01 Jan 16 - 09:01 AM (#3762190) Subject: RE: BS: First Joke Thread of 2016 From: Uncle_DaveO Slow Down! A farmer lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day. So one day he called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens." "What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff. "I don't care, just do something about those speeding drivers!" So the next day he had the county go out and put up a sign that said: SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING Three days later the farmer called the sheriff and said, "You've got to do something about these drivers. The 'school crossing' sign seems to make them go faster!" So, again, the sheriff sends out the county and they put up a new sign: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY And that really sped them up. So the farmer called the sheriff again and said, "Your signs are doing no good. Is it all right for me to put up my own sign?" The exasperated sheriff was happy to get rid of him: "Sure thing, put up your own sign." And indeed, the sheriff got no more calls from the farmer. Three weeks later, the sheriff drove out to the farmer's house to see how the farmer had solved the problem. He couldn't miss the farmer's sign. It was a whole sheet of plywood. And written in large letters were the bold words: SLOW: NUDIST RESORT |

But when it came time for the groom's vows, the pastor looks the young man in the eye and says, "Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?" The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, "I do." When there was a brief musical interlude, the groom leaned toward the pastor and hissed, "I thought we had a deal!"

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35, and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each." The villagers rounded up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys. Then they never saw the man or his assistant, only monkeys everywhere! Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works. |

This catches the blonde's attention and, to keep him quiet, she agrees to play the game. The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"

He thought for while and finally said he would, if he was told who the recipient would be. The doctor, after a long argument, finally agreed, so the man takes the address and goes off to find person who was to get his heart. He tracks him down and knocks on the door, which was eventually answered bu a huge skinhead in a stained Union Jack Vest, rings piercing his nose, both ears and his eyebrows, with a display of Swastika tattoos on his forehead, neck and up both arms.

My mother taught me foresight: "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident." My mother taught me irony: "Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about." My mother taught me about the science of osmosis: "Shut your mouth and eat your supper!" My mother taught me about contortionism: "Will you look at the dirt on the back of your neck!"

My mother taught me the circle of life: "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."

He toiled at it for years, until finally his father was on his deathbed--Dan would inherit a fortune! He decided he needed a wife with which to share the vast estate. One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. "I may look like just an ordinary man," he said to her, "but in just a few weeks, my father, who's a widower, will die, and I'll inherit a hundred million dollars." Impressed, the woman accepted his business card. And just three short days later, she became his stepmother. Women are really much better at estate planning than men. |

To her shock, Dr. Cutter advised her, "Every day after your shower, rub your chest and say, "Scooby doobie doobies, I want bigger boobies!" He guaranteed success and, figuring she had nothing to lose, she did what he told her to do faithfully for several months. To her utter amazement she grew terrific D-cup boobs! One morning she was running late, got on the bus, and in a panic realized she had forgotten her morning ritual. Frightened she might lose her lovely boobs if she didn't recite the little rhyme, she stood right there in the middle aisle of the bus, closed her eyes and said quietly, "Scooby doobie doobies, I want bigger boobies." She apparently didn't say it quietly enough, though, since a guy sitting nearby looked at her and asked "Oh! Are you a patient of Dr. Cutter?" "Yes I am," she said, a bit embarrassed. "How did you know?" He winked and whispered, "Hickory dickory dock. . ." |

As the man and his son explored the city, they found a magnificent equestrian statue of "Chinese" Gordon. The father lovingly described Gordon's patriotism, his faith, his bravery, and how he was regarded as a martyr and a hero by all the Empire. The boy was impressed, and became enamored of the statue. He often went to visit and admire it. Years later, as the family was about to be transferred elsewhere, the father went out to discover his son paying the statue a respectful farewell. He was gratified and moved by his son's reverence for this great hero of the British Empire. As they left, his son said, "Father, there is something I have always wondered about that statue." "What is it, son?" "Who is that man who sits on Gordon?" |

07 Apr 16 - 09:35 AM (#3783999) Subject: RE: BS: First Joke Thread of 2016 From: Uncle_DaveO Teenagers are like Cats How so? Well, consider: Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call them by name. No matter what you do for them, it is not enough. Indeed, all humane efforts are barely adequate to compensate for the privilege of waiting on them hand and foot. You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house with an adult human being, and it can be safely said that no teenager in his or her right mind wants to be seen in public with his or her parents. Even if you tell jokes as well as David Letterman, neither your cat nor your teen will ever crack a smile. No cat nor teenager shares your taste in music. Cats and teenagers can lie on the living-room sofa for hours on end without moving, barely breathing. Cats have nine lives. Teenagers carry on as if they did. Cats and teenagers yawn in exactly the same manner, communicating that ultimate human ecstasy -- a sense of complete and utter boredom. No cat nor any teenager has ever improved anyone's furniture. Cats that are free to roam outside sometimes have been known to return in the middle of the night to deposit a dead animal in your bedroom. Teenagers are not above that sort of behavior. Thus, if you must raise teenagers, the best sources of advice are not other parents, but veterinarians. It is also a good idea to keep a guidebook on cats at hand at all times. And remember above all else, put out the food and do not make any sudden moves in their direction. When they make up their minds, they will finally come to you for some affection and comfort, and it will be a triumphant moment for all concerned. |

