I was recently writing a joke about being a proud Yorkshireman, explaining how I had so many role models growing up. These included truck drivers who helped keep the economy moving, such as Peter Sutcliffe; businessmen who made it a point of principle to employ as many women as possible, such as Peter Stringfellow; and tireless charity workers who always put the needs of others first, such as Jimmy Savile.
The punchline was: "Thank God the Duke of York is a stand-up guy who's in no way linked to an industrial-scale sex trafficking."
But the Missus told me the joke was in such poor taste that I should never include it. In anything.
