Well, this isn't really a joke - it's an actual entry from the Parish Bulletin of my Catholic church:

Wed. 4/15:
    6:30 PM: Bingo
    7:00 PM: Gamblers Anonymous
My wife and I about died laughing, but we don't have the heart to point this out to the woman who makes the schedule. Looks like we have those same activities scheduled every Wednesday nowadays. I stay away from the church on Wednesday nights - those bingo ladies can be mean...

Another gem I first saw on a men's room wall in a local tavern. It's and old one and has adorned many such walls, but it's a classic:

"To be is to do." --Aristotle

"To do is to be." --Jean-Paul Sartre

"To be or not to be?" --Shakespeare

"Do be do be do…" --Frank Sinatra

Not exactly from the church bulletin...a friend was serving his internship from seminary at a little conservative country church, they put an announcement in the local paper, and someone typoed; it was supposed to be a potluckdinner.

Men's room wisdom? from a pizza place near Northwestern University, thirty-some years ago: first handwriting:"The pizza here is lousy"; second handwriting: "I'd rather eat the waitress"; third handwriting: "I did; the pizza tastes better".

Since we are into loo-wall graffiti; I once found the following two verses on the walls of adjacent cubicles in the Gents' at Cambridge Circus:-

One would think for all this wit
That Shakespeare had been here to shit
And after all that might be true
For Shakespeare had an arsehole too
.,,.

A man's ambition must be small
To write his name upon this wall
For even Shakespeare did not write
When he sat down to have a shite


Now that's what you might call a literary controversy, innit eh?

On the almost Shakespeare quote, I forget how many wannabe comics in folk clubs contrived this into a song introduction ;

On their first date, the young man took his girl to the fair.
"What would you like to do?" he asked.
"I want to get weighed," was her reply.
So they went to the booth where a man could "Guess your Weight and Height, $1."
He correctly guessed she was 5 foot 4 inches, and weighed 105 pounds.
Next the boy took her to the merry-go-round, then asked "What would you like to do now?"
Her reply, "I want to get weighed."
Back to the booth they went, and found that she was still 5 foot 4, and 105 pounds.
"Would you like to try some of the fair food?" he asked.
"No, I want to get weighed,' she replied.
Frustrated, he dragged her back to his car, sped to her home, and cast her out. Then he sped away.
"How was your date?" her mom asked.
"Wousey!"

This is supposed to be true, but I've never believed it.
My father was a navvy and, because he wasn't afraid to speak his mind he was given the job as spokesman for the men - his main job was to try and get the appalling toilet facilities on the sites improved.
The system in those days was, when a site started up they would dig a large pit, place an oildrum at either end and put a plank stretching across to sit on - then they would lower a hut over it.
When the pit was full, they would lift the hut off with a crane, fill in the pit and go and dig another one somewhere else on the site.
My dad used to tell the story of when he went into one of these huts and found one of his workmates in the pit, up to his knees in the mess, with one arm fishing round underneath, obviously looking for something.
"What are you doing Tommy?"
"To tell the truth Jimmy, I came in, took my jacket off, hung it over the plank and began to do what I came in to do when my jacket fell in".
"For crying out loud, you can't possibly wear it again after it's been in there".
"I know that, but my sandwiches are in the pocket."

Two guys were amusing themselves and each other by coming up the various charades and trying to stump each other. One of the two kept solving the charades consistently, so the other decided he had to come up with a really elaborate one.

He hired sixteen strippers and had them partially disrobe, stand in a row in a specific sequence, and face specified directions. The first was bare from the waist up and faced the front. The second was bare from the waist down with her posterior to the front. The next two pairs of women were the same, and the next two had their posteriors to the front. The next eight women lined up in an identical pattern.

"It's a piece of music," he said to his opponent. "Can you guess what it is?"

His opponent studied the line-up for about a minute, then he said, "AHA!! I've GOT it! It's the 'William Tell Overture!'"

The first guy smacked himself in the forehead and said, "You're right. But how did you figure it out?"

"Easy," said the other guy. "It's obvious.

