Post by: Littlefoot1616 on November 02, 2004, 10:10:02 PM
Got any good jokes! Anything you got let's hear it but be wary of offending people! Nothing too rude, discriminating or just plain dirty! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Anywho...I'll kick start with this one my friend at work told me...


A man walks into a pub with a giraffe and he goes up to the bar. The bartender looks at them weird but still asks, "What can I get ya?"
"Pint for me buddy and a vodka shot of me giraffe here!" The bartender shrugs and pours them their drinks. All through the night, this man and his giraffe are knocking back the alcohol right up until last orders. Once closing time comes, the bartender looks down to find the man, completely drunk, face down on the bar. He shakes him and tells him that it's closing time. The man rolls off the bar stool and heads for the door. The bartender calls to him and points at his giraffe who was passed out on the floor.
"Oi mate! You can't leave that lying there!" he shouts. The man turns around, looks at the giraffe and then back at the bartender with a confused look on his face and says:
"What you talking about? That's not a lion it's a giraffe!"

This is a limmeric rather than a joke, but when it was quoted during an English literature lecture at the university I found it really funny:

There was a young lady of Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a Tiger;
They came back from the ride
With the lady inside,
And the smile on the face of the Tiger.

Hi!
Now this is not exactly a joke, but it is still funny. During a Linguistic lesson at the university today one of the few advantages was pointed out that German language has over English language. In German letters are almost always pronounced exactly the same way; not so in English.
One linguist (who must've been in a funny mood) pointed the following thing out. Actually it ought to be possible to spell the word "fish" as "ghoti" in English without varying the pronounciation. You don't believe it?
Then take the "gh" or tough, at the "o" of women, and complete it by adding the "ti" of information. What do you get when you pronounce that aloud?  :lol
Title: Jokes and Gags
Post by: Littlefoot1616 on November 12, 2004, 11:12:18 AM
OK...PMSL! Like a complete spooner, I was there for a good while trying to pronounce that  :DD The worrying thing is that it IS actually right! OMG! My own language is being manipulated! It could be a whole new branch of English!  :wow

Anywho, another joke story I heard. Bit of a long-winded one but here goes...

One day, a keen fisherman decided that he wanted to try something new. Being bored of casting his line into the local pond to catch fish, he decided to try fishing in ice like the eskimos did. So, he packed his stuff, and set off for his fishing trip but as he was about to leave he suddenly thought of something. Eskimos live at the poles...how in the world was he going to get THERE?! He could afford a journey there by plane or boat and they probably didn't do commercial trips out there anyway. "No problem!" the man thought, "I just have to find somewhere local." So he set off.

Before long, he came to patch of ice with some skaters on it. "Great! I can fish right here!" the man said. Taking his saw, he cut a hole in the ice and dropped his line into the water. As soon as he sat down to get comfortable, the man jumped as he hear a great booming voice call down on him saying, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!!!" The man looked around confused. "Must be a bad spot then..." he thought so he picked up everything and moved to a new place. Here, he did the same. He cut a hole in the ice and began to fish but again...the great booming voice called down on him. "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!!!" A little shocked, the man picks himself up and decides to move to another spot. Once there, he tried again. Cut a hole and dipped his line in. For a third time, the voice rang out, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!!!" Now very scared, the man looks up to the sky and says in a sheepish voice,"Who are you?! Are you God?! Why are there no fish under the ice?!" After a few seconds wait, the great voice spoke again. "No! I am not God! I am the manager of the Sports Centre! We do NOT keep fish in our ice-skating rink so please leave otherwise I will pressure charges!" Feeling, rather foolish, the man snatches up his stuff and runs out of the sports centre...

