BS: Joke Thread for 2021

With "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" on the tele last night, I thought of this query but, when I just searched, only found joke threads for 2018 to 2020.

So, if I may, why does Harrison Ford often spill his drink in movies? Spilberg?!

Ernie was admitted to his care home many years ago. He had for those many years talked about his sexual desires not being met or encouraged and most people thought it to be a joke. He was a very pleasant mannered man and very easy going. Always sympathetic towards the staff and helpful when he could be with the residents. He was an eighty nine year old, still talking about his lack of sexual activity, so when his ninetieth Birthday came along, the staff got together to try to arrange something they thought he would really appreciate. One ingenious member of staff suggested that they hire a 'strippagram' lady, to give him a thrill on his big day and this quickly became an established idea. The Senior staff, contacted a lady who advertised locally and the scene was set. On his big day, Ernie was conveniently sat at a table, across from the main door to the dining room, where his party was being held. As his Birthday cake was being brought around and the wine and sherry distributed, the music started and Ernie looked up to see where it was coming from, only to see a scantily clad woman crossing the floor towards him. She moved quickly to where Ernie was sat and pranced sexily round him, for a few minutes, until the music stopped. She looked him straight in the eyes and he very loudly asked 'What do you want'?..... She smiled a broad sexy smile and replied 'I've come to give you Supersexxxxxxxxx'!!!!. He paused for a few seconds then replied ' I think I'll have the soup'.

An old man passed away and his daughter had the difficult job of telling her young son that he wouldn't bee seeing his grandfather any more. She sat him on her knee and started to explain but it was clear from his face that he wasn't taking it in. So she started again, in a way she hoped he would understand.

"Do remember when we found that little baby bird on the path, the other day?"

Suddenly, a look of surprise came across his face. He turned to his mother and, in a shocked tone, said

A doctor was having an affair with his nurse. Shortly afterward, she told him she was pregnant. Not wanting his wife to know, he gave the nurse a sum of money and asked her to go to Italy and have the baby there. "But how will I let you know the baby is born?" she asked. He replied, "Just send me a postcard and write 'spaghetti' on the back. I'll take care of expenses." Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew to Italy. Six months went by and then one day the doctor's wife called him at the office and explained, "Dear, you received a very strange postcard in the mail today from Europe, and I don't understand what it means." The doctor said, "Just wait until I get home and I will explain it to you." Later that evening, the doctor came home, read the postcard, fell to the floor with a heart attack. Paramedics rushed him to the ER. The lead medic stayed back to comfort the wife. He asked what trauma had precipitated the cardiac arrest. So the wife picked up the card and read, "'Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti - Two with sausage and meatballs, two without.'"

A woman has made herself a meal including baked beans. She is enjoying so much that she has a second helping of beans. That evening, in the pub, the beans start to take effect. The music in the pub is very loud and a song that she recognises, a hard rock pfiece with some very loud passages, is being played. She reckons that if she times it right, she can get away with relieving the pressure without anyone noticing. As they reach the guitar solo, she takes her chance:

Bah bah, bah bah BAM! phrrrt

Bah bah, bah bah BAM! phrrrt

Bah bah, bah bah BAM! phrrrt

She looks around to see if she has got away with it, to find that people are staring at her. Just then, her boyfriend comes back from a trip to the toilet and speaks to her.

"WHAT?" she says, "I can't here you over the loud music".

"I said ' TAKE YOUR EARPHONES OUT! ' ".

Roger Penrose and Bill Gates plan to pass on the sum of their knowledge and interactive intelligence onto a super computer. Joe Biden plans a book and Boris Johnson will have a phone app version for posterity.Trump said he will never die.

“I’m sorry” and “I apologise” mean the same thing. Except at a funeral.

In this time of pandemic no one is allowed to congregate for funerals; instead, people drive by the cemetery and honk their horns in respect. One man drove by blasting “Another One Bites The Dust” on his CD player

Obersturmbannführer...was a paramilitary German Nazi Party (NSDAP) rank used by both the SA and the SS. It was created in May 1933 to fill the need for an additional rank above Sturmbannführer as the SA expanded...
...Adolf Eichmann was promoted to Obersturmbannführer in 1940...

Two boys were sitting in church waiting for confession. One goes into the confessional:

'Father, it has been four months since my last confession...I was with a girl last week...and well, we started kissing and stuff and, well, we went a bit too far..."

"And what was this girl's name, my son?"

"I didn't even ask her, Father!"

"Well I've heard about some of the loose girls round here...Was it Mary?"

"I don't know, Father..."

Was it Alice?"

"Doesn't ring a bell, Father..."

"Donna?"

"Don't think so, Father..."

Anyway, the lad was sentenced to three Hail Marys and went back to his mate waiting in the pew.

His mate asked, "Good confession, was it?"

