No Pete, direct humour is not a strong point, rather my strength is in responsive humour, sharp quips as it were. In that respect I'm closer to Ricky Gervais than Peter Kay...
Let me quote an example (true story). When Ricky Gervais was at the Live-8 concert in London, Paris Hilton (who is a big fan of The Office apparently) went up to Ricky and said "Hey Ricky, I'm a huge fan of the office, nice to meet you". Ricky responded, "Who are you then?", to which Paris replied, "I'm Paris Hilton, don't you recognise me?". Ricky then quipped, "Oh, sorry Paris, I didn't recognise you without a cock in your mouth". Apparently Paris then walked off in a huff...
Classic.
