Lord Noel On The Supernatural

Whatto! Pepys...

Our Town Hall isn't used as often as it should be. So it was nice to find that something interesting had been arranged that I can support. Someone had booked a Psychic to give a seminar on the supernatural and the Town Hall was totally packed out.
Picture the scene...Lady Jacqueline and I are near the front as 'Guests of Honour' so we have a good view of proceedings.
To get a feel for his audience, the Psychic begins by asking "How many people here believe in ghosts?"
About 90 of the audience raise their hands.
"Well that's a good start" he smiles
"Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, how many of you think you've ever seen a ghost?"
About 40 people raise their hands.
"That's really good. I'm really glad you're taking this seriously." he added.
"Now I'd like to ask has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?
15 people raise their hands.
"That's a great response" he continues.
"Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?"
3 audience members raise their hands.
"That's fantastic! But let me ask you one further question ... Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?
One solitary hand at the back raises.
The Psychic is visibly astonished.
He takes off his glasses, takes a step towards the front of the stage, and says,
"Well, in all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have slept with a ghost before! Please come up on stage to join me and tell us all about your experience."
A sheepish farm worker named Barny stands up with a nod and begins to make his way up towards the stage to an enthusiastic round of applause from the gathered multitude and some of his work colleagues.
Once Barny is on stage with the Psychic, the Psychic says, "Well young man, tell us all what it's like to have sex with a ghost."
Barny replies, "Ghost?!?" "Oh shit! I thought you said 'goat'!"
