Happy new year. This is the successor to the 2024 joke thread.

I'll update this thread once I can think of something worth saying.

I fear a lot of gallows humor will be popular this year. From this side of the pond it is difficult to think of anything funny at this point.

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.

I kinda wish these threads were named HUMOR, as many of the submissions are merely puns or riddles...etc.
Real "jokes" are a bit in the minority recently.

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.’"

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.

In the spirit of learning that Kipling had lived in Vermont, I will now tell my Vermont joke, acquired while my sister was at Middlebury College.

Two Vermonters decided to go bear hunting in the woods. They get all their gear together, hop into a pickup truck, and head out. As they are nearing the woods, they come to a fork in the road. The signpost said, Bear Left.

So they went home.

"Twenty quid."

"OK!"

So they were getting on with it when a police officer came down the alley and shone his torch on them. "'Ello, 'ello, and what's going on 'ere then?"

"Er, I was just making love to my wife, officer..."

At the marriage counselor's office, a wife was recounting every slight, every loss of intimacy, every argument that her husband started while the husband audibly sighed. After 20 minutes of her disappointments, lack of her own car and communication the counselor stood up, pulled the wife into his embrace, kissed her deeply and punctuated his hug with a grope of her buttocks. The counselor asked the husband ...
"can you do this three times a week?"
The husband said, "I can drop her off on Mondays and Wednesdays but on Fridays, I golf or go to the pub before the ball game".

A couple celebrating their anniversary went back to the bar(pub) where they met. After a couple drinks the wife asked the husband "Do you remember what we did the last time we were here?"
he said "Yeah, We went out back and made love up against a fence." She gives him a sly look and asks "Do you think that fence is still back there?" Only one way to find out. So they sneak round back and sure enough the fence is still there so he drops his drawers and lifts her skirt and backs her up against it. There happened to be a cop sitting in his car up the alley. He's about to go and break up these scofflaws but he is struck by the vigorous, frantic lovemaking, lots of shaking and loud moaning. When they finally break free of each other the cop rushes up and says "That was amazing. how do you explain vitality and physicality of your lovemaking, at your age?" The old boy says "Thirty years ago, that fence wasn't electrified."

Lifted directly from Faceache

C, E-flat, and G go into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished, and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes in and heads for the bathroom, saying, "Excuse me; I'll just be a second." Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, "Get out! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight." E-flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, "You're looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development." Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural. Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.

A bloke was marooned on a remote island after a shipwreck. The only other survivor was a small terrier. The only other occupants of the island were a small flock of wild sheep.

After a few weeks the chap's natural manly appetite was getting the better of him. He'd noticed that one of the sheep was quite placid, so temptation got the better of him. But no sooner had he dropped his trousers that the terrier started to bark incessantly and dash frantically round his legs, completely frustrating his intended, er, enterprise. Over the days, this happened again and again and the poor fellow never got his wicked way with the ewe.   

Months later there was another shipwreck just off the island. The only survivor was an absolutely beautiful young woman, badly injured and half-dead as yer man dragged her on to the shore. For weeks he tended to her wounds and looked after her until she was fully recovered. One day she said to him, "I'm so grateful to you for saving my life and restoring me back to health. I'd like to return the favour - I'll do anything you ask...and I do mean ANYTHING..."

"OK," he replied, "Would you just watch the dog for ten minutes?"

A small town had three churches: Presbyterian, Methodist, and Catholic. All three had a serious problem with squirrels in the church building and each, in its own fashion, had a meeting to deal with the problem.

The Presbyterians decided that it was predestined that squirrels be in the church and that they would just have to live with them.

The Methodists decided that the situation needed dealing with humanely and strapped the squirrels before moving them to the local park. Within 3 days they returned.

The Catholics decided the best idea would be to baptise them, which they did. Now they only see them at Easter and Christmas.

Before we get too political though, a couple from Steve :-)

A bloke sees a blind man with a dog at the bus stop. Suddenly, the dog cocks its leg up and pees down the blind man's leg.

"Hey, mate, your dog's just peed on your leg!"

"Ah, thanks for telling me that." Upon which the blind man pulls a doggie treat out of his pocket and gives it to the dog.

"Hey, surely you're not rewarding the dog for peeing on you!"

"Nah. I'm just finding out which is its front end so that I can kick its arse..."

A woman is upstairs in bed with a bad leg. The doctor calls round and the husband shows him upstairs.

Five minutes later the doc comes down and asks if he can borrow a screwdriver. Ten minutes later he comes down again, asking for a saw and a pair of pliers this time.

