lolHe had just finished, and stood back to admire his handy work. Suddenly, the whole lot crashed down.
Whilst examining the wreckage on the floor, he said, 'Oh gosh... I'm so ashamed of myself.'

Naffa, you chose probably the only joke that doesn't work in a written medium.

In a (probably useless) attempt to rescue this thread:
Did you know that Sean Connery's 80
Roger Moore's 83
Pierce Brosnan's 57
Daniel Craig's 42....oh yeah!
To explain, I'm really into Bond age.

At the zombie protest rally:
"What do we want?"
"BRAAAAAIIIIINNNNNSSSSS"
"When do we want it?"
"BRAAAAAIIIIINNNNNSSSSS"

"What do we want?"
"INTERRUPTING COW!"
"When do we wa -"
"MOO!"

I thought that given people knew it was Sean Connery speaking, their internal monologue's would read it in his accent. Perhaps I can help with this...

How old's Dalton?
It does work in 'written medium'. Not your fault if people don't get it straight away!
Only if you read in a Sean Connery accent......
I think that's the whole idea!
I, and I'm sure many others read in a generic non-accented way unless prompted....now the joke works when you consciously think about doing that, (if you can even recall that Sean Connery has a lisp), but as a primarily written joke...not so much.
Its too much work for too little return..