:)  That guy must've really been focused too much on the fish (or should I say ghoti?) in his (fishy?) mind rather than on the real world around him.   :DD

After I've had this linguist (don't know his name) have his say about English language I found some very funny quotes on German language written by the famous American writer Mark Twain. These quotes are even more funny if you know German, but even if you don't they are funny enough:

Quote
My philological studies have satisfied me that a gifted person ought to learn English (barring spelling and pronouncing) in thirty hours, French in thirty days, and German in thirty years. It seems manifest, then, that the latter tongue ought to be trimmed down and repaired. If it is to remain as it is, it ought to be gently and reverently set aside among the dead languages, for only the dead have time to learn it.
:lol:
Quote
A dog is "der Hund"; a woman is "die Frau"; a horse is "das Pferd"; now you put that dog in the genitive case, and is he the same dog he was before? No, sir; he is "des Hundes"; put him in the dative case and what is he? Why, he is "dem Hund." Now you snatch him into the accusative case and how is it with him? Why, he is "den Hunden." But suppose he happens to be twins and you have to pluralize him- what then? Why, they'll swat that twin dog around through the 4 cases until he'll think he's an entire international dog-show all in is own person. I don't like dogs, but I wouldn't treat a dog like that- I wouldn't even treat a borrowed dog that way. Well, it's just the same with a cat. They start her in at the nominative singular in good health and fair to look upon, and they sweat her through all the 4 cases and the 16 the's and when she limps out through the accusative plural you wouldn't recognize her for the same being. Yes, sir, once the German language gets hold of a cat, it's goodbye cat. That's about the amount of it.
I have to add that Mark Twain is mistaken about the accusative singular of "Hund" it would be "den Hund" while "den Hunden" is accusative plural  ;)

A funny story I got from the internet via a good friend of mine from back home... This was a newspaper article written and my friend forwarded it to me. Ready?

One blisteringly hot day, somewhere in America a woman went for her weekly shop at a supermarket. As she loaded the bags into her back seat, she went to sit in the driver's seat. All of a sudden, as she sat down, there was a deafening BANG and something hit her in the back of her head through the small gap in her headrest. Examining the impact, she suddenly gasped and held the back of her head tightly. Anyway, a man comes in and parks beside her to grab some bits. He notices the woman holding the back of her head looking rather shocked and unmoving. Thinking nothing of it, he disappears, does his shop (for a good 2 hours) and returns to his car. To his surprise, the woman is STILL in her car sitting in the same position STILL with her hands on her head. He knocks on the window can calls to her.
"Excuse me miss? Are you all right?"
"NO! I think I'm seriously hurt!" she cals back hardly moving an inch. The man goes to open the door but she shrieks for him not to move her. Alarmed that she wouldnt let him near her,the man decides to call the emergency services. They arrive and she still wont let them move her.
"What's wrong madam?" a cop asks her slowly.
"I've been hit in the back of the head! I can feel something soft. I think Im holding my brain in!" she says hurryingly. Looking shocked, the cops decide that moving her could put her in great distress so they decide to cut her out of the car. After removing the front of her car and getting her to allow them to move her, they pull her out and paramedics inspect her injury. The man suddenly bursts out laughing as he looks at her head and then in the back of her car.
As it turned out, the woman was NOT holding her brains in...in fact she was perfectly fine. What had happened was that the intense heat had heated up a can in her groceries, exploded and launched a loaf of bread into the back of her head. Since she was unable to see this, the woman quickly assumed she her brain was falling out the back of her head!

That was a rather nasty joke as a sign off but I wont post that up just in case it offends! Pretty wacked up huh?!  :DD

Hi!
Once there was an international poll according to which the following joke was considered the most funny in the world. The result probably comes more from the fact that the joke works out in many languages and is considered funny in different cultures, not so much because it would make us explode with laughter. Nevertheless it is not bad:

Two hunters are out in the forrest, when suddenly one of them suffers a heart attack. He gasps, grasps at his chest and drops to the ground. The other one panicks and makes an emergency call with his cell phone. "My friend is dead!" he shouts at the emergency call operator. "My friend is dead! What shall I do?"
"Stay calm!" says the emergency call operator. "First of all make sure he is really dead."
The next moment he hears a shot ringing through the phone, then the hunter asks: "Okay, what next?"

