Are you listening? Ahem... here it is... THIS IS A JOKE THREAD (Glad I got that off my chest...) I went to the doc on Thursday. He told me he had good news and bad news. "The good news is that your test results tell me that you still have 48 hours to live." "No! That's good news? So what's the bad news, Doc?" "I forgot to tell you this when I saw you on Tuesday..." |

01 Jan 23 - 11:41 AM (#4160931) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Bill D A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome. He mentioned the trip to the barber, who responded, “Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty and full of Italians. You’re crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?” “We’re taking United,” was the reply. “We got a great rate!” “United!” exclaimed the barber. “That’s a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly and they’re always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?” “We’ll be at the downtown International Marriott.” “That dump! That’s the worst hotel in Rome. The rooms are small, the service is surly and they’re overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you get there?” "We’re going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope." "That’s rich,” laughed the barber. “You and a million other people trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You’re going to need it!” A month later, the man again came in for his regular haircut. The barber asked him about his trip to Rome. “It was wonderful,” explained the man. “Not only were we on time in one of United’s brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful young stewardess who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel! Well, it was great! They’d just finished a $25 million remodeling job and now it’s the finest hotel in the city. They were overbooked too, so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite at no extra charge!” “Well,” muttered the barber. “I know you didn’t get to see the Pope.” “Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked in. As I knelt down he spoke to me.” “What did he say?” “He said, ‘Where’d you get this shitty haircut?" |

One teed off and watched in horror as the ball headed directly towards four men playing the next hole. The ball hit one man and he clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony. The woman rushed to the man, and apologised. ‘'Please let me help. I'm a Physiotherapist and I know I could Relieve your pain if you'll let me’' she told him. 'Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes,' he replied. He was in obvious agony, lying in the foetal position, still clasping his hands at his groin. At her persistence, however, he agreed to let her help. She moved his hands to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside. She provided tender and artful massage for several long minutes. ‘'How does that feel?’’ she asked.

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. |

Walking down the high street one day a woman spots a sign in the local pet shop: 'Talking parrot, only £5 (cage included)'. Intrigued, she enters the store and asks the proprietor why it's priced so cheaply. "Well, I must confess, it was brought up in a brothel," says the shopkeeper. "And, to put it politely, it has quite an extensive vocabulary." "Never mind," says the woman. "At that price, I'll take it." So she takes the parrot home, puts its cage in the living room and takes the cover off. "New place - very nice," says the parrot. Then the woman's two daughters walk in. "New place, new girls - very nice," says the parrot. Then the woman's husband walks in, and the parrot says, "Oh hello, Keith!" |

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!" |

Everyone in the bar is amazed and they stay all night drinking and listening to the hamster and parrot. The landlord is delighted. 'I must have these animals. Will you sell them to me?' he asks. The man shakes his head: no. 'Will you sell just one then?' asks the bartender. 'OK, I'll sell you the parrot for £100,' the man says. The landlord is delighted and hands over the money.

So when he comes home from work, his wife is standing with her back to him in the kitchen. He says "What's for dinner love?" but gets no answer. He moves in a little closer "What's for dinner love?" again, no response, and moves in again "What's for dinner love?" - nothing. By now he's right behind her, he says again "What's for dinner love?"

23 Jan 23 - 09:54 AM (#4163297) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Georgiansilver The Police have recently found a large number of dead crows on Route 66.. An animal Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows and confirmed that the cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts. However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws.?By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with motorcycles, while only 2% were killed by cars.?The investigators then called an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of motorbike kills versus car kills. The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger.?They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "bike" |

23 Jan 23 - 10:01 AM (#4163299) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw In a sense, nearly all jokes are repeats after a fashion. Genuine joke-inventors are rare beasts, so we have to resort to mass-borrowings. Unfortunately, not only can Donuel not invent jokes (like the rest of us I suppose, though most of us, unlike him, have the sense not to try), he doesn't know what a joke is. Dictionaries are available. Here's another of my oft-repeated Tim Vine ones: I was on the Big Dipper on Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Half the time I was laughing my head off and half the time I was in floods of tears. It was an emotional roller-coaster... Another thing that I like about jokes is that they gradually change in the telling down the years. They undergo a joke folk-process! |

