So, share with us the jokes you know... any kind of jokes will do (though if you don't use bad language, it will be much better ;) ).

One day a traveling salesman was driving down a back country road at about 30 mph when he noticed that there was a three-legged chicken running alongside his car.
He stepped on the gas but at 50 miles per hour. The chicken was still keeping up. After about a mile of running the chicken ran up a farm lane and into a barn behind an old farm house.

The salesman had some time to kill so he turned around and drove up the farm lane. He knocked at the door and when the farmer answered he told him what he had just seen.

The farmer said that his son was a geneticist and he had developed this breed of chicken because the he, his wife and his son each like a drumstick when they have chicken and this way they only have to kill one chicken.

"That's the most fantastic thing I've ever heard," said the salesman. "How do they taste?"

"I don't know," said the farmer. "We've never caught one."

Jokes that don't include bad language and rudeness aren't usually very funny. So if rude jokes are not allowed then I can't post one :wave:

There are two statues in a park, one of a nude man and one of a nude woman.
They had been facing each other a pathway for a hundred years when one day an angel comes down from the sky and, with a single gesture, brings the two to life. "As a reward for being so patient," says the angel, "You have been given to life for 30 minutes to do what you've wished to do the most." Immediately, the two statues disappear off behind a shrubbery. The angel waits patiently as the bushes rustle and giggling ensues until, after fifteen mintures, the two return out of breath. The angel tells them, "Um, you have fifteen minture left." The male statue asks the woman staue, "Shall we do it again?"
"Oh, yes," she replies. "But let's change positions. This time, I'll hold the pigeon down, and you crap on its head."

A young woman buys a new parrot, she gets it home, and puts him in his cage. Almost immediately he says, "Awk... nice legs, baby... Awk." She's understandably pissed off and puts him in the freezer for three minutes, Whilst he's in the freezer, he realises he shouldn't say that again. The next day she's geting ready for bed when he says, "Awk...nice boobs, baby...Awk." This time she shuts him in the freezer for five minutes. When she gets him out, He gasps, "Awk...What the hell did the turkey say?...Awk."

They about as clean as mine get. Pretty squeaky :D .

This actually happened...

Been to Frankfurt Before?

The German controllers at Frankfurt Airport were a short tempered lot, they not only expected you to know your parking location but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground and a British Airways 747 (Speedbird)

Speedbird: "Good morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the active."

Ground: "Guten morgen, taxi to your gate.

The BA 747 pulls onto the main taxiway and stops.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?!"

Speedbird: "Standby ground, I'm looking up the gate location now.

Ground (with typical German patience): "Speedbird, have you never been to Frankfurt before?!"

Speedbird (coolly): "Yes, in 1944, but I didn't stop."

Q: Why did the little girl fall off the swing?
A: She didn't have any arms (is you laugh at that you're sick ;) )

Q: Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?
A: Someone shot it
Q: Why did the other monkey fall out of the tree?
A: It was hanging on to the other monkey's tail
Q: Why did the 3rd monkey fall out of the tree?
A: It though it was a game

Q: What do you call cheese that doesn't belong to you?
A: Nacho cheese (say it out loud...)

A man sees another man with an orange for a head, so he asks the man why he has an organge for a head. The man replies, "Well, I was granted 3 wishes. For my first wish I wished for world peace, and it was great and everyone loved me. For my second wish I wished for lots of money, so that I could spend money on all my new friends." The first man says, "But how does that explain why you have an orange for a head?", "well," says the first man, "for my 3rd wish, I wished that I had an orange for a head"

I'm sure that all those jokes are much funnier when someone tells you then instead of reading them, just because they are so stupid, but oh well

Allright I did post this one before but I don't know if it was on the boards, forgive me if I did:

2 guys walk into a bar. They sit down and order a beer. When they take a sip of there beer the first guy turns in a blood thirsty shark! He starts biting people woman children even a busload of nuns that where just having a drink, it's one big massacre people are screaming and blood is every where!

Then the second men, Tim if I'm right, takes a dead mouse from his pocket and beats the barman to death with it.

And you know what he askes? Do you wanna have fries with that?

I am dying to have that joke explained to me. :)

@Snook - you didn't get that? Well, then you probably won't get this one either (which is in keeping with the quality of some of the jokes we've seen so far):

Q: What colour of shoes does a priest wear?
A: Brown!

:hahaerr:

Hrmph - Can their posters (or someone else, who does get them) explain these jokes:
Morsmordre - second joke. | Metal lepers' last |
Sleepless' second | Splunge's .
Keep in mind that since I'm from Holland I may not understand/perceive certain cultural aspects in the jokes (yeah I'm paranoid - I see culture everywhere :eek: )
:borg:

@BBR - mine wasn't funny at all, which is why it was "in keeping with the quality of some of the jokes we've seen so far" ;) :p

And don't feel bad about not getting the other ones you mentioned; I didn't get them either.

Well I'm from holland to, so that is not the problem here.

