03 Jan 25 - 03:00 AM (#4214624) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2025 From: Sandra in Sydney it came from a book of kids jokes I read sometime this century (ie. when I was a very grown up person) & I've never forgotten it - it's the only joke I can tell without forgetting bits or fluffing it! One year our kid's traditional music workshop (6-18yrs) included a joke session & I contributed my joke - naturally it wasn't out of place among their contributions. sandra |

03 Jan 25 - 08:35 PM (#4214661) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2025 From: Mrrzy In a big forest full of secrets and shadows, there was a young couple who loved to explore. This forest was their special place, away from all the noise and busy life. One day, while they were walking deep in the woods, they heard a deep, gruff voice say, "Boy." They looked around, but couldn't find anyone. This mysterious voice made them a little scared but also very curious. They kept going back to the forest, and every time they did, they would hear the same deep voice say "Boy." They started to think maybe the forest was telling them they would have a baby boy one day. When their first baby came, it was a girl! They laughed and thought, "Maybe the forest spirit got it wrong." But they still loved going back to the forest, and each time they heard the voice say "Boy." After their second baby girl was born, they really wanted to know what was going on. So, they went to the wise shaman in their village and told him about the voice. The shaman listened and then said with a bit of a laugh, "That's no forest spirit, you fools. Everyone knows it's the wolf who cries ‘boy.’" |

"Half past two..." |

04 Jan 25 - 03:01 PM (#4214702) Subject: RE: BS: Joke thread for 2025 From: Bill D A guy was in Las Vegas, having bad luck at gambling. Finally, he took his last hundred dollars, filled up his car and headed back to California. He got about 20 miles when a little voice in his head..or somewhere....said "Stop the car!" Startled, he pulled over to the side of the road. "Who is that?" he asked the air. The little voice said, "Turn around, go back to Vegas." Now he was really nervous. "I can't go there, I just lost most of my money!" The voice insisted, "Go BACK to Vegas." This was too much to resist. He turned around and in 30 minutes, he was back. "Go the the Sands Hotel!", said the little voice. But that's where I almost went broke!" The little voice said "The Sands!" Incredulously, he parked and nervously walked into the casino floor. "Go to the roulette table!", said the little voice. He now had this feeling.. so he crowded into the group at the roulette. "Wait!," said little voice. "Two more spins!" He waited for two more spins. "Now," said little voice, "Put your $100 on #23 black!" Immediately, he followed this specific order. The croupier spun the wheel, and the ball went round& round and finally settled into.. #18 Red! "Hmm... how about that", said little voice. |

After a couple of denials, the old man asks, how? The old woman says, come behind these bushes and drop trou, and I'll tell you your age. Intrigued, the old guy agrees. And does. Hmmm, not sure, please jump up and down? OK... 87! You're 87! Amazing! How could you tell? Silly, I was at your birthday party last week! |