23 Jan 23 - 10:24 AM (#4163303) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Donuel Do you mean Steve suffers from low self-esteem? Steve quotes: Not a joke. Not funny. You haven't a clue, have you. Ps., Donuel: It's a joke thread. You have not got a single joke in your bones. Why don't you google? Idiot. Then I will repeat my originals. But I won't google...Momma, why is my sister such smartie pants? Well dear, On the sixth day, God put Adam into a coma and took his rib bone marrow out to fashion woman...already exhausted from all that creating he really needed a break, and on the seventh day he rested. He never created again except for disasters and floods. Able asked God "could you clear up some of your mistakes like the platypus and other things like a woman being smarter..." That was the last we ever heard from Able. When Eve hungrily ate from the tree of knowledge she became vastly smarter than Adam. Timmy's mom said, "That's why girls are smarter than boys". Timmy said I never knew that. Mom said "Exactly" |

23 Jan 23 - 05:35 PM (#4163365) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw A slightly rude googled one: A woman had a face lift for her 50th birthday. She spends £10,000 and looks sensational. On her way home, she stops at a news stand to buy a newspaper. Before leaving, she says to the chap, ‘I hope you don’t mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?”. ’About 32,’ is the reply. ‘Nope! I’m exactly 50,’ the woman says happily. A little while later she goes into McDonald’s and asks the counter girl the very same question. The girl replies, ‘I’d guess about 29.’ The woman replies with a big smile, ‘Nope, I’m 50.’ Now she’s feeling really good about herself. She stops at a sweet shop on her way down the street. She goes up to the counter to buy some mints and asks the assistant the same burning question. The clerk responds, ‘Oh, I’d say 30.’ Again she proudly replies, ‘I’m 50, but thank you!’ While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to her the same question. He replies, ‘Lady, I’m 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was young there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman was. It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra. Then I'll be able to tell you exactly how old you are.’ They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the better of her. She finally blurts out, ‘What the hell, go ahead.’ He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each breast and he gently pinches each nipple. He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other. After a couple of minutes of this, she says, ‘Okay, okay.....How old am I?’ He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his hands, and says, ‘Madam, you are 50.’ Stunned and amazed, the woman says, ‘That was incredible, how could you tell?’ ‘I was behind you at McDonalds’. |

Sorry, but you're not getting away with that. It's just a feeble attempt to somehow legitimise your plethora of non-jokes, to somehow set them alongside the genuine jokes as equal in value to the real jokes, in what is a thread that's meant to be carefree and lighthearted. Your dozens of moans and non-jokes have been a concerted attempt to derail the thread for bitter reasons known only to you. A good joke exists in order to give us a belly laugh at best, failing that a titter at least, and occasionally a groan get-me-coat moment. It matters not a jot if they are unoriginal googles or repeats. You clearly don't understand any of these things. A good thing for you to do would be to review all your posts to this thread and reflect honestly on what you've really been trying to do. Anyway. A frantic man is on the phone to the nurse.

I thought it's time to be a good Samaritan so I retrieved it. When I opened it, there was a human toe packed in ice. Oops, that's a serious mistake I thought, so I called the local Hospital and they said 'yes, the ambulance had arrived minus the box'. I gave them my location and asked if they were going to send another ambulance to collect it? The lady replied "No, we'll just send a tow truck." |

She browses around, spots the top-of-the-line beamer and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over to feel the fine leather upholstery, she inadvertently breaks wind. Very embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed. But as she turns around, her worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman standing right behind her. Displaying complete professionalism, the salesman greets the lady, "Good day, madam. How may we help you today?" Trying her best to be nonchalant, she asks, "How much does this lovely car cost?" He answers, "Madam, if you farted just by touching it, you are going to shit yourself when I tell you the price..." |

Only the count from the conquered kingdom knew where the gold was hidden but he refused to tell. The conquerors took him to the dungeon, placed his head on the chopping block, and told him: “This is your last chance! Tell us where the gold is or off comes your head!” Beads of sweat slithered down the count’s face but still he said nothing. The captain gave the signal, and the executioner brought his hatchet down, but just as he did, the count’s courage broke and he blurted out: “No! Wait! I’ll tell you where gold’s hid-“ But it was too late. The axe came down, off came the head, and no one got the gold. The moral of the story is: “Don’t hatchet your count before he chickens.” |