The chap is frantic by now. "What's going on, doc? What are you doing up there? Is her leg worse than we thought?"

Sez the doc, "I haven't a clue, mate. I'm still trying to get my medical bag open..."

A Roman centurion went into a bar and said to the barman, "I'll have a martinus please." The barman said, "Do you mean 'martini'?" The centurion said, "Look, pal, if I'd wanted two I'd have ASKED for two..."


An ancient Roman is trying on some new clothes. He turns to his wife and asks her, " Does my gluteus look maximus in this toga?"

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'

She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'

The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,

'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair...!!

Someone mentioned 'Golf' ......so here's a golf joke..          Two women were playing golf. 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. He replied: ‘'It feels great, but I still think my thumb's broken’’.

Did you know thatJohann Sebastian Bach produced not only more than a thousand musical scores, but also twenty children (which may explain why one of his works was unfinished). For one anniversary, they all went to a local wirtshaus.
Johann Sebastian asked "What would everyone like to drink?" Frau Bach replied, "Not in my condition, thanks." The children all asked for lemonade, fruit juice etc. When the landlord totted up, it came to only nineteen drinks. Johann Sebastian asked "Where's young Wilhelm?" "He's in the gents" said someone. "Oh dear" said Johann Sebastian. "Shall we wait for him to come back?"
"I've a better idea" said the landlord. He turned to a waiter and said,

A MAGA Trump supporter walks into a bar

He goes up to the bartender and looks around seeing an older Black man sitting in a corner. He turns to the bartender and announces loudly: "A round of beer for everyone except that diversity Black over there!"

The MAGA turns to the Black smiling nastily and is surprised to see him smiling warmly back. Somewhat miffed the MAGA turns back to the bartender and says "A round of your sweetest wine for everyone here except that Black!"

Once again while everyone is cheering he turns back to the Black grinning evilly but is shocked to see the Black still smiling warmly and even inclined his head in the MAGA's direction.

The MAGA turns to bartender and says as loud as he could through gritted teeth "A bottle of your most expensive drink for everyone in this bar except for that Black".

The MAGA satisfied turns around chuckling to himself and freezes gobsmacked seeing the Black smiling broadly at him and waving.

Furiously the MAGA turns back to the bartender and says "What the hell is wrong with that Black? Is he crazy or just plain stupid?"

The bartender replies "Neither. He's the owner of the bar."

A very disturbed lady took her sick puppy to the Dogtor. He said the puppy had a case of Taggy Rash and needed a cone on his head. The lady said I've heard those called a cone of shame. The dogtor said that's only when the dog has a minor emotional disorder or wound, your puppy has a serious psychological condition that is often cured by seeing less of a mean owner. She said My new job at Homeland Security keeps me so busy I'm seldom home so the maid feeds and walks him.

A drunk walked into a bar and, after staring for some time at a woman there, walked over to her and hugged her. She jumped back and slapped him. He immediately apologized and explained, "I’m sorry. I thought you were my wife. You look exactly like her."

OK, let's try another long and obscure one...

When Clint Eastwood was electedmayorof Carmel, he invited many of his showbusiness and media friends to a celebration. One of them was Roy Rodgers, who checked into a hotel in the town. Roy was wearing a pair of brand new cowboy boots, which he left outside his room for the hotel staff to clean. For some reason, the hotel cat took exception to the boots, and clawed and chewed them to shreds.

Roy was incensed. He called up Clint, and when he arrived, showed him the ruined boots. "Look at what the darned hotel cat did to my band new boots" he complained. Clint narrowed his eyes and said "Wait there, while I go collect a posse."

A few minutes later, Clint returns, holding by the scruff of its neck a spitting, gouging and very cross cat. Clint takes it to Roy and says

"Pardon me Roy. Is this the cat that chewed your new shoes?"

The presidential limousine pulls up to Air Force One. Donald Trump steps out with a small pig tucked under each arm.

As he’s about to board the plane, a Secret Service agent stops him and asks, “Sir, forgive my intrusion, but what’s with the pigs?”

Donald motions to one and says, “I got this one for Eric,” he motions to the other, “and I got this one for Don Jr.”

The secret service agent nods in approval and says, “Excellent trade, sir.”

----------------

AIR FORCE ONE was reported to have crashed near a Nebraska farm
When the sheriff and his men entered the smoking mess he did not find the remains of anyone, including the President. They spotted a lone farmer plowing a field not too far away, as if nothing had happened at all. They hurried over to the man's tractor.

