What is Chris' favourite joke he sometime refuses to tell?

It's a variation of this:

I was walking past a suit shop when I saw a suit that I really liked - I went in to try it on but wasn't really sure.

I went back the next day, taking Comedy Dave with me to see what he thought of the suit. As I stood outside and pointed at the suit I said "That's the one I'd get" - and Gabrielle (who was walking past) came over and hit me.

(that's the one-eyed git)

I want a request, shall I email chris@chrismoyles.net?

If you email chris@chrismoyles.net it goes to Chris Harris the owner of MoylesWorld (and the chrismoyles.net domain). It does not go to Chris Moyles.

Several times a week I get requests for songs, 'shouts' for peoples friends, pervy emails from desperate women and abuse from geeky kiddies.

Listen carefully - to email Chris Moyles, use chris.moyles@bbc.co.uk.
