Whatto! Pepys...
Tom Smith invented crackers as a way of introducing some excitement into an otherwise gaudy table ornament and Tom went on to become the owner of a company which still exists today and very rich man!
Because the cracking noise from the cracker was sooooo exciting they had to put so called 'jokes' inside each one which were designed to calm one down again.
I robustly reject this premise, which may have been relevant in Victorian times but serves no earthly purpose in todays adrenaline sodden society.
So here are my offerings for alternative cracker insertions (jokes) for 2014!
