Not sure- it has responses now (mine and Ex's) and may be better left there with responses intact, as an example. I dunno. I'm not gonna propose it. If someone else wants to, then fair enough.

Anyway, no need to apologise, Shrug. It's a jokes thread. It's not like you actually need to follow it. You just post jokes in it. Which is what you did. And it'd be a shame for a thread with some real comedy gold to sink forever just because of one piece of shite.

Anyway... we're getting off the point.

Anyone got any good jokes?

There were four nuns gathered around a dead gazelle, in the desert. One nun says to the next, "does Jesus accept gazelles into the house of God?"

The second nun replies, "I would never accept such a rum creature into my house, however I am willing to consult the highest earthly authority on this matter" She reaches to her bible for further help.

"I also agree that such an abomination should not be allowed into the kingdom of heaven," says the 3rd nun, "did the Lord not teach us so?"

The fourth nun glances over, with a look of surprise at her sisters, nods sagely and says "this fucking camel hump is rite playing havoc with my fucking minge, what the fuck are we doing in the desert you bloody mentalists"

I know a religious joke too!

A catholic, jewish and muslim priest discuss how to spend the church donations.

jp: we draw a circle on the ground, throw the money in the air and what lands in the circle we spend for the church, the rest we take for ourselves.

mp: no, I suggest, we take the money that lands in the circle for ourselves!

cp: brothers, brothers! We throw the money up in the air, and whatever money he needs, the lord shall surely take.

Just read the whole thread - pollystark's joke was originally posted 3 years ago by banshee of the metaverse... It's interesting to see how people's opinions of what is an acceptable joke change - I think about half the 2003 jokes would result in a Policy thread nowadays...

This one's call Old, But Not Slow and landed in my in-box recently...


An elderly man in Florida had owned a large farm for several years.

He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice; picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was ideal for swimming, although he rarely did that anymore.

One evening he decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. He grabbed a five gallon bucket with which to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.

One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!" The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or to make you get out of the pond naked.."

Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed the alligator."

A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a flight from L.A. to New York. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game.

The blonde is tired and just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists. He explains how the game works. "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me, and vice-versa."

Again, the blonde politely declines and tries to get some sleep.

The lawyer figures that since his opponent is a blonde he will easily win the match, so he makes another offer. "If you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5, but if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."

The blonde figures there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, so she agrees. The lawyer asks, "What's the distance from the Earth to the moon?" The blonde reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

Then she asks the lawyer "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"

The lawyer is puzzled. He uses his laptop to search for references. He taps into the air-phone with his modem and searches the Net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends emails to his coworkers and friends. No luck. After an hour, he gives up. He wakes the blonde and hands her $500. The blonde politely takes the $500 and turns away to get back to sleep.

The lawyer, who is going nuts trying to figure it out, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"

The blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.

Phil Campbell from Motorhead told this one during an interview, his version was shorter and delivered in a somewhat drunken manner:


Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and the other called Christian.

Finally one day during a tropical storm, Justin said to Christian "I'm bored and frustrated at being a prawn, I wish I was a shark - then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten..." As Justin had his mind firmly on becoming a predator, a flash of lightning hits the water and lo and behold, Justin turns into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swims away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate.

Time went on and Justin found himself becoming bored and lonely as a shark. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them, Justin hardly realizing that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.

During the next tropical storm, Justin figures that the same lightening force could change him back into a prawn. Lightning never strikes twice except in stories like these, but while he was thinking of being a prawn again, a flash of lightning strikes the water next to Justin and lo and behold, he turns back into a prawn.

With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes, Justin swims back to his friends and buys them all a cocktail. Looking around the gathering at the reef, he looks for his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked. "He's at home, distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark" came the reply.

Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he sets off to Christians house. As he opens the coral gate, the memories come flooding back. He bangs on the door and shouts "It's me. Justin - your old friend. Come out and see me again"

Christian replies, "No way, man. You'll eat me. You're a shark, the enemy. I will not be tricked."

Justin cries back "No I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed I'm a prawn again, Christian!"

Ok, so this guy just bought a brand new apartment, and so he hosts a house-warming party for all of his friends to come in and check out his new pad. He shows them all the living room, the dining room, the kitchen, the bathroom, and finally, he gets to the bedroom.