Attendant: For telling you where to sit. Passenger: But I already knew where to sit. Attendant: Nevertheless, we are now charging a seat locator fee of $5. It's the airline's new policy. Passenger: That's the craziest thing I ever heard. I won't pay it. Attendant: Sir, do you want a seat on this flight, or not? Passenger: Yes, yes. All right, I'll pay. But the airline is going to hear about this. Attendant: Thank you. My goodness, your carry-on bag looks heavy. Would you like me to stow it in the overhead compartment for you? Passenger: That would be swell, thanks. Attendant: No problem. Up we go, and done! That will be $10, please. Passenger: What? Attendant: The airline now charges a $10 carry-on assistance fee. Passenger: This is extortion. I won't stand for it. Attendant: Actually, you're right, you can't stand. You need to sit, And fasten your seat belt. We're about to push back from the gate. But, first I need that $10. Passenger: No way! Attendant: Sir, if you don't comply, I will be forced to call the air marshal -- and you really don't want me to do that. Passenger: Why not? Is he going to shoot me? Attendant: No, but there's a $50 air-marshal hailing fee. Passenger: Oh, all right, here, take the $10. I can't believe this. Attendant: Thank you for your cooperation, sir. Is there anything else I can do for you? Passenger: Yes. It's stuffy in here, and my overhead fan doesn't seem to work. Can you fix it? Attendant: Your overhead fan is not broken, sir. Just insert two quarters into the Overhead coin slot for the first five minutes. Passenger: The airline is charging me for cabin air? Attendant: Of course not, sir. Stagnant cabin air is provided free of charge. It's the circulating air that costs 50 cents. Passenger: I don't have any quarters. Can you make change for a dollar? Attendant: Certainly, sir! Here you go! Passenger: But you've given me only three quarters for my dollar. Attendant: Yes, there's a change-making fee of 25 cents. Passenger: For cryin' out loud. All I have left is a lousy quarter? What the heck can I do with this? Attendant: Hang onto it, it'll probably come in handy later. Passenger (finally getting suspicious): What for?

He prayed for weeks, but nothing happened, so he decided God just couldn't hear his tiny little voice, so he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100. When the postal authorities received the letter to "God, USA", they decided to send it to the President. And sure enough, it ended up being one of the sample letters that reached President Obama's inbox. The president was so touched that he put a $5 bill in the envelope and sent it to the little boy. The president thought that this would appear to be a lot of money to such a young child. The little boy was delighted with the $5 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God: Dear God, Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason the incompetents at the post office routed it through Washington D.C., and that damned Democrat Obama took $95 in taxes. Sincerely, Timmy |

I used the other word only as an unambiguous noun - when do we FUCK might have not been "gotten" - and yeah, I thought it was funny. Of course it's not funny TO have Tourette's, but that doesn't mean the joke can't be funny. You didn't like it; doesn't make it not funny. |

His parents, desperate, had taken him to psychiatrists and child psychologists over and over again, all to no avail. One day, the family were sitting round the dinner table when the lad suddenly spurted out "Jesus Christ, mum, this gravy is absolute bloody SHITE!! Are you trying to friggin' poison me or something??!" His thankful mother, ignoring the criticism, burst into tears of joy at the fact that her son had spoken at last. "But why," she asked through the tears, "haven't you said a single word until now??" The lad replied "Because the bloody food's been all right up to now!" |

14 Oct 16 - 05:56 AM (#3814620) Subject: RE: BS: First Joke Thread of 2016 From: Georgiansilver In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from SalfordUniversity UK. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Pete approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Pete worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face Pete and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Pete stood frozen, thinking he might be attacked. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Pete never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty years later, Pete was walking through Chester Zoo with his teenage son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son David were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Pete, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at Pete. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Pete could not help thinking that this was the same elephant. He summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared at it in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Petes' legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly. Probably wasn't the same elephant. |

The 2nd passenger, Donald Trump, said, "I am the newly-elected US President, and I am the smartest President in American history, so my people don't want me to die." He took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane. The 3rd passenger, the Pope, said to the 4th passenger, a 10 year old schoolboy, "My son, I am old and don't have many years left, you have more years ahead so I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute." The little boy said, "That's okay, Your Holiness, there's a parachute left for you. America 's smartest President took my schoolbag." |
