come in number 9, your time is up

I am the war on the following joke:

It's 2009. When I was a kid I assumed by now there would be jetshoes and flying cars, meals-in-a-pill and sexbots. But there are still rail strikes / Bruce Forsyth is still on the telly / Mick Jagger still isn't dead.

I'm not saying it's a bad joke, but I have heard it too often - once per series of The Now Show* for a start - and I have decided that it should take the long last walk.


*I really like The Now Show.