Young couple go out on their first date, find a secluded spot and after a while things began to get passionate.
"If things are going to go any further", she says, you're going to have to wear one".
"Wear one what? he says.
"You know" she says.
"Don't know what you're talking about", he says.
So she explains to him what's needed.
"Where am I going to get one of them things this time of night?" he says.
"You're in luck", she says, "I always carry one in my handbag in case of an emergency".
She takes one out and hands it to him.
"What do I do with this? he asks.
Rolling her eyes up in frustration, she takes it out of the wrapping and demonstrates by rolling it down her thumb.
"Right", he says, and back to the job in hand.
After a while she says, "are you sure you've got it on properly, I'm all wet?.
"Sure, look", he says, sticking his thumb up.

somewhat dubious one
A new barman gets a job in a pub next door to a day-centre for the deaf and dumb.
The Governor takes him through all his duties and teaches him the signs for all the drinks - crossed hands - pint of beer, two fingers three inches above one another - small whiskey, - four inches above each other - large whiskey... etc.
Rather nervous, he makes a start on the first morning - and flies it.... not a single mistake during the entire day.
Come closing time at three oclock, he goes into the crowded bar to call "time" - total silence, but every single customer is standing or sitting and swinging their hands up to shoulder height in perfect rhythm with each other.
Puzzled, he walks into the lounge, only to find that exactly the same is happening - silence, but all hands being swung up and down in rhythm.
In a panic, he seeks out the Governor and explains what's happening.
"Oh shit" says the Governor, "we'll never get them home now they've started to sing".

THREE LITTLE DUCKS WADDLE INTO A BAR

Three little ducks waddle into a bar. 

"Good afternoon!" the bartender says to the first duck. "What's your name?"

"Huey," says the first duck.

"How's your day been, Huey?"

"Great. Lovely day.  Been in and out of puddles all day. What else could a duck want?" said Huey.

"That's nice," said the bartender. He turned to the second duck, "And what's your name?"

"Dewey," came the answer from duck number two.

"So how's your day been, Dewey?" he asked.

"Great. Lovely day. Been in and out of puddles all day myself. What else could a duck want?"

The bartender turned to the third duck and said, "So, you must be Louie?"

"No," she said, batting her eyelashes. "My name is Puddles."

A farmer noticed one morning that one of his cows was cross-eyed, so he called in his veterinarian. The veterinarian asked the farmer for a length of hose. He put one end of the hose up the cow's ass, and blew hard into the other end. Sure enough, the cow's eyes straightened out right away.

The next week, however, the cow was cross-eyed again. "Hell," said the farmer, "No point in paying the vet again; now I know what to do." So he repeated the treatment, but this time it was unsuccessful. So he called the vet, who arrived promptly & studied the situation. He pulled the hose out of the cow, put the other end in, and then blew. Sure enough, it worked.

"Why did you have to use the other end?" asked the farmer. "Hell," said the veterinarian, "I didn't want to use the end you'd had in your mouth."

-- Reminds me, vaguely, of a very old insult, I think by Martial, which might be translated freely:

It isn't good manners to toast without passing the cup,
But, seeing it's you, I suppose you're just being considerate.

A mouse was making his way though a forest when he came across an elephant pinned to the ground by a rotting tree branch which had fallen on its trunk - it had been there for several days and was in a pretty bad way.
The mouse set-to with a vengeance, scraping and burrowing under the branch for a long-long time, until at last, the elephant was able to drag itself free.
Overcome with gratitude, the elephant profusely thanked the mouse and told him that anything it could possibly do in return, it was there for the asking.
The mouse looked a little embarrassed, and finally said; "to tell you the truth, as stupid as it may sound, I've always wanted to make love to an elephant".   
"No problem", says the elephant.
So they sat down, worked out how it was going to be done, and made a start.
They hadn't been at it for a minute or so, when another huge rotten tree branch broke and smacked the elephant squarely across the head - she let out a might roar.
"I'm sorry", said the mouse, "was I being too rough?"

"I'm a pig - the farmer fattens me up all my life and when I die, I'm sent off to be slaughtered and my meat feeds people and my skin is used to make useful things".
Next, a chicken - "I'm a chicken - a lay eggs every morning and when I die, my meat is used for food and my feathers are used to make bedding".
As sheep; "I'm a sheep, I'm a sheep and I eat grass and the farmer regularly cuts my wool to make clothes, and when I die my meat feeds people and my skin is taken o make coats".   
A cow - "I'm a cow and I'm milked every morning, and when I die, my skin is used to make leather and my meat feeds people".
Finally, the zebra trots off to the meadow to eat some grass, and in the corner of the field she sees an enormous great bull.
She trots over and says, "I suppose you're another cow?"

One night, after an exceptionally bad run of television programmes, she is preparing to go to bed and she lets out a loud sigh - "I wish I had someone to keep me company".
A passing Fairy Godmother hears her wish, points her magic wand and, FLASH - her tom cat turns into a handsome young man.
Delighted, she sits him down and tells him to make himself comfortable, then she races to the kitchen, prepares him a meal, sets the table for two, with candles and wine, and eventually, calls him in to eat.
They sit down to eat the delicious meal, open the wine and finish the bottle, then they relax on the sofa.
"Wouldn't it be nice", she said, "if we were now to go to bed and make passionate love".