^ To be honest, I don't get this one. Perhaps because I'm missing a pun.

I've found one "scientific" text on Santa Claus which some of you may know already. I hope it won't come too much as a disillusion for you  ;) :

Physics Of Santa Clause - Santa Is Dead Theory
As a result of an overwhelming lack of requests, and with research help from that renowned scientific journal SPY magazine (January, 1990) - I am pleased to present the annual scientific inquiry into Santa Claus.


No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.
There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.
Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seemes logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc.This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a pokey 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.
The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal anount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth. 5.353,000 tons travelling at 650 miles per second creates enourmous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecrafts re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.
In conclusion: If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.

We all know the inherent improbabilities. But If God can create the universe in 6 days (hope I'm not offending anyone here), then Santa can make around the world in one night. As for the goose joke, I get it,. The feathers on a goose are called "down".

I have one really funny book of original letters of people. Letters which for the one or the other reason are really funny. The book is in German, but I'll try to give you as accurate a translation of the following letter of a man who writes to a pastor, despaired about his family backgrounds:

Quote
Dear reverend!
As you know I have married a widow who has a twenty year old daughter. My father married this daughter! So my father became my son-in-law, and my step-daugher became my mother. When my wife gave birth to our boy, he was the brother-in-law to my father and at the same time he was my uncle (as the brother of my step-mother). Now my step-mother, who is at the same time my step-daughter, gave also birth to a boy the day before yesterday, and this boy is now my brother as well as my grandson!
Now I am the husband of my wife and her grandson (as the son of her son-in-law). My wife is my grandmother (as the mother of my step-mother). And as the husband of my grandmother is my grandfather I've now become my own grandfather. Please tell me when may I drop in by you?
A postcard is enough.

Here is another letter from the book dated from May 1901 (all these letters are originals):

Quote
To the officers of the treasury in New York

Sir!
You are a very nasty customer!! A crook, a scoundrel, who always forgets that he became everything he is through me!!!
Yours, A. Moll

I'm afraid it wouldn't in English.
In German the writer tells the addressee that he became everything he is (apparently he has a good job or whatever) through the help of the writer.
Quote
who always forgets that he became everything he is through me!!!
Yet as the writer says that the addressee is a very nasty customer, a crook, and a scoundrel it sounds like the addressee became all this with the "help" of the writer.

Here's a few oxymorons for you. In case you don't know what an oxymoron is...it's two words that are used together that either don't make much sense or seems to conflict with each other...

Here's a few examples:

Tax Return (how in the world do you get tax money you pay to the government to return to you?!)

There is another one. I don't know the exact wording, but a manufacturer of microwaves has to put a warning sign on the microwaves which says something like:
Do not use the microwave to dry pets!

A lady had sued the company after she put her sogged cat into the microwave to dry her off. You can imagine what happened to the poor cat. The lady ought to be sued for being THAT stupid!

I've heard that story before! Here's another stupid lawsuit story I got from somewhere.

A man, somewhere in the US, sued a camper-van company after he trashed it on the motorway (or highway which ever you prefer! :P:). Apparently, this man put the camper on cruise control and LEFT the steering wheel to wander in the back to make himself a cup of coffee! Lo and behold, he comes to a bend but he's too concerned about whether his coffee is perculating properly to realise. He stacks the vehicle and sues the company who sold him the camper because it didn't state that he could not leave the wheel in order to do something else in the back! Unbelievably, the nutter WON his case and they re-instated him with a new, top-of-the-range camper and a stupidly large amount of money!  :blink: :wow

I mean COME ON! You'd have to be seriously smacked in the head to do something like that!!!  :bang  :DD