He didn't see the usual resident of the enclosure, and and asked a keeper where it was. The keeper told him that the animal was getting on in years, and was either going to be sent to a retirement pasture or possibly put down. This made the man kinda sad, and on an impulse he asked if it would be possible to adopt it. The keeper said that that was highly regular, but it sounded like a good idea and he would take it up with the management of the zoo. Amazingly, the committee agreed and quietly arranged for the man to have the animal brought to his yard, which was quite spacious and fenced. Well, the man and the wildebeest really bonded, and the guy wondered if he could train his new companion like he had done with a border collie he once had. So he spent several months trying to get it to sit down, lay down on the ground, roll over and even beg for its dinner. Sadly, it was all to no avail, and after a while he gave up, reminding himself of an old saying he once heard. "You can't teach an old Gnu dog tricks." |

10 Mar 23 - 02:42 PM (#4167276) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw This is absolutely true. A good few years ago, a geography teacher at the secondary school in Bude (shall we call him "Len?") was briefing his class of 15-year-olds before sending them out with clipboards to do a survey of the local shops. His parting shot before sending them out into town was "Right, boys and girls. Don't forget that I'll be in town myself keeping an eye on you, and I don't want to see you boys standing around on the street corners scratching your balls..." "Len" is an old boy now but he's still around. In his day he was a mean, if wayward, trombone player who'd lead the band through town at the start of the Bude jazz festival. If I bump into him in town, even if it's just a sighting across the street, he greets me at 150 decibels like a long-lost friend, and he always asks about our two children by name, who he knew from the north Cornwall schools band ("Trigg"), even though he hasn't seen them now for 25 years. What a star! We need more of his kind! |

Someone Elses passing created a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Someone has been with us for many years, and for every one of those years Someone did far more than the normal person’s share of the work. Whenever leadership was mentioned, this wonderful person was looked to for inspiration as well as results. 'Someone Else can work with that group'!. Whenever there was a job to do, a workshop to lead, or a meeting to attend, the same name was on everyone’s lips. 'Let Someone Else do it'!. It was common knowledge that Someone Else was among the largest givers of time and talent in our organisation. Someone Else was a wonderful person, sometimes even appearing super-human, and the truth is that everyone expected too much of Someone Else. Now Someone Else is gone, and we are left to wonder what to do now. Someone Else left us all a wonderful example to follow but who is going to follow it? Who is going to do the things Someone Else did? Remember, we can’t depend on Someone Else anymore so you might be required to do something yourself!!!!!." (Author unknown.) |

Poor sausage. A bloke is a mad-keen cyclist and he goes out every Saturday morning without fail for a 50-mile ride. One Saturday morning he creeps out of bed so as not to wake his missus and gets geared up, but when he opens the back door to get his bike out he sees a driving blizzard, a howling gale and three-foot snowdrifts. Normally, this doesn't faze him and he'd go anyway, but this morning he's feeling his age a bit, so, just for once, he changes his mind, takes off his cycling gear and creeps back into bed. He starts to feel a bit amorous so he starts caressing and cuddling his missus. She responds appreciatively and says to him sleepily, "Can you believe that my husband would go out on his bike in this crap..." |

Who started it, what was the intention and who first crapped on it!?! I know there are differences in senses of humour but some of the 'jokes' are simply not jokes at all :-( If people simply stuck to the idea there would not be a problem. BTW. I just got a refund for my broken ebike so hope to order another this week. Not a joke in itself but reminded me... Lad goes into a shop and asks for a bar of green soap. Sorry son, the shopkeeper says, we only have red soap. It's OK says the lad. I'm on my bike. Good example of a joke that I found hilarious as a youngster. Still raises a chuckle.

26 Mar 23 - 01:11 PM (#4168513) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Dave the Gnome True story. I was in a bar in Stuttgart when a lady started to vacuum the floor. When she saw me she looked mortified, turned off the vacuum cleaner and said something I didn't understand in German. I explained I wax English and she apologised, in very good English, for disturbing me. I laughed it off and said it was no problem as I had been married for 30 years and was used to it. Well, she cracked off laughing like I thought she would fall over. Not only that she brought a man over, presumably her partner, and, on telling him, he roared with laughter too. I was only in for a quick drink while I wandered round so when I had finished I went to pay but she would not let me. When I left she was still giggling. I don't know if the joke was on me but I was more than happy to brighten someone's day :-) The other thing that tickled me in Stuttgart was that in the town centre there was a paved display showing a list of towns with names beginning "ST'. The English ones were Stockport and St. Helens. I suspect the designer did not know that St. is the abbreviation for Saint! Funnily enough I know someone who always refers to Stockport as Saint Ockport:-D |

"Well," the publican replied, "for years I struggled to keep the pub afloat, but always saw the role I had in supporting the community, so I kept going as best I could. Then, last month, I won £25 million on the lottery. That was my opportunity to put something back, hence the 10p drinks!" "Blimey, that's a great story," said the Yorkshireman. "But I can't help noticing that bunch of blokes at the other end of the bar who haven't bought a drink all night!"