An amateur acting company decided to put on a Shakespeare festival in hopes that it might become an annual event. They spend most of their meagre resources on sets and costumes, but they justified that expenditure by assuming that they could reuse them.

But they forgot about publicity—and posters – until their funds were all but gone. They could get some free publicity by asking local radio stations to put on public service announcements.

And one of their company volunteered to come up with a design for an inexpensive poster they could have distributed.

They forgot, however, that this particular volunteer had a penchant for double entendres and was absolutely obsessed with sex.

He presented them with a design that would be economical to print. He condensed the titles:
3"         6"          9"
Wet                Dry
    Miscarriage
They stared at the poster, then said "We don't get it. How are people supposed to know what plays we have lined up?"

"Isn't it obvious?" he says, and explains:
3" = Much Ado about Nothing.
6" = As You Like It.
9" = The Taming of the Shrew.
Wet = A Midsummer Night's Dream
Dry = Twelfth Night.
Miscarriage = Love's Labours Lost.

The only difference between the two, the bloke down the road was on the dole, the social security, and he was picking up more money than this poor sod working on the farm.
So one day he thought to himself, "If I had the sack, I should be better off." So when he went to work Monday morning the farmer set him out in the field spreading heaps of dung and he went to sleep beside hayrick. This went on with three or four days, you see. So one afternoon the farmer thought he would go and see how he was getting on. When he gets out to the other one, a heap of dung had been spread and he found him asleep. So he kick him in the boots and woke him up and told him to come in and get his cards. So he went in and got his cards.
But the trouble was, you see, the next day he had to go to the labour exchange to sign on. And on the way in, he thought to himself, "Well, I must be clever here, because if I say I'm ... he'll sure to ask me what my occupation is, and if I say I'm a farmworker, there's plenty of farm work about and he'll put me on a farm again."
So off he goes into the office, the bloke behind the office, and he looks up and he says, "Good morning, what can I do for you?"
He says "I'm come in to sign on."
"Oh yes," the bloke said. "In case a job comes up for you, what's your occupation?"
"Oh," he said, "I'm a liontamer."
The bloke said, "What a coincidence," he said. "Yesterday the circus moved into town and the liontamer got mauled by a lion and he's in hospital. Here's your green card, and you go down and take the job."
Couldn't do nothing about it so away he goes down. When he gets there, there was the ringmaster outside the ... outside the cage, you see, and the old bloke was shaking like hell.
And he said, "Well," he said, "I don't think I shall be any good with this job because I can see they lions don't know me, they don't like me."
"Oh," he said, "you'll get used to it after a few mauls and scratches."
"Well," he said, "you'll have to tell me what to do."
Well the old bloke said, the old ringmaster said, "That's easy," he said. "All you do," he says, "you put your hand down, catch hold of a lump of meat," he said, "and throw in over the cage." He said, "You slide open the cage door," he said, "and make sure to slide the cage door shut behind thee," he said, "and make sure never to take your eyes off a lion else he'll have 'ee."
"Oh Christ," he said. "I've got to do..."
"Oh yes," he said.
"Well," he said, "what do I do then?"
Well he said, "You creep over," he said, "grab the meat and pull it away from the lion."
"Christ," he said. "What the hell do I do then?"
"Well," he said, "you'll find the lion coming towards thee, very gently. Then he's a-just about to pounce at 'ee."
"Well," he said, "what the hell do I do then?"
"Well," he said, "you go backwards," he said, "and you'll finish with your back up against the cage," he said, "and just before the lion's going to jump, pounce at thee," he said, "you keep your eye on the lion," he said, "but put your hand down," he said, "pick up a lump of dung and throw it right in his face."
"Oh," he said, "oh," he said, "no, oh," he said, "that's all right," he said, "but suppose there ain't no dung down there?"
He said, "There will be."

So also: When Napoleon invaded Russia, he wore a red shirt, so that in case he was wounded, his men wouldn't notice.

When Hitler invaded Russia, he wore brown pants.

Bound to upset somebody:
A trainee priest decides to have a taste of the world so he goes into Soho and finds a woman.
Back in her flat they undress, but when she sees how well he's endowed, she backs off - sorry father, that'll put me out of business for a few weeks".
"I understand" he says, and leaves.
He picks up another woman and the same thing happens, "Sorry - couldn't manage that".
Eventually he finds another willing woman and when they get back to her room he says, "would you mind if we turned the light off first?"
"No problem father, I understand, you being a priest and all that".
They get into bed, and she says, "You know, when I saw you were a priest I thought you were going to give me a lecture on JAY-SUS

"How much?" said the young man
"£250," replied the woman on the corner.
"I'll make it £500 if you'll do it my way."
"No, sorry; but I don't go in for that sort of stuff. Try one of the other girls."