I once read about the following really stupid action.
A man wanted to bring a wooden box full of very heavy bricks down from the upper floor of a barn he owned. The barn had a garret window with a block and pulley above it. So the man tied a rope around the box, led it around the winch and tied the other end of the winch to his car down below the barn.
The he pushed the tool box out of the garret window to it was dangling in the air,
suspended by the weight of the car. However, when he loosened the rope from the car in order to slowly lower down the box to the ground it turned out that the box was considerably heaverier than he was so while the box with the brick dropped down the man was pulled upwards. Halfway up he was injured when he colided with the box and he painfully jammed his fingers in the winch when he reached the top. The bottom of the box however with the bricks broke away when the box hit the ground, and the rest of the box was of course much lighter than the man. So now the man dropped quickly to the ground and was again injured when halfway he collided with the remains of the box. The poor guy hit the ground so heavily that he broke several bones and let go the rope. This however resulted in the remains of the box to come down again knocking the man out finally  :slap

Right...here's a joke I remembered from a long time ago.

One very windy day, a man comes into work and head upstairs to his cubicle to start a day's work. After working, all the employees went up to the top floor to the bar for a few drinks. The man and a friend got a bit merry and sat down and listened to the wind outside roaring around the building.
"Jeez! It's so windy today!" the man said.
"Yeah I know!" his friend said.
"You know...I bet it's so windy, if you jumped out of he window, it could blow you up to the roof!" the man then said laughing.
"No way! It's not that strong!" his friend said.
"No! I'll prove it! Watch..." the man said and he leapt out the open window. A few seconds later, the man came back in the room having jogged down the stairwell from the roof. The man's friend blinked in amazement.
"How?! How in the world did you do that?!" he blabbered.
"I told you! THe wind is that strong it can carry you up to the roof!" he replied. His friend was not convinced.
"Bet you can't do it again..." he edged. The man shrugged and ran up to the window and jumped out again. A few seconds later, he came down the stairs and back into the bar.
"I don't believe it! You actually did it!" the friend said. The man laughed and smiled.
"I told you!"
"Let me give it a go!" the friend said but as he leapt out of the window, he fell all the way to the bottom screaming. As everyone crowded around the window, another man turned to the first man and says,
"You've gotta stop pulling those pranks when you're drunk Superman!!"

This is not meant to cause any disrespect to Christopher Reeves so please don't think I posted this out of spite! OK?! :^.^:

One day three people are playing golf: Moses, Jesus, and God.
On the tee shot, Moses hits the ball about 200 yards, and about 150 yards from the hole.
Jesus takes his shot and he gets it about 225 years.
Then God steps up.  He hits the ball, a sparrow grabs the ball in his feet, and flies over to the hole and drops the ball about a foot from the hole and as the ball is still moving a gopher pops out of the hole and pulls it in.
Moses looks to Jesus and says, "That's the last time I play golf with your father."  :lol

Here's an article in my uni's fortnightly newsletter "Purple Wednesday". My uni's local area is deemed to have the themed colour of purple. Dunno why coz very little of the place IS actually purple LOL. Anywho...coz it's a uni letter aimed at students, it's got coarse language so I've censored it as far as possible and I'll blank those out and leave it to your imagination to what was said. Some of you may have heard these over the net but here goes:

Things I hate about everybody...(British Version)

People who point at their watch and ask for the time. I KNOW where my watch is pal, where's yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask for the toilet!

People who are will to get off their backsides to seaach the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually

When people say "Oh, you just want to have your cake and eat it!" Too &%$£*! right! What good's a cake if you can't eat it!

When people say "It's always in the last place you look." Of course it is! Why the $£*%&! would you keep looking after you found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

When people say while watching a film "Did you see that?!" No (rather rude English colloquialism). I paid £12 to come to the cinema and stare at the $&!£*@ floor

People who ask "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give me much of a choice did ya Sonny Jim?

When something's "new and improved". Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything like it before. If it's improved, then there must have been something before it

When people say "Life is short". WTF! Life is the longest damn thing anyone every *&$%^!"£@~ does!!! What can you do that's longer?!