Did you ever go to a mcDonald's or Burgerking? Our did you see a movie with a guy going to a mcDonald's or Burgerking? That's all I can say at this moment if you still don't get it, it isn't worth it :D

About metal leper's last joke: I think it's one of the best jokes ever! I told it to some colueges yesterday and they all looked at me with a "What the F*ck?" expresion on their faces! Lovely! :D

This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy
aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities
off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio
conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on
10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)
Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to
avoid collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the
North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15
degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND
LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE
ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS
SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES
NORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--OR
COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

:D

Lest anyone thinks the above is anything more than a joke: http://www.snopes.com/military/lighthse.htm

My last joke was rubbish - some people will laugh and some will look confused, but I doubt anyone can explain why it's funny

It's just the way that people are expecting some good reason/something funny, and then they get that... :D

Knock, knock.

"Who's there?"

"Biggish"

"Biggish who?"

"Not today thanks."

:D

I didn't get that one either. :(

Haha.

You wouldn't unless your British.

Theres guys (usually homeless bums) sellings magazines in busy streets. These magazines are called 'The Big Issue'. so you get people walking about with a tower og mags saying 'Big Issue?' to every passing person.

One day a girl wished se was smart, then she became a man!

There were tehse friars, and they needed to raise money for their church, so they decided to start a florist ship in a nearby town. The local florist in this town did not like this at all, as these friars were intrafering with his bussiness, because everyone wanted to by flowers from the men of God. He went to ask the friars to leave, and of course they refused because they needed the money for their church. The florist tried to get his mother to plead with them, and that failed too. So finally he hired Hugh McTaggert, the roughest, meanest thug in town. Mr. McTaggert went and 'convinced' the friars to close so, and of course they did so. Thus proving that Hugh and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

Don't get that one.

Have to be from the US to get it probaly. There is/was a TV character called Smokey the Bear, and he used to say that "You and only you can prevent forest fires".

2 classics:

Q: Whats curved, yellow and looks like a banana?

One day there was a guy. Tired of not understanding his female colegues. He wished he could be one of them.


So he turned Gay.

A man with an alligator walks into a small restaurant. He asks the waiter: "do you serve Gothenburgers here?" The waiter replies: "of course we do." The man then says: "Good. Give me a chicken soup, and a tender Gothenburger to my alligator"

Wanna hear a clean joke? Jimmy took a bath with bubbles!
Wanna hear a dirty joke? Bubbles was the girl next door!
~~~~~~~~~~~

So a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead are driving a car through the desert when their car breaks down. They get out and decide they should each take one thing while they walk to the next service station. The brunette and redhead each pick something and start walking and leave the blonde ondering at the car. The redhead turns the brunette and asks, "What did you bring?"

The brunette replies, "I brought our basket of food in case we get hungry, what did you bring?"

Redhead: "I brought our jug of water in case we get thirsty!"

The two, satisfied, keep walking until they hear an odd scraping behind them. They turn around to see the blonde with her item.

Brunette: "What did you bring?"

Blonde: "I've got the car door!"

Redhead: "Why?"

Blonde: "If we get hot we can roll down the window!"
~~~~~~~

A blonde is walking along a road that is parallel to some railroad tracks when she sees a brunette skipping along the tracks singing, "21! 21! 21!"

The blonde thinks its a game and joins in, singing, "21! 21! 21!"

Eventually the brunette hears a train coming and jumps off the tracks and into some bushes, the blonde, preoccupied with the game, gets run over...

The brunette gets back on the tracks and starts singing, "22! 22! 22!"

It got crowded in heaven, so, for one day it was decided only to accept people who had really had a bad day on the day they died. St. Peter was standing at the pearly gates and said to the first man, "Tell me about the day you died."

The man said, "Oh, it was awful. I was sure my wife was having an affair, so I came home early to catch her with him. I searched all over the apartment but couldn't find him anywhere. So I went out onto the balcony, we live on the 25th floor, and found this man hanging over the edge by his fingertips. I went inside, got a hammer, and started hitting his hands. He fell, but landed in some bushes. So, I got the refrigerator and pushed it over the balcony and it crushed him. The strain of the act gave me a heart attack, and I died."

St. Peter couldn't deny that this was a pretty bad day, and since it was a crime of passion, he let the man in.

He then asked the next man in line about the day he died. "Well, sir, it was awful," said the second man. "I was doing aerobics on the balcony of my 26th floor apartement when I twisted my ankle and slipped over the edge. I managed to grab the balcony of the apartment below, but some maniac came out and started pounding on my fingers with a hammer. Luckily I landed in some bushes. But, then the guy dropped a refrigerator on me!"

St. Peter chuckled, let him into heaven and decided he could really start to enjoy this job.

"Tell me about the day you died?", he said to the third man in line.

"OK, picture this, I'm naked, hiding inside a refrigerator...."

now that one is fcukin' funny! lol

Morsmordre, that was hilarious! :D

This one's a pretty much salvaged story with different versions. Anyway, you might enjoy it, so...

