There seems to be a minor cottage industry developing in David Beckham jokes. Here are a couple I've recently run across.

Posh Spice and David Beckham are sitting in front of the TV watching the six o'clock news. The headline feature is a man who is threatening to jump off a suspension bridge onto the busy road below.

Posh turns to Beckham and says "Dave, I bet you $10,000 that he jumps." He replies "$10,000! You're on!" The pair shake on it and continue watching the commotion on the TV. Sure enough, the man jumps and hits the road below with a loud thud.

Beckham takes 10 grand out of his pocket and gives it to Posh. "I can't take that from you, Dave," she says. "I was cheating. I saw the five o'clock news earlier so I knew what was going to happen. I can't accept that money."

Beckham replies, "No, babe. The money is yours fair and square. I was cheating too. I just didn't think he would do it again."

David runs into the living room, very excited. He's finally completed the jigsaw puzzle that he started 40 days ago. Posh asks him if that's a good time. David says, "Absolutely! The cover of the box says 3-6 years!"

From the few interviews I've seen of him, he doesn't strike me as unintelligent; these are probably driven more by fiscal and social envy.
