The 7 dwarves go to see the pope led by dopey. he goes up to the pope and says "your eminence are there any dwarf nuns here in Rome?" The pope says "sorry my son, there are no dwarf nuns in Rome"
The rest of the dwarves start to laugh and dopey tells them to shut up
He goes back up to the pope and Says "Are there any dwarf nuns in Europe?" The pope says "sorry my son there are no dwarf nuns in Europe" The other dwarves fall about laughing and again dopey tells them to shut up
He goes back to the Pope and asks him a third question "Your eminence, are there and dwarf nuns in the world?"
The Pope has to go check with his advisors, he comes back and says"No my son there are no dwarf nuns in the world"
This is too much for the other dwarves, who by this time are hystericaly shouting "Dopey shagged a penguin"

Three guys go to a ski lodge, and there aren't enough rooms, so they have to share a bed. In the middle of the night, the guy on the right wakes up and says, "I had this wild, vivid dream of getting a hand job!" The guy on the left wakes up, and unbelievably, he's had the same dream, too. Then the guy in the middle wakes up and says, "That's funny, I dreamed I was skiing!"

A dog, a cat, and a penis are sitting around a camp fire one night. The dog says, "My life sucks, my master makes me do my business on a fire hydrent!". The cat says, "I don't think so, my master makes me do my business in a box of cat litter." The penis outraged, says "At least your master doesn't put a bag over your head and make you do push ups until you throw up!" love Patrish xxxx

A jockey who had never ridden a losing horse was asked, upon his retirement, what his secret was.

He said, "I just whispered a little poem into the horse's ear before the race:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Horses that lose
Are made into glue.

Someone once asked a famous (male) jockey what he thought if he was beaten by a woman rider, and he answered "that she had a faster horse." Some people aren't necessarily sexist...but here is my favorite sexist joke: Why don't women have brains?

...because they don't have a penis to carry them around in!

In order to carry on the low tone set by my esteemed friend Patrish...A penguin is driving through a small town when his car breaks down. He takes it into a garage who reckon they can look at it in half an hour or so. The penguin decides to go and have some lunch while he's waiting and finds the nearest Iceland where he buys a tub of ice-cream and a packet of fish fingers, then he sets off back to the garage dipping the fish fingers in to the ice cream and having a thoroughly lovely time.
He gets back to the garage to find the mechanic underneath his car, so he bends down ( not easy for a penguin) and says "What's the trouble then , mate?". Mechanic looks up and says " I reckon you've blown a seal"
" No, I haven't" says the penguin, hastily wiping his mouth..."it's just ice-cream"

A 75 year old woman went to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor told her she needed more activity and recommended sex three times a week. She said to the doctor: "Please, tell my husband." The doctor goes out in the waiting room and tells the husband that his wife needs to have sex three times a week.

The 80 year old husband replies: "Which days?"

The doctor says, "How about Monday, Wednesday and Friday."

The husband says, "I can bring her Monday and Wednesday, but on Fridays she'll have to take the bus."

Okay, last one today, I swear.

-----

A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked "Johnny, what is your problem?

Johnny answered, "I'm too smart for the first grade. My sister is in 3rd grade & I am smarter than she is! I think I should be in 3rd grade too!"

The teacher had had enough. She took Johnny to the principal's office. While Johnny waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the problem was. The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions, he was to go back to the first grade and behave. The teacher agreed.

Johnny is brought in and the conditions are explained to him & he agrees to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"

Johnny: "9".

Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"

Johnny: "36".

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third grader should know. The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think Johnny can go to the 3rd grade."

The teacher says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions." The principal and Johnny both agree.

The teachers asks, "What does a cow have 4 of that I have only 2 of?"

Johnny, after a moment: "Legs."

Teacher: "What's in your pants that you have but I do not have?"

The principle's eyes open really wide, but before he could stop the answer, Johnny replied, "Pockets."

Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"

Johnny: "Pants"

Teacher: "What word starts with an "F" and ends in "K" that means a lot of excitement?"

Johnny: "Firetruck"

The principal breathes a sigh of relief and tells the teacher, "Put Johnny in 5th grade, I missed the last four questions myself."

A new employee is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory. The personnel manager explains her duties, and tells her to report to work promptly at 8:00 AM.

The next day at 8:45AM, there's a knock at the personnel manager's door. The assembly line foreman comes in and starts ranting about this new employee. He says she's incredibly slow, and the whole line is backing up. The foreman takes the personnel manager down to the factory floor to show him the problem. Sure enough, Elmos are backed up all over the place.

At the end of the line is the new employee. She has a roll of the material used for the Elmos and a big bag of marbles. They both watch as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles, and starts sewing the little package between Elmo's legs.

The personnel manager starts laughing hysterically. After several minutes, he pulls himself together, walks over to the woman, and says, "I'm sorry, I guess you misunderstood me yesterday. Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles."