A pregnant woman figures in an automobile accident that left her in a coma for 4 months. When she woke up, she realized that she wasn't pregnant anymore and called for the doctor. The doctor told her that the baby was fine, in fact, she had twins... a boy and a girl. Also, that her brother came to name the babies for her. The first thing that came to her mind was: "Oh no! Not my brother, he's an indiot." But collecting herself and expecting the worse, she asked the doctor for the baby girl's name. The doctor says "Denise". And she thinks to herself: "Denise. That's a nice name, I like it. Looks like I was wrong about my brother after all." And she asked for the baby boy's name. And the doctor replied: "Denephew".

This is a story of true love.

Once upon a time there were a pair of childhood sweethearts. They were playmates as toddlers, best friends in elementary school, and were a steady couple all through high school. They even managed to stay true to each other through college even though they went to different universities.

Upon graduation they were to be married. Of course as luck would have it, the day before their wedding they were both in a tragic car accident and perished.

They were met by Saint Peter and welcomed into heaven. Upon hearing their story Peter arranged a meeting with the Almighty himself. God was so impressed by their love he asked them if there was anything he could do. They responded "All we ever wanted to do was get married, and we were never able to. Would it be O.K. if we got married in heaven?"

God thought about it and said "Let me get back to you".

The happy couple then went off to the cloud they were assigned and proceeded to wait.

After 250 years they still hadn't heard anything so they petitioned to speak to God again. He responded by saying he was working on it.

Another 500 years went by and they still hadn't heard from the Almighty so they sent him another note. He responded by saying he was working on it.

Then 250 years later they were summoned in front of God in which he announced that everything was all set. It was the most glorious wedding of all time. The angels sang, all of heaven danced and rejoiced.

Well as luck would have it a month later the happy couple wasn't happy anymore and went before God and requested a divorce.

God in great disappointment put his head in hands and moaned "You have got to be kidding me. It took me a thousand years to find a priest up here and now you want me to find a lawyer!" :)

In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth. And the Earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Devil said, "It doesn't get any better than this."

And God said, "Let there be light" and there was light.

And God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit," and God saw that it was good.

And the Devil said, "There goes the neighborhood."

And God said, "Let us make Man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle, and over all the Earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth."

And so God created Man in his own image; male and female created he them.

And God looked upon Man and Woman and saw that they were lean and fit.

And the Devil said, "I know how I can get back in this game."

And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

And the Devil created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought forth the 79-cent double cheeseburger.

And the Devil said to Man: "You want fries with that?"

And Man said: "Supersize them." And Man gained 5 pounds.

And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her figure that man found so fair.

And the Devil brought forth chocolate. And Woman gained 5 pounds.

And God said, "Try my crispy fresh salad."

And the Devil brought forth Ben and Jerry's. And Woman gained 10 pounds.

And God said, "I have sent thee heart-healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them."

And the Devil brought forth chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained 10 pounds and his bad cholesterol went through the roof.

And God brought forth running shoes and Man resolved to lose those extra pounds.

And the Devil brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil to change channels between ESPN and ESPN2. And Man gained another 20 pounds.

And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil."

And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition.

And the Devil peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fat fried them. And the Devil created sour cream dip.

And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips swaddled in cholesterol. And the Devil saw and said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest. And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

And the Devil canceled Man's health insurance.

Then God showed Woman how to peel the skin off chicken and cook the nourishing whole grain brown rice.

And the Devil created light beer so Man could poison his body with alcohol while feeling righteous because he had to drink twice as much of the now-insipid brew to get the same buzz.

And Man gained another ten pounds.

And God created the life-giving tofu. And Woman ventured forth into the land of Godiva Chocolate and upon returning asked Man: "Do I look fat?"

And the Devil said, "Always tell the truth." And Man did.

And Woman went out from the presence of man and dwelt in the land of the divorce lawyer, east of the marriage counselor. And Woman put aside the seeds of the earth and took unto herself comfort food.

And God brought forth Weight-watchers. It didn't help.

And God created exercise machines with easy payments.

And man brought forth his Visa at 21 percent. And the exercise machine went to dwell in the closet of Nod, east of the polyester leisure suit.

And in the fullness of time, Woman received the exercise machine from Man in the property settlement. It didn't help her, either.

Gee PacMan, looking at my own body I would say the Devil is indeed winning. :( :D

Purported to be the funniest joke in the world according to a survey done a year or two ago, albeit probably a bit condensed:

Two guys were out hunting one day when suddenly one of them fell to the ground screaming.
As the guy's buddy asked what had happened, they both saw a dark-coloured snake slithering off into the bushes so the buddy rang Emergency.
Operator: "what is your emergency?"
Man: "My buddy just got bitten by a snake and...oh God, it looks like he's dead!"
Operator: "Well, before anything else, just check to make sure he's dead"
Man: "Okay, hang on"
Pause....then a gunshot is heard
Man: "Yep, he's dead now. What next?"


And one I read just yesterday:
A Zen Master is walking along the streets of New Yorkl when he spots a Hot Dog vendor. He walks up to the vendor and says "make me one with everything"

Pacman, I know a nerdier version of the creation :D

Three couples went to a resturant. The women wanted to compliment the men with something that was on the table.
"Could you pass me the sugar, sugar?" said the first gal.
"Could you pass me the honey, honey?" said the second.
"Could you pass me the bacon, pig?" said the third.