Beside his bed is this big, brass gong. And his friends ask: "Dude, whats up with the gong?"

So he replies, "It's not a gong, it's a talking clock".

His friends continue to inquire. "A talking clock? How does it work?"

"Okay," he says, "You take this here hammer, and you hit the gong, and then the guy next door yells: "Will you Assholes shut up? It's 3:30 in the frikken' morning!"

And done.

Just fresh from the inbox, though maybe not in the telling (and the emailed one came with pics):

An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board but only 4 parachutes.

The first passenger said, " I'm Kobe Bryant, the best NBA basketball player, the Lakers need me, I can't afford to die"....So he took the first pack and left the plane.

The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, said, "I am the wife of the former president of the United States, I am also the most ambitious woman in the world and I am a New York Senator and a potential future president." She just took the second parachute and jumped out of the plane.

The third passenger, George W. Bush, said: "I'm President of the United States of America, I have a great responsibility being the leader of a superpower nation. And above all I'm the cleverest President in American history, so America's people won't let me die." So he put on the pack next to him and jumped out of the plane.

The fourth passenger, the Pope, says to the fifth passenger, a 10 year-old school boy, "I am old and frail and I don't have many years left,as a Catholic I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute."

The boy said, "It's OK, there's a parachute left for you. America's
cleverest President has taken my schoolbag."

Blonde Joke:

A beautiful blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started. Her boyfriend asks, What is it supposed to be when it's finished?" The blonde says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a Rooster."

Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a Rooster." He takes her hand and says, "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then.....", he said with a deep sigh,..... "Let's put all these Corn Flakes back in the box."

Another Duck Joke

Duck walks into a bar and orders a beer.

Barman says, "Hey, you're a duck"

"Nothing wrong with your eyesight," observes the duck.

"Yeah, but I mean - you can TALK" says the barman.

"Guess your ears are fine, too," answers the duck. "Now, can I have a beer please."

Barman serves the duck a pint and asks him what he's doing in the area.

"Oh," says the duck. "I work on the building site over there.

We'll be here for a couple of weeks, and I'll be in each lunchtime for a pint."

And each day the duck waddles over from his job at the building site and has his lunchtime lager.

Next week, the circus comes to town on its annual round.

Circus owner comes in for a pint, and the barman tells him about the talking duck.

"You should get it into your circus," he says. "Make a lot of bucks out of a talking duck. I'll speak to him about it."

Following day, the duck comes in at lunchtime.

Barman says: "You know, the circus is in town, and yesterday I was chatting to the owner. He's very interested in you."

"Really?" says the duck.

"Yeah. You could make a lot of money there. I can fix it up for you easily."

"Hang on," said the duck. "You did say a CIRCUS, didn't you?"

"That's right."

"That's one of those tent things, isn't it? With a big pole in the middle?"

"Yeah!"

"That's canvas, isn't it?" said the duck.

"Of course," replied the barman, "I can get you a job there starting tomorrow. The circus owner's dead keen."

The duck looked very puzzled.

"What the fuck would he want with a plasterer?"

Octopus is a bar

A guy walks into a bar with an octopus. He sits the octopus down on a stool and tells everyone in the bar that this is a very talented octopus. He can play any musical instrument in the world. Everyone in the bar laughs at the man, calling him an idiot. So he says that he will wager $50 to anyone who has an instrument that the octopus cannot play.

A guys walks up with a guitar and sets it beside the octopus. Immediately the octopus picks up the guitar and starts playing better than Jimi Hendrix. The guitar man pays up his $50.

Another guy walks up with a trumpet. This time the octopus plays the trumpet better than Miles Davis. This guy pays up his $50.

Then a Scots man walks up with some bagpipes. He sits them down and the octopus fumbles with it for a minute and then sits down with a confused look. "Ha" the Scot says. "Can ye nae plae it?" The octopus looks at him and says "Play it? I'm going to fuck it as soon as I figure out how to get its pyjamas off!!!"

Another Blonde Moment

A blond walks into a pharmacy and asks the assistant for some bum deodorant. The pharmacist, a little bemused, explains to the woman that they don't sell bum deodorant, and never have. Unfazed, the blond assures the pharmacist that she has been buying the stuff from this store on a regular basis, and would like some more. "I'm sorry," says the pharmacist, "we don't have any."
"But I always get it here," says the blond.
"Do you have the container it comes in?"
"Yes!" said the blonde, "I'll go home and get it."