When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came, would I still be standing here (insert obscene insult here)

McDonald's staff who pretend they don't understand you unless you insert the "Mc" before each item you are ordering......It's has to be a McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger gets a blank look...Well I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you Mc*bleep*

5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.

6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to

8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum

9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

10) I did not object to the object.

11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.

12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

13) They were too close to the door to close it.

14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.

15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.

16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. ???

17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail

18) After a number of injections my jaw got number.

19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.

20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests

21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?



There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in
pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in
France (Surprise!). Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't
sweet, are meat.



Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither
from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers
don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?



If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One
goose,
2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make
amends but not one amend. If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid
of all but one of them, what do you call it? Is it an odd, or an end?



If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats
vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite
at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have
noses that run and feet that smell?



How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a
wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a
language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill
in a form by filling it out, and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.



English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That
is why, when the
stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are
invisible.



P.S. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"?

Here's a joke I heard from one of my housemates I live with at Uni. For some reason, we were incredibly bored one weekend night (nothing on TV) so we ended up standing in the kitchen with a few bevvies and we started telling each other jokes. Here goes:

NB: - Dont be thrown by what's involved in this joke...just go with it! LOL  :D

A boiled sweet (yep, you read correctly) walks into a pub. He goes up to the bar and orders a drink. A little while later, a gobstopper (one of those sweets that you gotta suck for ages before you can bite it) comes up to the bar not too far away. After a few drinks, the boiled sweet and the gobstopper get talking but the conversation turns sour and they start arguing over who is hardest.

"I'm well 'ard!" the boiled sweet boasts, "My shell is so thick a bloke would crack his teeth trying to chomp me!"

"No you're not! I'm harder than you!" the gobstopper shouts, " With my multi-layers you've gotta work me down right to my centre before I'll break!" The bickering continues but eventually, a stick of gum who was listening in walks over to both of them and without breaking a sweat, beats both of them ten times to the dozen! He completely wipes the floor with them, no contest!

So, the boiled sweet and gobstopper are both lying on the floor in pieces and the gum goes to the bar for another drink. The bartender wanders over having watched the whole thing, and after handing the gum his drink, he asks him:

"Oi! How did you beat them two silly?! They're two of the hardest sweet around and you slaughter the pair of 'em! How?!"

"Who them? Oh...they may be hard but you see me? I'm just menthol!"

PMSL! Howz that one strike you?! LOL  :lol  :DD  :p

* Woman 2: "My son says that is call the 'recycle bin'. He tells me when I don't want a Word document anymore and I delete it, it really goes in there."
* Woman 1: "Why in the recycle thingy? Can't you just erase it?"
* Woman 2: "Oh no, Word wouldn't work for very long if I did that, I would run out of blank pages."
* Woman 1: "Why?"
* Woman 2: "Because it cleans the words off the pages, then sends the blank sheets back to Word so they can be used again. That's why it's called the recycle bin."

LOL... I had a similar experience

During an english class in the library a couple of kids were at one of the computer's and they couldn't get in, so my teacher told them to "reiniciate" the windows thingy, so they did... when that blue stuff that you always press enter to skip ahead appeared.. I saw that the kids were just staring at it so I told them to press enter one of the kids was going to press it but they other one stoped him yelling:

"Don't touch that! It'll ruin the computer... Can't you see its thinking?"

