All this talk about Yorkshire humour reminds me of an incident that happened
when I was 18 years old. I lived in Vancouver BC Canada and myself and a
group of friends drove across the border to Seatle in Washington state for a
(drunken) weekend.

We managed to convince a number of people that we had been forced to leave
our sled-dogs at the border because the dogs did not have the proper
vaccination certificates!

As far as I know, I was the only member of our group with Yorkshire
ancestors.