05 Apr 23 - 10:16 AM (#4169301) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Doug Chadwick A group of twenty year olds were on a night out and were trying to decided were to go next. One of them suggested the Dog & Duck because he new someone there who could them some weed. Ten years on, they decided to have a reunion and chose the Dog & Duck because the barmaid there had really big knockers and always wore a low cut top. When they turned forty, they chose the Dog & Duck because it was a real ale pub, recommended by CAMRA, and had some of the best tasting bitter in town. For their reunion on reaching fifty, one of them suggested the Dog & Duck because he had heard that that the food was really good there. Another ten years passed and the natural place for their reunion was the Dog & Duck because it had good parking, well lit and you could leave your car there without worry. When they got to seventy, the Dog & Duck was suggested because it had a ramp up to the front door and the toilets were some of the best that they had found. At eighty, one them said "Why don't we go to the Dog & Duck. We've never been there before". DC |

11 Apr 23 - 03:41 PM (#4169699) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Doug Chadwick I went to visit a friend in hospital but he was asleep when I got there. The nurse explained that he had a very restless night and it would be better to leave him to sleep. I noticed that the patient in the next bed had no visitors and, as I had to wait the best part of an hour for my bus home, I decided to have a chat with him. It turned out that he was foreign and didn’t seem to speak much English but I did my best. After only a few minutes, he became quite agitated, snatched off the mask he was wearing, blurted out some unintelligible words and collapsed into unconsciousness. I called the nurse, who call the resuscitation team but it was too late – he had passed away. I realised that I had heard his last words. It was my duty to try to fulfill his dying wish. I wrote down his words, phonetically, as best I could while they were still fresh in my mind. They didn’t sound French, Spanish or Italian but I thought that it could be German or Scandinavian. A German speaking friend suggested that it was more likely eastern European. After trying, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, and various others, with the aid of Google Translate, he eventually came up with a rough translation:- “Get your chair off my oxygen pipe!” DC |

The blade was deemed to be the handiwork of the local blacksmith, however he had been away from the village at the time of the murder. Nonetheless, he was arrested shortly after returning and demanded his immediate release. The town judge decided to charge the blacksmith with murder, arguing that he had forged the weapon that ended the guard’s life and was still responsible. Before being found guilty, the blacksmith pleaded for leniency, claiming not to have personally been a part of the murder.

Try these two: "The word politics comes from 'poly', meaning 'many', and 'ticks', meaning 'bloodsucking parasites.'" Geddit? Did I detect a faint titter? If that didn't work, try this Ronnie Raygun one, allegedly a genuine quote: "I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I'm in a Cabinet meeting..." See what the rules are? Simple! No twisted, bitter cynicism. An attempt at humour. If you make it up yourself (incredibly ill-advised in your case), try it out on a critical but sympathetic friend (if you have one) before trying it out in public. And one last thing you've yet to absorb: you cannot have a joke about Donald Trump. Go on, give it a whirl! |

Three mischievous old Grandmas were sitting on a bench outside a nursing home When an old Grandpa John, walked by. And the one old granny yelled out saying, "We bet we can tell exactly how old you are." John said, "There is no way you can guess it, you old fools." The second old lady said, "Sure we can! - Just drop your pants and under shorts and we can tell your exact age." Embarrassed just a little, but anxious to prove they couldn't do it, John dropped his drawers. One of the old aunties asked him to first turn around a couple of times and to jump up and down several times. Then the three of them all piped up and said, "You're 87 years old!" Standing with his pants down around his ankles, John asked, "How in the world did you guess?" Slapping their knees and grinning from ear to ear, all the old girls happily yelled in unison... "We were at your birthday party yesterday!" |

