Quickfire comic Donald MacLeod is proof for sure that people working in the insurance industry have a sense of humour.

As reported in last week’s Business News the new chief actuary at insurance giant RL360 has also made his name as a wise-cracking comedian.

Donald’s interests don’t just lie in finance. For he is also a record breaking comic.

He has published three volumes of My Awful Jokebook to raise money for hospices in the Western Isles of Scotland.

Now Donald has exclusively provided Business News with five of his funniest one-liners .

Here they are:

Doctor doctor, I can’t stop stealing furniture.

Please, take a seat.

How do you make a pirate angry?

Take away the P.

What do you call a man with no hamstrings?

Neil.

Where’s the best place in South Africa to buy a Batman outfit?

Cape Town.

Why did the Mexican push his wife off a cliff?

Tequila.

In 2014, Donald told 580 jokes to break the world record for the most jokes told in an hour.

He said: ‘Although I never applied to Guinness, and the record has subsequently reverted to Tim Vine, who sent me a very kind message.

‘My efforts to date have raised around £40,000 in total.’ [Tim Vine is an English writer, actor, comedian and presenter, known for his quick-fire puns, and is the brother of BBC journalist Jeremy Vine.]