Informatics was certainly the least useful subject I had at school. Not so much because the subject were useless (it isn't) but because the students knew more than the teachers. The most obvious case was when our teacher was sitting in front of the computer, absolutely desperate because for some reason it "didn't start" until at last one of us had the mercy to switch on the screen of his computer  ;)

Here's a joke I heard from a friend:

There's a man in a cinema and he's sprawled out over several seat in a very stroppy fashion. A couple who booked two of the seats this man happens to be lying in turn up. They kindly ask the man to move but he just groans. Getting annoyed they call for the usher to deal with the problem. THe usher comes over and asks the man to move so the couple can sit in their designated seats. Again, the man barely moves and just groans at them. The usher begins to get very annoyed and warns the man that he will be forced to get the manager if he doesn't move. Yet again, the man just groans. So, the usher goes to get the manager (by now there is such a disturbance that the film has been stopped), and the manager arrives and bends down to talk to the man.
"Excuse me sir...what's your name?" the manager asks.
"S...Sam..." the man grumbles still sprawled out over these seats.
"Ok Sam," the manager continues, "where did you come from?" The man weakly points up to the ceiling and says,
"From the balcony..."

Here's a joke I got from an internet friend:

Once a month, David goes to visit his grandpa out in the sticks (the countryside) for a little quality time. As per usual, he gets dropped off  on a country lane and has to walk through the woodland up to his grandpa's place. He always knows he's almost there coz he can see his grandpa's old farmer's truck park just a little way from his log cabin. David finally arrives, greets his grandfather and soon explores the house. Being miles from nowhere, there was no electricity or hot water or anything. It's breakfast time and grandpa cooks a lovely breakfast of eggs and bacon. David offers to help clean up but grandpa insists he sit down and enjoy himself. David wanders into the kitchen just as his grandpa finishes washing up and he notices that the plates are a still a bit scummy.
"Grandpa..." David says, "These plates are still dirty." But grandpa quickly responds.
"They are as clean as cold water can get them." David shrugs it off and goes off to wander the forest.

Come lunchtime, David is called in but he quickly notices that his plate has a bit of dried on egg on it from breakfast. He turns to his grandfather.
"Grandpa! This plate is still dirty!" he says.
"It's as clean as cold water can get 'em!" his grandpa replies again. At dinner time, it's the same thing. THe plates are still dirty.
"Grandpa...this plate is STILL dirty!" David complains
"It's as clean as cold water can get them son!" Grandpa replied again.

The next day, David wakes up and his grandpa asks him to go into town to get some food for breakfast. David agrees and goes outside to fetch the wagon. As he comes up to the shed, he find a rather mean looking dog sitting in the wagon bearing its teeth rather menacingly.
"Grandpa!" David shouts back at the house, "there's a nasty dog sitting in the wagon! What should I do?" Suddenly, grandpa comes stumbling out of the house and shouts to the dog.
"Bad Cold Water! Get down boy! Bad dog!"

"No, it's not that.  This is the worst day of my life.  First I show up late for work and got fired, then my car was stolen, the cops could do nothing.  I got mugged on my way home and lost my wallet and credit cards.  I come home and see my wife kissing a FedEx guy.  I was sitting at this bar and was thinking of putting an end to my life, when you show up and drink all my poison."   :lol

Okay, here's one straight from Jeff Foxworthy of Blue Collar TV:

Dating:

Jeff:  The hardest thing about being single has got to be the dating stuff.  Any guys in the room go out with a girl that forgot to tell you she had a boyfriend?  That is information you need!  That happened to me.  I went out with this girl one time and we had a nice time.  We went out to dinner and after dinner we came back to my apartment, and we were at my place for half an hour when there is a knock on my front door.  I went out, opened the door and there is this 250 pound guy staring at me going, "What in the hell do you think you're doing with her?" And I looked him right in the eyes and said, "I'm cutting her damn hair and you're just going to have to wait, all right?"

---End Scene---

I know that was a little inapporpriate, but it's good for a laugh, right? :lol

THE GAY FLIGHT ATTENDANT
My flight was being served by an obviously
gay flight attendant, who seemed
to put everyone in a good mood as he
served
us food and drinks.

As the plane prepared to descend,
he came swishing down the aisle and told
us that "Captain Marvey has asked me to
announce that he'll be landing the
big scary plane shortly, so lovely people,
if you could just put your trays
up, that would be super."