She returns with the container and hands it to the pharmacist who looks at it and says to her, "This is just a normal stick of underarm deodorant."

The annoyed blonde snatches the container back and reads out loud from the container, "To apply, push up bottom."

Software problem

Can anybody help me with this software problem? You might have a similar experience?

A couple of years ago I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking mates 4.2 which I'd used for years without any trouble. However there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.

To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is also incompatible with several other applications, such as Lads Night Out 0.1, Football 2.0 and Playboy 6.1. Successive versions of Girlfriend have proved no better.

A shareware beta-programme, Party Girl 2.1 had many bugs and left Virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.

Eventually I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detect each other they caused severe damage to my hardware.

Sensing a way out I upgraded to Fiance 1.0 only to discover that this product has to be subsequently upgraded to Wife 1.0.

I did this largely because, whilst Wife 1.0 uses up all available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSex Plus and Cleanhouse 2000.

However I discovered that Wife 1.0 can be very unstable and costly to run.
For example, any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted; they then re-surfaced months later.

Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary Explorer and E-mail porn filter, and can, without warning, launch Photostrop and Whingezip.

These latter products have no help files and require you to try and guess the problem yourself. It also has an annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law, which can't be turned off.

Recently I've been tempted to try Mistress 2000 but there could be problems.

If Wife 1.0 detects the presence of Mistress 2000 it will delete all MS Money files before uninstalling itself.

Any ideas???

Claim by Penis

I, the penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:

I do physical labor

I work at great depths

I am always using my head first

I do not get weekends off or public holidays

I work in a damp environment

I don't get paid overtime or shift penalties

I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation

Response from Human Resources:

After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:

You do not work 8 hours straight

You fall asleep on the job after brief work periods

You do not always follow the orders of the management team

You do not stay in your assigned position, and often visit other areas

You take a lot of non-rostered breaks

You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working

You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift

You don't always observe OH&S measures, such as wearing the correct protective outfits

You don't like working double shifts

You sometimes leave your assigned position before you have completed your work

Blondevision

A blonde went to an appliance store sale and found a bargain. "I would like to buy this TV," she told the salesman.

"Sorry, we don't sell to blondes," he replied.

She hurried home and dyed her hair, then came back and again told the salesman, "I would like to buy this TV."

"Sorry, we don't sell to blondes," he replied.

"Darn, he recognized me," she thought.

She went for a complete disguise this time: a brown curly wig, big baggy clothes, and big sunglasses. Then she waited a few days before she approached the salesman again and said, "I would like to buy this TV."

"Sorry, we don't sell to blondes," he replied.

Frustrated, she exclaimed, "How do you know I'm a blonde?"

"Because that's a microwave," he replied.

Bear Hunting

Don was so excited to be going bear hunting. He spotted a small Brown Bear in the woods and shot it. Then there was a tap on his shoulder, he turned around to see a big Black Bear. The Black Bear said, "Don, you've got two choices, either I maul you to death or we have sex." Don decided to bend over. Even though he felt sore for two weeks Don soon recovered and vowed revenge. He headed out on another trip where he found the Black Bear and shot it. There was another tap on his shoulder. This time a huge Grizzly Bear was standing right next to him. The Grizzly said, "That was a huge mistake Don. You've got two choices. Either I maul you to death, or we have rough sex." Again, Don thought it was better to comply. Although he survived, it took several months before Don finally recovered. Outraged he headed back to the woods, managed to track down the Grizzly and shot it. He felt the sweet taste of revenge. But then there was a tap on his shoulder. Don turned round to find a giant Polar Bear standing there. The Polar Bear said, "Admit it Don, you don't really come here for the hunting, do you?"

Tony Blair is visiting a hospital.

"How are you today?" he asks the old man in the first bed.

"Wee sleekit cow'rin' tim'rous beastie," screams the man at him, so he moves on.

"And how are you?" he asks the second patient.

"Some hae meat but cannae eat!" yells this one.

"Hmm," says Tony to the doctor. "Is this the psychiatric unit?"

"Naw - it's the Serious Burns Unit."