"Hank," the sheriff yelled, panting and out of breath. "Did you see this terrible accident happen?"

"Yup. Sure did," the farmer said, cutting off his motor.

"Do you realize that is the airplane of the President of the United States?"

"Yup."

"Were there any survivors?"

"Nope. They's all kilt straight out. I done buried them all myself."

"Oh my god. President Trump is dead?"

"Well," the farmer grumbled, restarting his tractor. "He kept a-saying he wasn't... but you know what a liar he is!"

A woman had had some blood tests at her local doctors' surgery. She was unable to collect the results herself so she asked her husband to call in and pick them up for her.

When he told the receptionist his wife's name, the receptionist hesitated and said "Er, just wait a minute, sir, while I call the doctor to see you..."

So the doc came in and said to the bloke, "I'm really sorry Mr Smith, but when your wife came in there was another Mrs Smith in at the same time giving samples, and we've got their results mixed up..."

"Well can't you just do the tests again?"

"Well, the tests are very expensive and your medical insurance wouldn't finance a repeat..."

"Well why not just give me the results of both women and maybe we can work it out.."

"Hmmm, Well OK, but I need to tell you that one woman's tests showed that she has dementia and the other showed gonorrhoea..."

"Blimey doc, so what would you advise?"

"Well, if it were my wife, I'd drop her off in town for a shopping trip. If she made it home I wouldn't have sex with her..."

A Preacher was ‘sounding off’ from the pulpit. “Nobody is perfect”, he said. “Hands up anyone here who thinks they are perfect”.
There was no response from the congregation, so he tried again: “Hands up anyone here who is perfect “.

good on you mate.

A guy is driving around the back woods of Maryland and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale.'

He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks.

"Yep" the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says, "So, what's your story?"

The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping, I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running... but the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

"Ten dollars" the guy says.

"Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on Earth are you selling him so cheap?"

"Because he's a liar. He's never been out of the yard."

In the same vein - one from Steve :-)

A chap is chatting to his butcher when a large dog comes into the shop with a bag round its neck.

"Good morning Fido," sez the butcher. "And how many steaks is it today?"

"Woof woof!"

So the butcher puts two steaks into the dog's bag.

"And how many pork chops?"

"Woof woof woof woof!"

So into the bag go four chops.

"And how many pounds of mince?"

"Woof woof woof!"

In go the three pounds of mince. The butcher takes a twenty pound note out of the side pocket of the bag and puts some small change back in. Off trots the dog on its way home. The chap is so impressed that he decides to follow the dog home to see what happens next.

When the dog arrives at its house, it barks like mad and scratches at the front door. A woman opens the door and in goes the dog. The chap sez to her, "Excuse me, but I just have to say that you have a remarkably clever dog there..."

"Huh, he's not as clever as you think," sez she. "That's the third time this week that he's forgotten his key..."

She takes off her trousers and panties and the tattooist does one which she is not happy with so he does one of her other inner thigh but she is still not happy. He gets a bit exasperated and says that he will get a lady off the street to look at them and if she doesn't recognise who it is she can have them for free. He brings a lady in and asks her if she recognises the tattooed faces. She said. 'Well I don't recognise the twins but the one in the middle is Trump!!!

A 96-year-old man is sitting alone in the corner in a pub enjoying his pint. But two little old ladies on the other side of the bar have spotted him and they keep on talking and pointing to him.

Eventually, one of them goes over to the man and she says, "Excuse me, but we think we know you. Weren't you part of a strong man act sometime ago?"

The old man says, "Well yes I was. But that was an awful long time ago, at least 60 years!"

The old woman said to him, "I seem to remember as part of your act in those days you could bend an iron bar over your willy! Can you still do that trick?"

So he said to her,"Well, I can't do that anymore because my wrists have gone.-...

Found this, once I'd waded through the small ads in The Compleat Ankh-Morpork City Guide, and discovered the Clubs and Societies section:

The Ankh-Morport Recovering Accordion Players' Society

To lie in thrall to the muse of music can be a curse to the few as it is to the many, and the stress of playing the accordion to a chorus of "bloody well stop playing that damn thing" does take its toll after a while. Sufferers are understood and welcomed, and in some cases, with help, are encouraged to learn the banjo, thus rehabilitating them into society. Donations are always welcome.

No harmonica or squeeze-box players admitted.

The nearby panel advertisement shows a chap sat on a chair playing a piano-accordion, with a notice on the wall behind him saying DO NOT DISTURB. At his side is a woman sitting arms folded, with a facial expression best described as "seriously dischuffed, but determined to not explode .... yet".