After a few weeks his relatives asked the staff how he was getting on. "He's fantastic!" said the matron. "The only thing is that he has this habit of keeling over sideways when he's sitting in a chair, and he needs someone next to him to make sure he doesn't fall over and push him back upright. Apart from that, we love him!" So his relatives were really happy to hear that, then they went to his room. "How are you doing? They asked him. "Oh, I love it here," he replied. Everything's great, the food the company, the care, everything! But there's just one little thing..." "Oh, really? What's that then?" "Well, they won't let me fart..." |

01 May 23 - 10:09 AM (#4171229) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Georgiansilver 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'. |

A Christian priest comes up to him, lays his hands on him and says, "My son, by the grace of Jesus Christ, you will walk today. Sam smiles and replies "There is nothing wrong with my feet, Father, I am not paralyzed." Then a rabbi came over and put a hand on Sam's shoulder saying, "By the will of Ashem, you will walk today, my son." Sam, unamused, replies "There is nothing wrong with me." Then a mullah comes over and touches him and says "If Allah wills it, you walk today." Sam, now somewhat perturbed, replies "There is nothing wrong with me." Then a Buddhist monk came over, bowed slightly and says "By Hammidah Buddha, you will walk today." Now rudely Sam shouts "There is nothing wrong with me. You are all pandering charlatans!" And with that Sam angrily leaves the seminar. Upon going outside, Sam discovers his car has been stolen. [Does this one have a number? I couldn't find it.] |

02 Jun 23 - 03:35 PM (#4173677) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Donuel It just occurred to me that the opposite of Artificial Intelligence is …Real Stupid. I hear they’ve made a new artificially intelligent Oreo? It’s one smart cookie. A man creates the smartest AI and presents it to the UN, boasting it can solve any problem “Oh yeah?” Said the president of the United States. “Ok, how do we solve poverty?” “Calculating,” said the AI, moments later printing out a sheet of paper for the UN to read. Leaders from all over the world applied the proposals on the paper and in a month everyone starts living a better lives. Impressed, they called for the AI’s assistance again and asked, “How do we create world peace?” “Calculating,” said the AI and printed a sheet of mylar. Leaders applied the writings, and in a month all wars and conflicts stopped. Everybody hates guns now and the world is full of love. On the next UN gathering, curious about the purpose of life, they asked the AI, “Is there a God?” “Calculating,” said the AI. This time though it didn’t give a response immediately. In fact it took a whole day of processing before finally printing out platinum saying, “Insufficient resources, need more for the computation!” “Okay, we’ll help out!” Said the leaders of America. And they provided the AI with all of the advanced tech America can offer. Then they asked the question again. “Calculating,” responded the AI. But still, it responded, “Insufficient resources. Still need more for computation!” “Ok, we’ll also pitch in!” Said the other leaders of the world, providing their tech and networks to the AI. After the upgrade, the world leaders asked again to the AI, “Is there a God?” The AI responded, “There is now.” |

03 Jun 23 - 07:50 AM (#4173729) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Raggytash I think it was lost some time ago. A vicar and his wife decided they wanted a new dog so he sets off to the rescue home, with his wifes reminder that although they would like a god with some religious connotatations he should not come home with a St Bernard. At the rescue centre he descibes what they would like to the owner again stressing they did not want a St Bernard, The chap says I've got just the dog for you, but it's not out here in the pound I've got it inside the house. So the vicar and the owner walk into the house to be greeted by a beautiful little King Charles Spaniel, thats a bonny little dog says the vicar, a bit monarchal for my taste, but whats the religious connotation? Watch this says the owner and calls out "Bible" to the dog which promptly trots off to his library and returned with a bible. Fine says the vicar it can play fetch, but so can most dogs. No no say the owners watch this "Dueteronomy" he call, the dog flicks the pages to Dueteronomy. "Ruth" says the owner, the dog flicks the pages of the bible to Ruth. "Malachi" says the owner and once again the dog flicks the pages to Malachi. Thats amazing says the vicar, how much do you want for it. £100 says the owner. Done says the vicar. So with his new dog he sets of back to the manse to show his wife the new dog. When he arrives his wife is delighted with bonny little dog and thinks it is absolutely wonderful but then she says to him I know it's a bonny little dog but what is the religious connotation Ah says the vicar watch this "Bible!" he shout and the dog runs off to his library and fetches back the bible. Thats grand says his wife it can play fetch, oh thats nothing says the vicar watch this."Lamentations" says the vicar the dog flicks open the pages to Lamentation. "Exodus" again the dog gets to the right page, "Genesis" again the dog gets the right page. That is astonishing says his wife, amazing. I wonder if it can do and normal doggy things. Don't know says the vicar I not tried any "Heel" the calls ................. the dog jumps up puts both it's paws on the heads and goes Ommmmmm!! |