Then, overcome with curiosity: "Anyhow, what is your way?"

"One pound down and twenty-five pence a week."

Kids in Church

A Sunday school teacher asked her class, "What was Jesus's mother's name?"

One child answered, "Mary."

The teacher then asked, "Who knows what Jesus's father's name was?"

A little kid said, "Verge."

Confused, the teacher asked, "Where did you get that?"

The kid said, "Well, you know they are always talking about 'Verge n' Mary.'"

After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car.

His father asked him three times what was wrong.

Finally, the boy replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys."

I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime, she would repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go solo.

I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word right up to the end of the prayer: "Lead us not into temptation," she prayed, "but deliver us some E-mail...."

A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?"

"I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied.

"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered.

The daughter bowed her head and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"

An Australian sailor was ashore in San Francisco, and he soon happened on a lady who met his advances more than half way. When they reached her lodgings, she went to powder her nose, and when she came back she found that her customer had piled all the furniture in one corner of the room. "What did you do that for?" she asked. Said he, "Well, I'm from outback and I don't know much about this woman business, but if it's anything like kangaroos, we'll need all the room we can get."

Young Australian man gets a job shearing sheep miles from the nearest town - he gets on fine except for the lack of female company
After a while he begins to ask around - "what do you do for women around here?" and receives the same the same answer, "No women, here's only the sheep".
He dismisses the idea, but eventually comes around to it out of desperation, and asks how he goes about it.
They explain that he just climbs into the pen, picks the one that takes his fancy and does "what a man's gotta do".
"but won't everyone laugh at me?"
"Nah - how do you think the rest of us manage?"
So one evening after work, he showers, spruces himself up goes out, picks a sheep and gets down to the job in hand.
Half way through, he turns to see all his mates lined up along the fence doubled up with laughter - he is furious.
"There", he said, I knew you'd laugh at me; I thought you said you all did it".
"We do, but why did you have to pick the ugliest one?"

Similar theme
A small, tatty circus touring the small villages and towns of the West Country relies as its main feature, a magnificent gorilla - people flock for miles around to see him parade around the enclosure, beat his chest, roar and display his manliness.
One morning they go to feed him, only to find him sitting in the corner of the cage, head down and refusing to take his food.
The manager panics - "What are we going to do - we have little else to draw the crowds in - a few sad clowns and a couple of clumsy acrobats - we're in real trouble"
So they call in the vet who tells them, "I can't find anything wrong, he seems in the best of health. I would suggest that he is just missing female company".
So after some thought, they set off for the nearest town, purchase a female gorilla suit and look around for somebody prepared to put it on, and climb in the cage with the patient.
Eventually they find a man so down on his luck and not caring what he would do to earn it - they take him back to the site and explain what he has to do - they tell him that, despite his apparent fierceness, he is in fact, a very gentle creature "But just in case things get out of hand, we'll have six of our strongest men standing by to prevent him from harming you".
Fine, he is introduced to 'your man' - he takes a closer look and says, "O.K, but he's very ugly - how am I going to get in the mood?".
"We'll tell you what, we'll put a mask on to make him look more attractive.
Into the cage, the gorilla tentatively shambles over and sniffs, sits down next to him (David Attenborough style) and begins to stroke and fondle the man.
Things begin to warm up until suddenly the man leaps back and starts screaming, "Take it off, take it off!!"
The six bouncers leap into the cage and start to drag off the gorilla.
"No, no" says the man, "take the mask off - I want to kiss it".

A South Wales miners story from the 1950s.
Three retired Welsh miners sitting on park bench discussing how they would like to end their days,
The youngest of the trio, a mere 70 years old, said, "well, I've been watching these young fellers driving around in fast cars and I think I'd choose to get into one, drive through the village at 50 - 60 - 70 miles per hour, right through and out the other side, off the road and into a tree - that's the way I'd like to go".
The second, aged 75, thought a minute and finally said, "Well, I've been reading about these here Sputniks - I think that's how I'd like to finish my days; up into the air, one hundred miles, two hundred, three hundred, then up among the stars - that's where I'd like to end it all".
THere was total silence for a few minutes, then one of them torned to the eldest, just coming up to 90, "You're very quiet David; how would you like to go?"
"Well boys", he said, I have to say I'm very disappointed with your lack of ambition".
"What do you mean - how would you like to end your days?"
"I'd like to be shot by a jealous husband".
