Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw Date: 05 Jan 23 - 05:31 PM I broke my leg and it was in plaster from top to bottom. My mate came to see me, and asked if he could sign my plaster. He grabbed a felt-tip pen and wrote "get a life, you stupid bastard!" on my plaster. "What do you think you're doing!" I shouted. He replied, "I'm just adding insult to injury..." |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Georgiansilver Date: 06 Jan 23 - 07:41 AM One weekend when a funeral procession passed a man and his boss were playing golf. The man took off his hat and stood silently with eyes downcast. He didn't move until the procession was out of sight. The man's boss, an elderly gentleman, approved. "You don't often see respect like that much among you young folk these days" he said, as they resumed their game.?"Well, I thought it was only right." Replies the man. "After all, we'd been married for ten years." |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw Date: 06 Jan 23 - 03:33 PM I went to see the doctor again. He told me that the problem was that I have hypochondria. I sighed and said, "Well I might as well have - I've got everything else..." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Georgiansilver Date: 07 Jan 23 - 08:03 AM Steve.... I looked through a medical book and realised that Hypochondria was the only thing I don't have. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Mrrzy Date: 07 Jan 23 - 08:07 AM I'm a hyperchondriac. I'm *fine* thankyouverymuch. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw Date: 07 Jan 23 - 11:54 AM The doctor told me that I had hypochondria. "No, I don't accept that!" I shouted, "I want a fifteenth opinion!" |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 07 Jan 23 - 12:16 PM I'm hypochondric. My tombstone will say "I told you I was ill!" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw Date: 07 Jan 23 - 12:33 PM The doctor said to me, "Good news! You're not a hypochondriac after all! You really ARE dying!" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw Date: 07 Jan 23 - 12:49 PM The doc spotted Bob the hypochondriac in the waiting room. 'Not again, Bob,' said the overworked GP. 'You were only here on Monday afternoon, and now here again on Wednesday morning?' 'Couldn’t come yesterday though,' replied Bob, 'I was ill.' |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Georgiansilver Date: 07 Jan 23 - 03:55 PM Why is it no fun to tell a hypochondriac a joke? Because they've think they got it, but they haven't got it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 07 Jan 23 - 05:45 PM > "I told you I was ill!" Spike Milligan's tombstone, at his own request, bore "I told them I was ill". They had to translate it into (I *think*) Gaelic to sneak it past the Church Commissioners. Thinking of which: I once saw the following on a church entrance (in Norfolk iirc), with a note that this also was at the instigator's request:

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw Date: 07 Jan 23 - 06:28 PM One of the grimmest gravestone inscriptions I know of is the one on the grave of Jim (whose surname I forget) who was the landlord of the Bush Inn in Morwenstow, Cornwall. The grave is in the Morwenstow churchyard. It reads: Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead (from a poem by WH Auden) Jim died some time in the 1990s. We knew him and his partner Beryl quite well. A more severe pair of sourpusses you've never met. One summer's evening Mrs Steve and I drove to the pub, looking forward to a pleasant bar meal, which the pub was noted for. When we arrived, we found all the doors locked and Jim strolling around outside. To my polite enquiry as to the prospect of our obtaining a drink and a meal, he told me that he wasn't opening. He didn't feel like it. He couldn't be bothered. Tails between legs, we made our way home, stopping at the chippy in Kilkhampton. Seems that the tone of his epitaph was in keeping with his character... |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Donuel Date: 09 Jan 23 - 08:00 AM A quick and easy espionage tool used to be to use an image background and put a text layer in its most pale setting then the receiver of the image would open the image in photoshop and go to maximum contrast. By a similar process, you can also make subliminal messages. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 09 Jan 23 - 10:07 AM As it seems to yield dischuff or distress (or misidentification), I'll try to limit further low-contrasting to slow-release punchlines. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Donuel Date: 09 Jan 23 - 11:43 AM As a kid when the doorbell rang we smiled and cheered "it's company". Now when there is a knock we say "who the fuck is that" to our dismay As a kid we saw at the carnival the big and fat tattooed man or lady. Now almost everyone at the Mall looks fat tattooed and lazy. As a kid Getty was dead but there were still Vanderbilts and Rockefellers. Now since they don't pay taxes a billionaire might be any random fellow. |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Donuel Date: 10 Jan 23 - 06:30 AM An elderly man has been released from the hospital to spend his final days at home with his beloved wife. He's lying in bed when he smells the aroma of his favorite home made cookies. Despite his frail condition, he manages to get out of bed and make his way to the kitchen. Seeing a plate of freshly baked cookies, he reaches out a trembling hand to get one when his wife smacks him on the wrist with a spatula, saying "Put that back! Those are for the funeral." |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw Date: 13 Jan 23 - 06:53 AM That Bill joke reminds me of a Barry Cryer classic: A man ran over a cockerel with his car and went to a nearby farmhouse to see how he can help. A woman opens the door and he says: “I appear to have killed your cockerel. I’d like to replace him.’ She replies: “Please yourself, the hens are round the back’.” |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw Date: 13 Jan 23 - 08:35 AM A Frankie Howerd one. When I was a student in London my landlady was Elizabeth Larner, who played Ammonia in Frankie Howerd's Roman sitcom (Up Pompeii). One evening, Frankie was their dinner guest, and we students were under strict orders not to venture out of our rooms to try to glimpse him! We heard quite a bit of uproarious laugher from downstairs... To the joke... An 82 year old man goes to his doctor. 'I want a complete physical examination. I'm about to get married,' says the old man. 'How old are you?' the doctor asks. 'I'm 82 and she's 24. I want a complete examination to make sure everything's working properly,' says the old man. The Doctor said, '24! Well, I'll do the examination. But it might be better if you also got a young lodger. You know, company for your wife.' 'Yes, yes, what a good idea,' says the old man. The doctor meets him again a few months later. 'Did you get married?' asks the doctor. 'How's your young bride?' 'She's pregnant,' says the old man proudly. 'And, erm, how's the lodger?' says the doctor nervously. 'She's pregnant, too,' says the old man. |