He's male, by the way, not a difficult thing to have gleaned after all these years, but, as you're so up your own bum you wouldn't have bothered to notice). I had two colonoscopies a few years ago and the second one in particular I found to be highly amusing in retrospect. "I'm going to pump air up your bottom now so that we can see things more clearly." "Yeah, fine...". Two minutes later: "Nurse, I seriously need to fart..." "Don't worry, Mr Shaw, I'm used to it. Just let it all go..." "But your face is three inches from my arse..."

What I am surprised at is that the Mods, who normally do a very good, unbaised job, allow just ONE poster to abuse so many other posters and infect so many threads with impunety. A Polish airman who had been flying with the RAF (Royal Air Force) during WW1 was giving a talk about the Battle of Britain in 1940 at a convent school. Describing the heat of a fight in early September he said to the girls "There were Fokkers to the left of us and there Fokkers to the right of us. The Nun who was leading the class was startled and said to the girls " Girls! Girls! Fokkers were a type of plane used by the Germans!!" Thats right said the Polish airman ....... but these Fokkers were in Messerschmitts!! |

She kept sticking her nose into other people's business, even if several members did not approve of her extra-curricular activities. However, they feared her enough to maintain their silence. Once, she accused a new member, Frank, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told Frank (and several others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing! Frank, was a man of few words. He stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing and just went away. Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his old pickup in front of Mildred's house ... Got out and simply walked home... And left his old pickup there all night. My wife asked if I could stop singing ‘Wonderwall’ I said maybe A dyslexic boy is on his way home from training with his mam...."Can we stop at McDonald's mam? I'm starving" the boy asks.

If my local pub starts getting pestered by a knobhead who just talks bollocks all the time, the rgulars have a choice. Either they leave or they ask the landlord to throw him out. Sorry to have to tell you, but you are that knobhead and, before long, the management will realise. It is well and good saying ignore it but, to use another analogy, if a dog keeps shitting on your front lawn you can either ignore it or kick the dog. Anyroads...

08 Jun 23 - 04:14 PM (#4174164) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw The bottom line here in this thread (wot I myself started) is that what we want is levity. Lightheartedness. A good chortle, a smirk, even a groan. I give not a flying shite whether a given joke has been here two, three or four times before. When I was a kid, I exulted in telling the same joke over and over again. I'm delighted that my seven-year-old grandson is just the same. Donuel can put his "truth" into lots of other threads, many of which he has started himself. So I have to ask myself why he feels the need to pollute this thread with his so-called truth, and his terrible, terrible attempts to make up his own jokes. I can't make up my own jokes. I haven't got that kind of talent. I rely on Ken Dodd, Tim Vine, Tommy Cooper, even the Reader's bloody Digest. I can tell funny stories about things that have happened to me, etc., but they are not jokes. I don't want anyone in this thread getting all heavy, philosophical or moralising. There are threads aplenty where you can do that. This thread needs to be an oasis of more-or-less innocent fun in this fraught world of ours. Or, to be more succinct, sod off, Donuel. By way of postscript, here is my grandson's favourite joke. Why did the little boy fall off his bike? Because his mother threw a refrigerator at him. (Just imagine that you're seven again when you read that joke. It works for me!) |

The vet said, "It's probably harmless, but FWIW I know how to fix it. Lend me a length of hose." The farmer found him one. The vet stuck one end up the cow's ass and blew into the other end. Sure enough, the cow's eyes snapped into alignment. But the next day, they were crossed again, so the farmer tried the same treatment, but it didn't work. He called the vet back. The vet took the end of the hose out of the cow's ass, replaced it with the other end, and repeated the treatment. Sure enough, it worked. The farmer asked what the idea was.

"Señor, these are the cojones," the waiter replied. "The what??" exclaimed the tourist. "They are the testicles of the bull killed in the ring today," explained the waiter. The tourist was horrified, but bravely he decided to taste the dish. He found it delicious. Returning the following evening, he asked for the same dish. After he finished the meal, the tourist commented to the waiter, "Today's cojones are very tasty, but they're nowhere near as big as yesterday's..." "Well, señor," replied the waiter, "You see, the bull he does not always lose..." |

Another popular myth is That Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Mexican Descent who are the best.

