04 Oct 02 - 12:31 AM (#796590) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: Rick Fielding Good jokes. My all time favourite is this well known musical joke. Two rock fans, one English and one Scottish are listening to an old Rolling Stones album. Mick is singing "Hey you! Get offa my cloud"....when the Scotsman says "That's really an old Scots song you know"? The Englishman seriously doubts this, so the Scotsman says, "It really goes" "HEY MACLEOD, GET OFFA MY EWE"!

One of the results in his new reasearch found by this British researcher was that Germans have about as much humour as British. That shouldn't make his research too popular (in Britain). Wolfgang |

04 Oct 02 - 06:53 AM (#796704) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: Bagpuss The trouble with these "funniest joke" surveys is that they usually end up with a joke that most people find fairly funny, but hardly anyone actually thinks is the funniest joke they know. Thats because we all have such different senses of humour that we find different jokes really funny, while others find the same ones not funny at all. So the best rating tends to go to the mediocre joke that most people give a fairly positive rating to. My favourite jokes at the moments are ones with the following punchlines: "It's driving me nuts" "The peanuts are complimentary and the cigarette machine is out of order" "It's not a lion, it's a giraffe" and "He's a total cyclepath" If you don't know them, see if you can work out the joke from the punchline.

04 Oct 02 - 10:18 AM (#796817) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: SharonA I'm from southeastern Pennsylvania, near New Jersey, and around here Pennsylvania hunters have a greater reputation for stupidity than New Jersey hunters. I'm not sure why the joke's originator picked New Jersey except that the state has a long history of being picked on by jokesters. I don't find the joke particularly funny because something quite similar – but more sinister – happened here in southeastern PA not too long ago. A guy who had (he thought) killed his mother called 911 to report the murder, but during the call the woman revived enough to make noises that were clearly heard by the 911 operator and recorded on the tape. The guy finished off his mother while still on the phone with the operator, and the noise of the killing was also recorded on the 911 tape and heard by the operator. |

04 Oct 02 - 11:48 AM (#796872) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: Bagpuss I'll warn you, I'm no good at telling them (especially when the punchline is already known). Its fairly simple, about a man in a pub and goes to buy some cigarettes from the machine and he hears a voice in his ear saying "You F***ing B***ard". He looks around, but can't see who said it. When he gets back to the bar he orders a pint and helps himself to some peanuts on the bar, and hears a voice saying "You're really good looking, you". Again he looks around and can't see anyone who could have said it. he turns to the barman and says - "I think I'm going mad. I keep hearing voices when there is no-one around to say anything" and he recounts what happened. The barman replies, "Oh don't worry about it,.......*insert punchline here*......". Now all *groan* together... Bagpuss |

04 Oct 02 - 12:05 PM (#796885) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: Coyote Breath I overheard this joke, told by my uncle Ted, over fifty years ago and I still think it is the funniest I have ever heard. But I'm sure it validates what Bagpuss said. A guy is at a gallery opening. There are four "heroic" sized figures in a group. He stand, amazed looking at it for almost a hour. The first figure's head is bent, his right hand covers his mouth. The second figure stands with his arm outstretched, finger pointing boldly. The third figure is in a combative posture, his fists raised as if to strike. The fourth figure is bent slightly, his head resting on his arm. Sculptor comes up. "Well do you like the group?" he asks. "Yeah, I guess so." "Do you understand it's meaning?" "well, I think so." "Ok, these are representatives of four conditions of mankind. The first is man as thoughtful, contemplative. The second is man looking ahead to the future, boldly showing the way. The third is man, defending himself and all mankind from attack. The fourth is man, humble in all things." "Oh boy did I get that one wrong! I thought it was 'Who sh-t!' 'He did!' 'The son of a bi-ch!' 'I'm sorry!'" Of course, it requires the teller "acts" out the poses. CB |

