Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2024 From: Mr Red Date: 19 Nov 24 - 04:25 AM Are you channeling Donuel Mr Red? - No - channelling narcissists that tell us what is and isn't funny. &/or surrogates thereof. Meanwhile: My GF, in response to a misattribution of a painting, sans precious metals, on "University Challenge" said: "Not all that Klimt's is gold" It is humour of a sort, but you need the references, and the intelligent response is to say "I get it" or "If I had the references, I would smile at that one". Not "ain't funny, I tell 'em better". Or to attempt damning with faint praise invoking "allusion". As someone opined recently somewhere I was reading. "Humour is relative to the individual". Which is "wit" in the time honoured meaning allied to "wisdom". |

A priest and a rabbi are sitting next to each other on the plane, so they got chatting. "Tell me," asked the priest, "Does your religion still forbid you to eat pork?" "It does indeed," came the reply. "Have you ever lapsed?" "Just the once, I have to confess. I was really hungry and my friend gave me half of his bacon sandwich... But tell me. Does your religion still insist on celibacy?" "It does, but I have to confess that on just the one occasion I succumbed to temptation with a beautiful young woman..." The rabbi leaned across and whispered confidentially in the priest's ear: "Beats the shit out of a bacon sandwich, eh?" |

He was also there to be put down. The third dog said "Well, my owner likes to exercise naked and there she was bent over in front of me and I could not resist. I mounted and had my way with her." The first dog asked "so you're here to put to sleep too then?" and he replied "no, I'm just here to get my nails trimmed." |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2024 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 23 Sep 24 - 08:09 AM A bloke had just finished a round of golf on his own, and because it had been a hot day he decided to have a shower in the clubhouse before he went home. Unfortunately, he went into the women's changing room by accident and had his shower there without realising. Then, to his horror, he heard three women chatting outside the door of the changing room. It having dawned on him what had happened, he waited and waited - but the ladies weren't going anywhere. He thought to himself, "How am I going to get out of here? All I have is a flimsy little towel and all my clothes are out there in my locker!" After a long wait he decided to just wrap the towel round his head so he couldn't be recognised and make a run for it. So he ran past the three women and and they all looked his naked torso up and down. The first woman said, "Hmm. He definitely isn't my husband..." The second woman said, "Well he doesn't look anything like my husband 'down below' either. Far less well-endowed..." The third woman said, "I can definitely tell you for nothing that he's not even a member of this golf club...." |

Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2024 From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 03 Sep 24 - 11:34 AM That reminds me: Sometime in the 1960s, I read an article in a colour supplement about the air-sea rescue people. Apparently, on one occasion, a woman was rescued from the foot of a cliff (incoming tide iirc), but managed to leave behind her fur coat. Her husband sent the coastguards a bill for several hundred pounds to cover the cost of the coat's replacement; by return of post came a bill for several thousand quid, marked "call-out fee". |
Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2024 From: Neil D Date: 02 Sep 24 - 01:52 PM A woman is walking on the beach with her little boy when a rogue wave crashes in and carries the child out to sea. As she loses sight of him beneath the waves she falls to her knees and looks heavenward and prays. Oh Lord, my baby boy means the whole world to me, if you can you find it in your heart to return him to me I will live a good and selfless life. Miraculously, a giant sea eagle swoops down from on high, dives beneath the waves, grabs the boy in his beak and comes ashore dropping the child gently at the mother's feet. After checking him all over and finding him to be uninjured, she casts her eyes to heaven once more and says...he WAS wearing a hat. |
Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2024 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 28 Aug 24 - 08:00 AM A bloke was on his deathbed and said to his wife, "Martha, I need to know from you just one thing before I go. In our 50 years of marriage, have you ever been unfaithful to me?" "Well," she said, "I have to be honest. In all those years I've been unfaithful to you just three times." He sighed and said, "Well I suppose that three times in all those years isn't that terrible. Tell me about them." "Well the first time was just after we got married, and we were very hard up. I went to see the bank manager and miraculously he changed his mind about our loan and he gave us a really good deal on a mortgage...?" "Oh," replied the chap. So you made the sacrifice in order to put us on the right path in life. I can forgive that...." "The second time was when you needed that critical heart surgery and we couldn't raise the money to go private. I went to plead with the surgeon and he did the operation free of charge...?" "Oh, so you actually saved my life! I suppose that was well justified. And the third time?" "Well, remember when you were running for president of the golf club and you needed just 73 more votes ...?" |
Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2024 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 23 Aug 24 - 07:03 AM Bloke had a love of tractors since he was a lad. Loved everything about them. Collected pictures of them and eventually owned one himself. Sadly, on his first ride out the tractor went out of control causing lots of damage and he was seriously injured, putting him off tractors for the rest of his life. Some years later he was in a pub that caught fire. Panic ensued as the bar filled with smoke and no one could find the exit. Taking a huge breath he inhaled all the smoke the blew it all out of the window, enabling everyone to make their way safely out. All were very grateful and one guy, amazed at the feat, asked how he did it. "Easy," he replied. "I'm an ex tractor fan" I'll get my coat... |