"Yeah, brilliant - and I got three names..."

I haven't heard that. The phrase is familiar in Italian, and there's no doubt that, in the Italian rendition, "die" means "snuff it!"

"See Naples and get robbed if you're not careful" would be better advice! It is an amazing place, full of both good and bad. You can get damn good pizza there, the archaeological museum is stunning and you can see San Gennaro's bones sticking out of a big urn in the duomo. He's the patron saint of Napoli, but unfortunately he lost his head in the Solfatara volcano (which you can just walk right into) at Pozzuoli, the childhood home town of Sophia Loren.

I wouldn't say make the area the last place you see before you die, but go before you die. It's fantastic, and you've got The Amalfi Coast just round the corner. Pompei, Herculaneum, Sorrento, Vesuvius...YES!

"Oh, DID you now" says the priest

"...and I took her outside"

"...and we were making love, standing up in the bus shelter"

"That's a TERRIBLE thing to do to a young girl" continues the priest

"....when a bus arrived and, in the headlights, all the people on the bus could see who she was"

"And what was the name of this poor, innocent child that you so wantonly brought disgrace upon?" demanded the priest.

"It was the vicar's daughter, Father"

For crying out Donuel, how many times do you need to be told you "humour" is not humourous.

A vicar goes to a dog rescue centre and tells the owner that he would like a new dog and if he can get a rescue dog that would be great and if it had some sort of religious connotation that would be even better But I don't want a St Bernard.

The owner says I got just the dog for you, but it's not out here, I've got it in the house.

So the vicar follows him into his house where he is shown a very young and very bonny King Charles Spaniel.

Well he says thats a very pretty dog, very pretty indeed but what is the religious connotation? Ah say the man watch this.

He calls out "Bible!" and the dog runs into his library and comes running back with the bible.

That's marvellous say the vicar he can play fetch but it's not that surprising.

No, no says the owner. Watch this. "Genesis!" the dog flicks the page open to Genesis. "Leviticus!" say the owner the dog flicks the page to Leviticus. "Kings!" shouts the owner, the dog dutifully opens the correct page.

That's astonishing say the Vicar how much do you want for him. One hundred pounds say the owner. I'll take him says the vicar.

So the vicar arrives home back to the presbytery and calls to his wife "I've got us a beauty little dog and it really is quite special"

His wife comes down and is smitten by the little King Charles Spaniel but asks her husband I know it's a bonny little dog but whats the religious connotation.

Watch this he says. "Bible!" the dog runs into his study and returns with the Bible. Clever says his wife it can plat fetch but that's not so unusual. No, no says the vicar watch this. "Psalms!" the dog flicks the pages to Psalms "Exodus!" the god flicks the pages to the correct one.

That's amazing says his wife, amazing. Can it do any normal doggy tricks.

Don' know say the vicar I'll try it now "heel!" he shouts, he dog jumps up and put both it's paws on his head !!

Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life.

As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions.

I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late.

I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man.

And as I played "Amazing Grace", the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car.

Though my head was hung low, my heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen anything like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

Apparently, I'm still lost.

They got out and measured their rig, which was 12 feet 4 inches tall. "What do you think?" said one as they climbed back into the cab of the truck . The driver looked to his left then to his right, checked the rear view mirrors, then shifted into first gear. "Not a cop in sight. Let's take a chance," he said.

A young Scottish lad and lass were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands, gazing out over the loch. For several minutes they sat silently.
Then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, "A penny for your thoughts, Angus."
"Well, uh, I was thinkin'...perhaps it's aboot time for a wee kiss."
The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
Then he blushed. The two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.
Minutes passed and the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus." "Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's noo aboot time for a wee cuddle."
The girl blushed, then leaned over and cuddled him for a few seconds.
Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.
After a while, she again said, "Another penny for your thoughts, Angus."
"Well, uh, I was thinkin' perhaps it's aboot time you let me put my hand on your leg."
The girl blushed, then took his hand and put it on her knee. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the lock before the girl spoke again.
"Another penny for your thoughts, Angus."
The young man glanced down with a furled brow. "Well, noo," he said, "my thoughts are a wee bit more serious this time."
"Really?" said the lass in a whisper, filled with anticipation.
"Aye," said the lad, nodding.
The girl looked away in shyness, began to blush, and bit her lip in anticipation of the ultimate request.
Then he said, "Dae ye nae think it's aboot time ye paid me the first three pennies?"

89 year old Ron Chester was stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and was asked where he was going at that time of night.
Ron replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."
The officer asked, "Really? Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"
Ron replied, "That would be my wife.

A whole bus load of nuns tragically died in a road crash. They all queued up at the pearly gates.

"Welcome, ladies," said St Peter. "Now I have to ask each of you a simple question, then I can let you in. Sister Mary, you're first. Now, sister, have you ever touched a penis?"

