fran:

Two ducks flying over Belfast, one said "Quack" the other said "I'm going as quack as I can".