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic looking woman hadn't moved a muscle. "Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground."

She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one."

To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat,

"Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you.  Tray-up, Bitch."

It seems like were in to jokes again!

The closet

A woman sits at home in her living room. She did some thinking, and realized she needed a new closet. So, she went to the nearest furniture store, and bougt one. When she got home, she put it together and leaned back, proad of her work.
Then, the tram passes by outside, and the closet falls together on the floor.
The woman is stunned, but thinks; Probably just a coincidence...
So she puts it back together again.
A couple of minutes later, the tram passes by again.
Same story, the closet falls to the floor.
The woman gets grumpy, and picks up her phone and makes a call to the store, asking them to send a specialist.
After a while the specialist, a man, arrives.
"So, what's the problem?" he asks.
"Every time the tram passes by outside, my closet here falls together!" the woman complains.
"Hmmm, you'll have to prove that, mam'." the man says.
So, they put the closet back together and waits.
Once again, the tram passes by and the closet falls into peices.
"Hmmm... well, it might be something inside the closet... lets put it back together again!" the man says. And so they do.
"Now, I'm going to sit inside the closet this time, and we'll see what happends!"
The man enters the closet and the woman sits down and waits.
As she waits, her husband gets home.
"Hi darling! Oh, that is a smashing closet you've bought!"
He walks over and opens the closet, and the man says:
"You won't belive me know... but I'm waiting for the tram!"

He hands the boy a traffic ticket for not having a tail light.

Haha, that's pretty good F-14 Ace!

A late good friend of mine showed me this one:

A hillbilly was stopped by a game warden in West Virginia recently with
two ice chests of fish.  He was leaving a cove well known for its
fishing.  The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch
those fish?"
"Naw, sir, I ain't got none of them there licenses, no.  You must
understand these here are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?" said the game warden.
"Ya.  Every night I take these here fish down to da lake and let them
swim 'round for a while.  Then I whistle and they jump rat back into this
here ice chest and I take them home."
"That's a bunch of hooey!  Fish can't do that!" says the warden.  The
hillbilly looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, "It's
the truth Mr.Government man, I'll show you.  It really works."  "Okay,"
said the game warden.  "I've GOT to see this!"  The hillbilly poured the
fish into the lake and stood and waited.  After several minutes, the game
warden turned to him and said, "Well?"
"Well, what?" said the hillbilly.
The warden said, "When are you going to call them back?"  The hillbilly
said, "Call who back?"
"The FISH!" replied the warden.
"What fish?" answered the hillbilly.

Those in West Virginia may not be as smart as some city slickers, but
they aren't as dumb as most government employees..

May as well get in on the act.

A guy walks into a bar and grabs a pint. He then sees and old friend he hadn't seen in a while sitting just next to him.
"Hey mate! Haven't seen you for ages!" he said.
"Hey buddy, long time no see!" his friend replies. The man then notices a small box next to his friend.
"What's in the box?" the man asks. his friend pushes the box in front of him, along the bar-top, opens it up and a little man jumps out with a piano and starts playing.
"Wow! He's great, where'd you get that little man from?" he asks as the tiny man wheels his piano back in the box and shuts the lid behind him.
"There's a place over the other side of town that grants wishes," the friend says.
"Wickid! I'm gonna head there tomorrow then!" the man says excitedly.
Then next day, the same man walks into the bar to meet his friend again but this time he's being followed by flamingo. The friend chokes on his beer as the man sits down and orders a drink.
"Mate! What the hell are you doing with a flamingo?!" the friend gawked.
"I went to that place that grants wishes today and saw the old man in there but he's almost deaf. He's really hard of hearing," the man said.
"What did you wish for?" the friend then asked.
"For a tall bird with long legs that like the colour pink," the man said disappointed. The man pats his friend on the shoulder in empathy,
"Don't worry man, he got mine wrong too."
"How'd you mean mate?" the man asks.
"Well, it's not like I went in there to ask for a 12-inch pianist!"