03 Aug 23 - 09:01 AM (#4178341) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Donuel An American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The fisherman replied that it only took a little while. The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish. The fisherman said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs. The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" The fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life, señor." The American scoffed. "I am a Wharton MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then L.A., and eventually New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise." The fisherman asked, "But how long will this all take?" To which the American replied, "Fifteen or 20 years." "But what then?" The American laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions." "Millions? Then what?" The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your friends." |

He killed a lion, an elephant, and a hippopotamus, and awarded the skins to his three squires back home in his kingdom. Thus, the three squires became known as the Lion Squire, the Elephant Squire, and the Hippo Squire. As the years passed, the Lion Squire and the Elephant Squire became very jealous of the Hippo Squire because they wanted the hippo skin too. So, they hatched a plan to assassinate the Hippo Squire and divide the hippo skin between them equally. Now the Lion Squire had eight sons, and the Elephant Squire had ten sons, but the Hippo Squire was childless. The Lion Squire and the Elephant Squire sent their eighteen sons to kill the Hippo Squire, but the Hippo Squire drew his sword and single-handedly slaughtered all eighteen of them. And thus, it was proven once and for all that, the squire of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squires of the other two hides. |

09 Aug 23 - 11:04 AM (#4178815) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw Mrrzy, wassup! I've also known that joke for decades in another guise and of course I know it's a joke. The rewrite is quite good (discuss...) but it has NOTHING to do with Donuel except that he found it on the internet somewhere and copied and pasted it! Just copy the first line of it into your search box and you'll find "his" version all over the place. I agree, gillymor, but when you see a perfectly literate rendition of a joke posted by a semi- literate person that he passes off as his own it kind of whiffs of his need for a bit of reflected glory. I got told off for posting a Bob Monkhouse one-liner (I didn't know it was his) without attribution, and made abundant reparation by posting a bunch of his others in two posts. In the past I've posted lots of one-liners from Tim Vine, Tommy Cooper, Ken Dodd and others and I always credit them. I've said before that all our joke threads are replete with repetition and that it doesn't matter. If I'd whinged about every joke here that I'd heard (or seen here) before, I'd have wasted bucket loads of virtual ink. It doesn't matter one jot or tittle! Anyway, I'm not at all well so all shut up... |

We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you." Yes, she says, "I remember it well." OK, he says, "How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?" "Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!" A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, he thinks to himself, I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble. So he follows them. The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in. Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground. The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know. After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman, is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing, I've got to ask them what their secret is. So, as the couple passes, he says to them, "Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?" Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply, "Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence." |

Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting, "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype Swedish blonde women that way? What does the colour of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. It's people like you that make others think that all blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general... pathetically all in the name of humour!"

A couple took the wife's mother on a trip to the Holy Land. Sadly, the old lady died on the trip. The undertaker said to the chap, "You have two choices. I can arrange for her to be flown home for £25000, or you can have her buried here in a simple ceremony for £500." Without hesitation he replied that he wanted her flown home. "Well it's up to you, of course, but why would you want to spend all that money when you don't have to?" The chap replied, "Two thousand years ago they buried a bloke here and three days later he rose from the dead. I can't take that risk..." |

Unbeknownst to our protagonist, the pub was rougher than it looked. First thing that happened, the doors burst open, and a four-lane motorway stomped in. The various A- and B-roads hurriedly got out of its way, and it went up to the bar. “I’m the M8,” it said in a rough Lowlands accent. “Gimme a pint of snakebite.” The bartender gave the M8 a pint, but it had hardly started to drink when the doors burst open again, and a six-lane motorway pushed its way in. It hard-shouldered the cringing M8 out of its way, and announced in a coarse south-side Glaswegian accent: “I’m the M74. Gimme a pint of cider and black, ya bas.” The bartender had barely drawn the cider into the glass, when the door opened quietly, and a weedy little “road” came in: green, with only one white stripe. It approached the bar, and the A817 was bemused when both the M8 and the M74 cringed out of the way, trying to make themselves look as small as possible. “What’s going on,” whispered the A817 to the cowering M8, as the strange weedy road sat by the bar and ordered a Guinness. “Big tough motorway like you, afraid of a wee thing like that?” “Aye mate,” said the M8, “I’m a big tough motorway. But yon’s a fucking cyclepath.” |