07 Oct 02 - 05:13 AM (#798149) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: Dave Bryant I once read a story (I think it was in a sci-fi anthology) about the funniest joke in the world - the problem was that everytime someone worked it out they laughed themselves to death! My favourite, however, shouldn't hurt too much:- A man is walking along the road and suddenly his way is blocked by a funeral proccession. At the head are two hearses which are followed by a man leading a dog, following him a short distance back is a long file of people numbering several hundred. Curious, he asks the man with the dog who's funeral it is. "The first hearse has got my mother-in-law in it - she was a miserable old bag, but the dog bit her and the next day she died". "The next hearse contains my wife - she made a huge fuss and tried to get the dog put down, but it bit her and she died the following day". The first man thought for a while and then asked "Can I borrow your dog for a while ?" "Get in the queue with the rest" it's owner retorted. |

07 Oct 02 - 02:24 PM (#798397) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: GUEST,Argenine Leadfingers, I love that skeleton joke, too. Hard to say what the funniest one is, of course, but one that nearly made me split my sides laughing was the one about the farm couple with the pig that had only three legs, still wearing a bandage where the missing leg would have been attached. When a guest inquired about why the pig had only three legs, the couple proceeded to tell many stories of the heroic exploits of the pig and how much it had come to mean to them. I'm not going to post the rest of it, because I really think that much of the humor is lost when you read a joke instead of hearing it. But if you don't know this one, ask your friends if anyone knows the one about the farmers' pig that was missing a leg. (Or if you are really creative, maybe you can figure out the punch line, which consists of the farmers' ultimate answer as to why the pig has only three legs.) Arge |

He's astonished to see that it's a chicken, and checking his speedometer, reckons it must be going about fifty miles an hour. The chicken disappears over the horizon and a few minutes later a farm truck pulls alongside and flags him down. 'Have you seen a three-legged chicken pass this way?' says the farmer. 'A three-legged chicken? Where on Earth do you get one of those from?' 'Well' says the farmer, 'Me and the missus and our eldest lad all like a leg when we eat chicken, and to stop any arguing, I bred a new strain of three legged birds.'

Let's go for stupid A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead." Caught for speeding The cop got out of his car and the kid, that was stopped for speeding, rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said. The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket. Stuck under a bridge A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads "low bridge ahead." Before he knows it the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks around to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?" The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas." Drunk? The drunken wino was stumbling down the street with one foot on the curb and one foot in the gutter. A cop pulled up and said, "I've got to take you in, sir. You're obviously drunk". The wasted wino asked, "Ociffer, are ya absolutely sure I'm drunk?" "Yeah, buddy, I'm sure," said the copper. "Let's go." Obviously relieved, the wino said "That's a relief - I thought I was a cripple." Dealing with trouble A deputy police officer responded to a report of a barroom disturbance. The "disturbance" turned out to be well over six feet tall and weighed almost 300 pounds. What's more, he boasted that he could whip the deputy and Muhammad Ali too. Said the policeman, "I'll bet that you're also an escape artist-probably better than Houdini." The giant nodded. "If I had some chains," the deputy continued, "you could show us how strong you really are. But all I've got is a set of handcuffs. Why don't you see just how quickly you can break out of them?" Once in the cuffs, the man puffed, pulled and jerked for four minutes. "I can't get out of these," the giant growled. "Are you sure?" the deputy asked. The fellow tried again. "Nope," he replied. "I can't do it." "In that case," said the deputy, "you're under arrest." Too Late The man was in no shape to drive, so he wisely left his car parked and walked home. As he was walking unsteadily along, he was stopped by a policeman. "What are you doing out here at 2 A.M.?" asked the officer. "I'm going to a lecture." The man said. "And who is going to give a lecture at this hour?" the cop asked. "My wife," said the man. |