"Well..there was this one time when I touched one with my pinky finger..."

"Hmm. Well, wash your pinky in that holy water there and you can come in."

"Now, Sister Christine. Same question: have you ever touched a penis?"

"Well...there was this one time when I held one in this hand for just a minute..."

"Hmmm. Well wash that hand in the holy water and you can come in..."

Just then there was a kerfuffle in the queue as Sister Helen tried to barge in front of Sister Judy.

"Now, now, there's no rush, Sister Helen. What do you think you're doing?" said St Peter.

Said Sister Helen, "If I've got to gargle with that holy water I'm bloody well going to do it before Sister Judy dips her arse in it..."

...so, there was this well-to-do old farmer who managed to snare himself a pretty young wife. He was a likeable sort, and folks just shrugged. They knew she sort of expected to inherit a nice farm in a few years, but he knew what he wanted.

So, one day he was in town for his annual checkup, and told the doc he had a serious question.

"Doc, you know I ain't as young as I usta be, and them romantic feelings..*wink, wink* are a bit scarcer than they were 30 years ago...Now, when I'm plowing down in the south 40, sometimes I get the urge...but by the time I get back up to the house,I'm so tired it's gone again. You got any ideas?"

"Hmmmm, John", says the doc, "you know, your place is pretty isolated. Why don't you just take a blanket and your shotgun with you on the tractor, then when you feel in the mood, you can fire off the gun as a signal to Sally to come down to YOU!...She's a bit younger"

"Well, durn Doc, that's a fine idea! I'll try it!"

So....several months later, the doctor meets old John on the street, and can't resist asking..."Hey, John, how did that idea work out...about taking the blanket and shotgun down with you during plowing?"

"Waaal, you know, Doc....that worked pretty damn good...for about 2-3 weeks....then huntin' season started, and I ain't seen her since!"

Health and Safety over Christmas period.

Please be advised that anyone planning to dash through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh or going over the fields and laughing all the way, are required to undergo a Risk Assessment addressing the safety of open sleighs, including whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly where there are multiple passengers. Please note that permission must also be obtained in writing from landowners before their fields may be entered. To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.?Benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs are now available for collection by any shepherds planning or required to watch their flocks at night.?While provision has also been made for remote monitoring of flocks by CCTV cameras from a centrally heated shepherd observation hut, all facility users are reminded that an emergency response plan must be submitted to account for known risks to the flocks. The angel of the Lord is additionally reminded that prior to shining his/her glory all around he must confirm that all shepherds are wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment to account for the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and the overwhelming effects of Glory.?Following last year’s well publicised case, everyone is advised that EC legislation prohibits any comment with regard to the redness of any part of Mr. R. Reindeer. Further to this, exclusion of Mr. R Reindeer from reindeer games will be considered discriminatory and disciplinary action will be taken against those found guilty of this offence.?While it is acknowledged that gift-bearing is commonly practised in various parts of the world, everyone is reminded that the bearing of gifts is subject to Hospitality Guidelines and all gifts must be registered. This applies regardless of the individual, even royal personages. It is particularly noted that direct gifts of currency or gold are specifically precluded under provisions of the Money Laundering Act. Further, caution is advised regarding other common gifts, such as aromatic resins that may initiate allergic reactions.?Finally, in the recent case of the infant found tucked up in a manger without any crib for a bed, Social Services have been advised and will be arriving shortly.?Compliance of these guidelines is advised in order for you to fully participate with the festive spirit.?Cheers ?Admin Risk Management Team

So stop posting nonjoke commentary?

A greek and an Irish were comparing their heritages. (I love the way the Internet phrases things sometimes.)

"We built the pantheon, along with the Temple of Apollo", said the Greek.

"Aye, 'twas the Irish the discovered the Summer and Winter Solstices", replied the Irish.

"But it was the Greeks who gave birth to advanced mathematics."

"Granted, but was the Irish who built the first timepieces."

Knowing that he is about to deliver the coup de grace, the son of Athens pointed out with a note of finality, "Keep in mind that it was the ancient Greeks who established the notion of sex as a pleasurable activity!"

"True enough, ..." replied the Son of Erin.

"But it was the Irish that got the women involved!"

"This joke is historically INACCURATE!", groaned Reddit.

You know Boebert and Gomert and Steve King and Marge Greene
Hitler and Himmler old nazis and Blitzkrieg
But do you recall
The most famous Nazi of all?

Donald the Red-Nosed Nazi
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other Nazis
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Donald
Join in any Nazi games
Then one foggy 'lection night
Jesus came to say
"Donald, with your nose so bright
Won't you sleigh Hillary tonight?"
Then how the nazis loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Donald the Red-Nosed Nazi
You'll go down in history"