He could see the priest looked sad, so he asked what the matter was. The priest replied, “I have had my bicycle stolen, and what is worse, I think it has been stolen by one of my congregation.” The wise rural dean thought for a second and said, “Ah, what you need to do.. is preach a sermon on the 10 Commandments. When you get to “Thou shalt not steal” look sternly at all the congregation. The person who looks embarrassed will be the one who stole it.” A few weeks later, the rural dean visited the priest again and he was much happier. The priest told him he had got his bike back. The rural dean said, “Did you preach on the 10 Commandments?” “Yes.” replied the priest “And did you find out who took it?” “Er, not exactly. When I got to “Thou shalt not commit adultery”, I remembered where I left it.” |

One… they hold it in place and wait for the world to revolve around them… None, they think their "shining light" is enough for the world. Light bulb? Everybody knows that isn't a light bulb. And even if it was, it wouldn't need changing. Anyone can see the lighting in here is great. You need to get your eyes checked. None because we do it for them and then hear about how we did it wrong. Light bulb? Oh, you mean it’s still not working? What light bulb? None, they don't know how to change a bulb, only how to shine it on themselves. None, they prefer to keep things in the dark anyway. They just get you to change it and then convince you that they did. None, because it is all your fault that the light bulb went out. Depends on who's watching. None, because they find a source to do everything. It's not my responsibility. None. It's someone else's job so they can moan at them later when the bulb ultimately blows again. They don’t need to change the bulb. It’s not broken. What’s wrong with you? Why would you think that? It wasn't me. None. They will leave it for you to do and then complain about how you did it wrong. Well, I didn’t do it. I think you are imagining it. That bulb isn’t broken. It works just fine. But if it’s dark in the room is really all your fault! And why do you have to be so sensitive. Geez, it’s only a light bulb. I was just kidding you stupid git. |

04 Dec 23 - 08:49 PM (#4192944) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Steve Shaw Well plenty of posts, but the 4th has been a joke-free zone. So: A bloke is seriously ill in a hospital bed, wired up to all sorts of machines and wearing an oxygen mask. A young nurse pops her head round the door to make sure he's ok, but. he waves his hand to her and calls her in. He asks her, "Please can you tell me if my testicles are black?" She's somewhat taken aback and she replies that that isn't part of her duties. "Please, nurse, I'm desperate to know!" Reluctantly she folds back his bedsheets and gently takes down his pj bottoms. Carefully, she eases his "old man" to one side and caresses his testicles. "Well, everything's fine down there," she reassures him, and replaces his sheets and pj bottoms. He takes off his oxygen mask momentarily and says, "Thank you, nurse, that was just lovely. But now can you tell me if my test results are back?" |

I heard of a study once which suggested that humans tend to walk through their own life stories like a film; moving from one room to another causes a scene change, and *that*'s when one forgets why one went through the doorway. |

She called her into her office and told her, "Now look here, my dear, we don't tolerate that sort of behaviour here." "So what do I do to get rid of the birds, Mother?"

23 Dec 23 - 08:00 AM (#4194140) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2023 From: Donuel A Pagan died on Christmas and went to Heaven. St. Peter met him at the gate. "You can't come in here," St. Peter said. The Pagan asked why... "You're Pagan ... I'm sorry", St. Peter replied. "But Hell isn't so bad. Your friends are there, and they say it's good." "But "Yule is a solstice celebration observed by Pagans as the second sabbat of the Wheel of the Year, marked with rituals to welcome the return of the Sun and celebration of light before Jews and Christians made up Hannukah and Christmas !" Peter said : "Forget it, we're in charge now" The Pagan was depressed, but went anyway just because he was, well - Pagan...When he arrives in Hell, he sees a beautiful green field with amusement rides, and people picnicking and having a great time...A man in a white suit comes over to him and presents himself as Satan, and then tells him of all the delights to be had in what appears to be a 4-star slightly seedy resort... "Woww!" thinks the Pagan, "Hell isn't so bad! I'm happy to be here." Suddenly, the sky gets black ...and fire spews from the ground. A screaming, flaming man falls from the sky and is swallowed up by a crack in the earth...After he disappears, everything returns to how it was again... "What in Hell was that?" the Pagan asks Satan... Satan replies, "That was a Christian. They wouldn't have Hell any other way! |