Three mice are sitting in a bar in a pretty rough neighborhood late at night trying to impress each other about how tough they are. The first mouse slams a shot of scotch, and pounds the shot glass to the bar, turns to the second mouse and says: "When I see a mousetrap, I get on it, lie on my back, and set it off with my foot. When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth, and then bench press it 100 times."

The second mouse orders up two shots of tequila. He grabs one in each paw, slams the shots, and pounds the glasses to the bar. He turns to the other mice and replies: "Yeah, well when I see rat poison, I collect as much as I can and take it home. In the morning, I grind it up into a powder and put it in my coffee so I get a good buzz going for the rest of the day."

The first mouse and the second mouse then turn to the third mouse. The third mouse lets out a long sigh and says to the first two, "I don't have time for this bullshit. I gotta go home and f*** the cat."

I don't know if this will spread happiness or anger. I'm at work and don't have time for the entire jokes, so I'll leave you with the punch lines, which quite possibly might be a major violation of joke-telling protocol. On the other hand, it might not. The thing is, I don't recall the actual joke for a couple of the punchlines.

"I went to the pub next door to see if I could do it."

"The rest of us usually ride the camel into town."

"Take the Domino's pizza sign off the roof."

"Yeah, but look how wide it is."

"I'm lookin' for the man who shot my paw."

"He just thinks he's Jack Nicklaus."

Someones going to lose a trailer.

"He sure as hell did, ma, he went and f***ed the brown cow again."

"I should have told you yesterday."

"That guy over there wants to buy your shoe."

Everyone ignores him. He says, I can whip any man in this county!

This big guy gets tired of this. He rises and makes his way to the first guy and looms over him.

I can fill in the camel joke( wouldn't you just know it......Officer gets posted to the French Foreign Legion, Outpost from Hell Division.All they have there are a couple of tents, a well and a camel.
New chap says " I say, corporal! What does one do when one is a feeling in need of ....erm...female company, so to speak?" Corporal says " Well Sir, we just avail ourselves of the camel". New chap is a little startled by this and decides, as it isn't a particularly attractive specimen, he isn't likely ever to become that desperate.....however...some weeks and months go by and damn me if that camel isn't looking kind of fetching after all.
Eventually his resolve crumbles and he orders the men to get the beast bathed and sent into his tent where a night of passion ensues.Chap emerges from his tent the following morning looking somewhat shamefaced but a lot relieved and says," Damn good idea, having that camel about".The corporal says " Well, yes, I suppose so, but the rest of us usually just ride it into town".

An old farmer goes to the doctor. The doctor asks him, "What's wrong?"

The man says, "I must be getting old."

The doctor says, "Well, what are the symptoms?"

The man says, "Well, I can't taste anything. I can't ever tell the truth. And my memory is going bad."

The doctor goes outside and finds some horseshit, which he rolls into little balls. He puts several of them into a bottle and gives them to the man. He tells him to take one right away, and that he should chew it up.

The man pops one pill into his mouth, chews it, and spits it out, saying, "Damn! That tastes like horseshit!"

The doctor says, "Well, I see it has cured your sense of taste. And you can tell the truth pretty good. And if you ever think you have lost your memory, just take another one of them pills."

Ok 1 final one before I go lie down in a darkened room.

SPELLING ERROR

Two monks were working busily in the scriptorium copying the sacred manuscript. The younger monk asks the older "Brother is this word right" to which the elder replies "Of course, carry on writing."

After a little while the young monk again looks troubled and to set his mind at rest the elder monk says he will go down to the vault and check what they have written against the original.

Lunch time arrives and the old monk has still not returned from the vault, but the young man assumes he is checking the document very thoroughly, so he carries on working.

However when it is time for the evening meal and the older monk has still not returned from the vault the young man becomes worried and rushes to tell the abbott.

Together the two men make thier way down to the vault and are worried to hear weeping and wailing. Thinking thier brother must be injured they hurry onwards, the distressed sound ringing in thier ears. At last they reach the door of the vault and there in the middle of the room sits the old monk tears streaming down his face.

"What is wrong my son?" asks the abbott anxiously, the old man lifts his tear stained face and wails "It said Celebrate, Celebrate."

A few silly bits.

The Name of the Game

cricket n Extremely popular British sport with no discernible rules, beginning, end, or point. It's not clear that there ever is a winner

polo n. An Anglo-Indian game in which two teams on horseback flay away at a small ball with mallets. Devised by the Brits in India and Burma between tea breaks. The fact that the time units are call chukkers indicates that gin plays a role, somewhere, in the whole process.

poussette n. A country style dance in which couples join hands, swing around the floor, and generally act like they enjoy living in rural poverty. Comes from the French (which figures somehow) and might have something to do with the mental state one has to be in to consider using cabbage for soup with snails as a main course.

soccer n. A European warm-up exercise for rioting.
