Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2021 From: Steve Shaw Date: 20 Mar 21 - 08:04 AM A few years ago I was sat in a waiting room full of people at our local cottage hospital, waiting for an X-Ray on my shoulder.

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2021 From: Raggytash Date: 23 Mar 21 - 06:47 PM For crying out Donuel, how many times do you need to be told you "humour" is not humourous. A vicar goes to a dog rescue centre and tells the owner that he would like a new dog and if he can get a rescue dog that would be great and if it had some sort of religious connotation that would be even better But I don't want a St Bernard. The owner says I got just the dog for you, but it's not out here, I've got it in the house. So the vicar follows him into his house where he is shown a very young and very bonny King Charles Spaniel. Well he says thats a very pretty dog, very pretty indeed but what is the religious connotation? Ah say the man watch this. He calls out "Bible!" and the dog runs into his library and comes running back with the bible. That's marvellous say the vicar he can play fetch but it's not that surprising. No, no says the owner. Watch this. "Genesis!" the dog flicks the page open to Genesis. "Leviticus!" say the owner the dog flicks the page to Leviticus. "Kings!" shouts the owner, the dog dutifully opens the correct page. That's astonishing say the Vicar how much do you want for him. One hundred pounds say the owner. I'll take him says the vicar. So the vicar arrives home back to the presbytery and calls to his wife "I've got us a beauty little dog and it really is quite special" His wife comes down and is smitten by the little King Charles Spaniel but asks her husband I know it's a bonny little dog but whats the religious connotation. Watch this he says. "Bible!" the dog runs into his study and returns with the Bible. Clever says his wife it can plat fetch but that's not so unusual. No, no says the vicar watch this. "Psalms!" the dog flicks the pages to Psalms "Exodus!" the god flicks the pages to the correct one. That's amazing says his wife, amazing. Can it do any normal doggy tricks. Don' know say the vicar I'll try it now "heel!" he shouts, he dog jumps up and put both it's paws on his head !! |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2021 From: Mrrzy Date: 02 Sep 21 - 01:48 PM Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life. As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played "Amazing Grace", the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head was hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen anything like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years." Apparently, I'm still lost. |
Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2021 From: Georgiansilver Date: 02 Sep 21 - 02:10 PM The funeral was held today for the man who invented air conditioning. Hundreds of fans attended. The man who invented the ‘Hokey Cokey’ died last week. Things went OK until they tried to put him in his coffin…. ‘’They put his left leg in’’…………. It was difficult to overcome my addiction to the ‘Hokey-Cokey’ but I turned myself round and that’s what it’s all about. The man who invented speedboats died on Monday. His funeral, tomorrow, is followed by a ‘wake’. Apparently the man who invented predictive text has passed away. His funfair is on Monkey. Apparently the man who invented cough lozenges has died….. There’ll be no coffin at his funeral. At my funeral, I want the bouquet taken from my coffin and thrown to the crowd, to see who’s next!! Yesterday, the man who invented Velcro died…. RIP. The man who invented the remote control died yesterday. He is being buried down the back of a sofa. One of the top pianists in the world died yesterday. His funeral will be low key. |

Sir Douglas was giving a talk about his experiences in the War to an assembly of girls in a very posh private school:- "There were two fuckers to my left, two fuckers to my right and even more fuckers behind me." The headmistress went very pale, stood up and announced to the girls, "A Fokker was a German aircraft, girls." Bader replied, "True Ma'am, but these fuckers were Messerschmitts!"

The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Then he blushed. The two turned once again to gaze out over the loch. Minutes passed and the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus." "Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's noo aboot time for a wee cuddle." The girl blushed, then leaned over and cuddled him for a few seconds. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch. After a while, she again said, "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus." "Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's aboot time you let me put my hand on your leg." The girl blushed, then took his hand and put it on her knee. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the lock before the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus." The young man glanced down with a furled brow. "Well, noo," he said, "my thoughts are a wee bit more serious this time." "Really?" said the lass in a whisper, filled with anticipation. "Aye," said the lad, nodding. The girl looked away in shyness, began to blush, and bit her lip in anticipation of the ultimate request. Then he said, "Dae ye nae think it's aboot time ye paid me the first three pennies?" |

"Well..there was this one time when I touched one with my pinky finger..." "Hmm. Well, wash your pinky in that holy water there and you can come in." "Now, Sister Christine. Same question: have you ever touched a penis?" "Well...there was this one time when I held one in this hand for just a minute..." "Hmmm. Well wash that hand in the holy water and you can come in..." Just then there was a kerfuffle in the queue as Sister Helen tried to barge in front of Sister Judy. "Now, now, there's no rush, Sister Helen. What do you think you're doing?" said St Peter.

Subject: RE: BS: Joke Thread for 2021 From: Bill D Date: 21 Sep 21 - 10:34 AM ...so, there was this well-to-do old farmer who managed to snare himself a pretty young wife. He was a likeable sort, and folks just shrugged. They knew she sort of expected to inherit a nice farm in a few years, but he knew what he wanted. So, one day he was in town for his annual checkup, and told the doc he had a serious question. "Doc, you know I ain't as young as I usta be, and them romantic feelings..*wink, wink* are a bit scarcer than they were 30 years ago...Now, when I'm plowing down in the south 40, sometimes I get the urge...but by the time I get back up to the house,I'm so tired it's gone again. You got any ideas?" "Hmmmm, John", says the doc, "you know, your place is pretty isolated. Why don't you just take a blanket and your shotgun with you on the tractor, then when you feel in the mood, you can fire off the gun as a signal to Sally to come down to YOU!...She's a bit younger" "Well, durn Doc, that's a fine idea! I'll try it!" So....several months later, the doctor meets old John on the street, and can't resist asking..."Hey, John, how did that idea work out...about taking the blanket and shotgun down with you during plowing?" "Waaal, you know, Doc....that worked pretty damn good...for about 2-3 weeks....then huntin' season started, and I ain't seen her since!" |