10 Oct 02 - 10:59 AM (#800347) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: Jimmy C "A woman stopped by unannounced at her recently married son's house She rang the doorbell and walked in. She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally naked. Soft music was playing; the aroma of perfume filled the room. "What are you doing?" she asked. "I'm waiting for my husband to come home from work," the daughter-in-law answered. "But you're naked!" the mother-in-law exclaimed. "This is my love dress," the daughter-in-law explained. "Love dress? But you're naked!" "My husband loves me to wear this dress," she explained. "It excites him to no end. Every time he sees me in this dress, he instantly becomes romantic and ravages me for hours on end. He can't get enough of me." The mother-in-law left. When she got home, she undressed, showered, put on her best perfume, dimmed the lights, put on a romantic CD and laid on the couch waiting for her husband to arrive. Finally, her husband came home. He walked in and saw her laying there so provocatively. "What are you doing?" he asked. "This is my love dress" she whispered, sensually. "Needs ironing," he said. Jimmy |

10 Oct 02 - 04:24 PM (#800589) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: EBarnacle1 Many years ago, I was helping a friend move about six blocks in Manhatten in the middle of the night. The 100 year old rubber tree would not fit into the car, so we put it on a dolly and proceeded to his new apartment. About half way there, a police car stopped and asked what we were doing. After sizing up the officer, I commented that we were walking my friend's rubber tree. The officer asked why. I explained that the tree was 100 years old and incontinent. As a result, if we didn't walk it regularly, it would make a mess on the floor. After he got done laughing, the officer waved us on. |

11 Oct 02 - 09:16 AM (#800993) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: Teribus There's always the one about Jesus and the Glaswegian Irishman with a bad leg enters a bar and sits down on a stool at the bar, he painfully hefts his bad leg onto the foot rest and orders a whisky. Looking down the bar he notices someone else sitting down the end of the bar. He calls the barman over and asks, "That guy sittin' down the end of the bar - is that Jesus?". The barman nods his head and says, "Yeah that's him, he's one of my regulars". The Irishman then says, "In that case would you get him a large whisky on me". The barman gives Jesus the whisky and Jesus nods at the Irishman. Just then an Italian with an extremely distorted spine walks into the bar and sits down beside the Irishman. He orders a glass of Chianti. The Irishman taps him and points towards Jesus. The Italian calls the barman over and asks, "That guy sittin' down the end of the bar - is that Jesus?". The barman nods his head and says, "Yeah that's him, he's one of my regulars". The Italian then says, "In that case would you get him a glass of Chianti on me". The barman gives Jesus the Chianti and Jesus nods at the Italian. just then a Glaswegian enters the bar and sits down beside the Irishman and the Italian. He orders a pint of Lager. The irishman and the Italian tap him on the elbow and point towards Jesus. The Glaswegian calls the barman over and asks, "See youse is that God's boy doon yonder, yye ken yon Jesus". The barman nods his head and says, "Yeah that's him, he's one of my regulars". The Glaswegian then says, "In that case would youse get him a pint o' lager on me". The barman gives Jesus the lager and Jesus nods at the Glaswegian. Jesus finishes up his drink, nods to the barman and makes his way up the bar to the door. He stops by the Irishman and lays his hand on the Irishmans shoulder and says, "Thanks for your kindness and hospitality, you are cured." The Irishman jumps up from the stool, his leg is as good as new and he does an irish jig out of the door. Jesus then stops by the Italian and lays his hand on his shoulder and says, ""Thanks for your kindness and hospitality, you are cured." The Italian gets off his stool, straightens his back and does a series of back-flips out of the door. Jesus then approaches the Glaswegian, who jumps off his stool and says, "Keep yer han's tae yersel' Am oan Disability Allowance." |

15 Oct 02 - 11:54 AM (#803613) Subject: RE: BS: 'World's funniest joke' identified From: Amos I've always enjoyed reflecting on the story of the man who was half (insert preferred stupid minority here) and half Italian.... who made himself an offer he couldn't understand. It seems to me this joke reflects on the moron in all of us. Other favorites: "Well, ma'am, I used to thing I was a real cowboy, but now I think I'm a lesbian!" and "Sheep LIE!" and "Adios, Muddahfuggah!" What's really wonderful is the range and depth of humnaity's efforts to make itself laugh -- it really is a very deep art form. A |