Hehe, here's another one:


The Drunk Priest

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.  After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.  The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass.  If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."  So, next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.  At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.  He proceeded to talk up a storm.  Upon his return to his office after mass, he found the following note on the door:


1. Sip the Vodka, don't gulp.


2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.


3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.


4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.


5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.


6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.


7.The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as daddy, junior and the spook.


8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the s*** out of him.


9. When David was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his a**.


10. We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."


11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me".

12. The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry".


13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, yeah God.


14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy-pulling contest at St.Peter's, not a peter-pulling contest at St.Taffy's.

A police officer pulls over this guy who had been weaving in and out of the lanes.
He goes up to the guy's window and says, "Sir, I need you to blow into this breathalyzer tube."
The man says, "Sorry officer I can't do that. I am an asthmatic. If I do that I'll have a really bad asthma attack."
"Okay, fine. I need you to come down to the station to give a blood sample." "I can't do that either. I am a hemophiliac. If I do that, I'll bleed to death."
"Well, then we need a urine sample."
"I'm sorry officer I can't do that either. I am also a diabetic. If I do that I'll get really low blood sugar."
"Alright then I need you to come out here and walk this white line."
"I can't do that, officer."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm too drunk to do that."

After getting nailed by a Daisy Cutter, Osama bin Laden made his way to the pearly gates. There, he is greeted by George Washington.
“How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!” yells Mr. Washington, slapping Osama in the face and punching him in the stomach.

Patrick Henry comes up from behind.

“You wanted to end the Americans’ liberty, so they gave you death!” Henry punches Osama in the face.

James Madison comes up next, and says “This is why I allowed the Federal government to provide for the common defense!” He kicks Osama in the groin, knocks him to the ground, and stomps on his face.

Osama is subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe, and 65 other early Americans who have the same love for liberty and America.

As he writhes on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picks him up to hurl him back toward the gate where he is to be judged.

As Osama awaits his journey to his final very hot destination, he screams “This is not what I was promised!”

The prophet Muhammad appears and replies “I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you, idiot. What did you think I said?”

Something my mother got in her mail at work, which she shared with us around the dinner table last night.

The 6 year old and the 4 year old sits in their room, playing.
Suddenly, the 6 year old makes a proposal:

-Hey! I think you and I should start swearing!

The 4 year old agrees with commitment.

-Okay, so when we go down later to eat breakfast, I'll say something with f*ck in it, and you'll say something with damn in it?

-Yeah, let's do that! says the 4 year old.

Moments later, they're both called down to the kitchen, where their mother greets them.

-So, what'll you two have for breakfast today? she asks.

The 6 year old stands up and says:

-For f*ck sake mom! You know I always have oatmeal for breakfast!

The 6 year old is dragged down from his chair in seconds and gets a load lecture, the spankings and is sent to his room in tears.
Then the mother turns around to the 4 year old, hands to the sides and with strict expression.

-And what will YOU have!?

The 4 year old, terrified:

-I don't know mother! But you'll be damn sure it's not oatmeal!

Signs You're Too Fat For Your Pants

*You've lost the feeling below your ankles.

*When you walk you have to waddle like a duck, so you fabricate a story about a knee-injury to dismiss curious onlookers.

*When you wake up in the morning you can still see the impression of where your keys were in your pants pocket the night before.

*The last time you tried to retrieve your wallet from your back pocket you lost a finger.

*Your farts take up to three-and-a-half minutes from start to finish, and produce the sound frequency of a dog whistle.

*People ask you questions like, "Are you a professional scuba diver, or do you just wear the gear?"

*The last time you sat down, the top button of your pants snapped off with the speed of a hunting rifle, injuring a co-worker.

*It takes you forty-five minutes to put them on, even with the aid of a small crane and a power winch.

*When you ask for an honest opinion, your spouse tells you your pants look great.

*Your name is Al Roker.