How to Use a Microwave Without Summoning Satan

Does this mean if I use a lower wattage, say, thawing some food, that I will only get a lesser demon?

(reply)

.... it might explain how diabolical some of the ready-meals are.

(reply)

Well, actually, you get the same demon but for less of the time.

Microwaves reduce their power by running intermittently.

At full power the demon is summoned, and then banished by the "bing" at the end.

At lower power settings the demon is summoned then banished a few times a second. This annoys the demon considerably and is therefore a much greater risk.

"joke" has become a catch word for any vaguely humorous utterance..

Puns, riddles, limericks...etc.

Even actual attempts at relating real jokes are often trite and lame with silly premises, edited references and awkward punch lines.

You should write the official rules of the joke, pass a law and convict perpetrators who break your rules. Author itarians love that shit.

Did you hear about the polar bear that came up from a hole in the ice and said "radio"?

No.. well, what about the polar bear who was taking a shower and called to his wife, "Please hand me the soap"? She replied, "No soap, honey... radio!"

Still not sure? Then think about the polar bear who was driving his sports car when he was stopped by the police. The policeman said, "Okay, let's see your license!"
He replied, "Polar bears don't have driving licenses, but I have a radio!"

A deaf and dumb accountant was working for a Mafia family. When it was realised that large amounts of money were missing, the Don sent some heavies round to to the accountant’s appartment with a sign language interpreter.

“Ask him where the money is” says one of the mobsters.

The interpreter signs the question and the accountant signs back: “What money?”

“The Don’s account is down by 10 G’s. We know he took the money. Ask him again!”

The interpreter duly signs the question and gets back the reply “Honest, I don’t know what you are talking about”.

The mobster draws a gun and says “Tell him he’s got one minute ro come up with the dough or I’ll blow his brains out”.

This time, the accountant signs back “OK, OK! It’s under the floor boards in the next room. Please don’t kill me”.

“What did he say?” asks the mobster.

The interpreter replies “He says you can go and **** yourself”.

A couple lived on a remote farm. One winter's night there was a particularly heavy snowfall, so much so that the woman was unable to make it home. When she arrived the next morning, she told her husband that she had stayed at friend's house. Suspicious, he phoned round her ten best friends and one of them did, in fact, confitm that she had stayed over.

The next winter. It was the husband's turn to get stranded and claimed to have stayed over with one of his drinking buddies. When his wife phoned round his ten best friends, six of them confirmed that he stayed with them and two reckoned that he was still there.

A husband and wife, both teachers, lived in house facing a bank on the opposite side of the road. One day, as they were arriving home from work, they witnessed an attempted armed robbery taking place outside the bank. The quick thinking security van driver put the van into gear and drove away, leaving the frustrated would-be robbers to make a dash to their get-away car and speed off, empty handed, in the opposite direction.

After it was all over, the couple saw a bag lying on the floor where the security van had been. They picked it up and peeked inside. It was full of money. It must have fallen from the van when it drove off with its side door open. They took it inside the house and counted the cash. It came to £5,000.

"We'll have to take it to the police station to hand it in" said the husband.

"No we won't" replied his wife "Finders keepers!"

"But that would be dishonest" he said.

"The insurance company will sort the bank out. They will just assume that the robbers took it. It's about time a bit of good fortune came our way. I'm going to hide it in the attic. If we spend it bit by bit, nobody will be any the wiser".

"Well I don't approve. I don't approve at all".

The next day, the police were going from house to house, asking the locals if they had seen anything that could be useful to the investigation. When they knocked on the couple's door, she said "No, I didn't see anything. I was in the back garden at the time. I like keep myself to myself".

Just then her husband shouts from living room, "DON'T BELIEVE HER! She's got £5,000 hidden in the attic".

"Don't pay any attention my husband" says the woman in an anxious tone. "He's going senile!"

"Even so madam, I think we need to talk to him" said the policeman. "Now then sir, what can you tell us about yesterday?"

"Well, Jane and I were walking home from school ..."

"Thank you madam" interrupts the policeman, "We've got a lot of doors to knock on. I'll leave you to look after your husband".

Editorial remarks are the least funny of all. Parents used to teach their young, 'if you don't have something good to say don't say anything' at all.
Of course, hearing what you don't get or find humorous by text is on the ridiculous side.

Ernie, in his eighties, was admitted to a care home some 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. A Senior staff member, 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 of 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 Suuupersexxxxx'!!!!. He paused for a few seconds then replied ' I think I'll have the soup'.
