An orchestra is giving a performance of Beethoven's ninth symphony. During the interval between the third and fourth movements, the two double bass players decide to sneak out. They drop their instruments, which hit the two cello players in front of them. The cellists are unconscious for the remainder of the concert.
The bass players go to a bar and meet their friend, a European nobleman. They all get drunk and after a while, the first bassist says to the second, "Shouldn't we be getting back?"
The other guy says, "No, we've got plenty of time. Right before we left, I tied up the conductor's music with a piece of string. It'll take him a while to untangle it."
When it's finally time to start, the conductor looks really nervous. A member of the audience whispers to his friend, "Why is the conductor so nervous?"
His neighbour replies, "It's the last of the ninth, the score is tied, two men are out, the basses are loaded, and the count is full."

~LMAO!~

Brilliant!

...

[Edit:]

Okay, I know this is long, and many of you have probably seen it, but since we're going for puns, I simply couldn't resist. I nearly die every time I read it.

...

(We take you now to the Oval Office.)

George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening?

Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.

George: Great. Lay it on me.

Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.

George: That's what I want to know.

Condi: That's what I'm telling you.

George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?

Condi: Yes.

George: I mean the fellow's name.

Condi: Hu.

George: The guy in China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The new leader of China.

Condi: Hu.

George: The Chinaman!

Condi: Hu is leading China.

George: Now whaddya' asking me for?

Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.

George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?

Condi: That's the man's name.

George: That's who's name?

Condi: Yes.

George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of
China?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the
Middle East.

Condi: That's correct.

George: Then who is in China?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir is in China?

Condi: No, sir.

George: Then who is?

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Yassir?

Condi: No, sir.

George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.

Condi: Kofi?

George: No, thanks.

Condi: You want Kofi?

George: No.

Condi: You don't want Kofi.

George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.

Condi: Kofi?

George: Milk! Will you please make the call?

Condi: And call who?

George: Who is the guy at the U.N?

Condi: Hu is the guy in China.

George: Will you stay out of China?!

Condi: Yes, sir.

George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.

Condi: Kofi.

George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.

(Condi picks up the phone.)

Condi: Rice, here.

George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we
should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you
get Chinese food in the Middle East?

No, Hu is not at first base. Hu is in China.

This joke is from Funny2.com:

Boss's fast new CD burner needs the right media, so tech assistant asks the office secretary to order some recordable CDs rated at 40X. "Imagine my surprise later in the day," assistant groans, "to hear the water-cooler discussion about my trying to acquire 40 X-rated CDs for my department!"

And another joke I have heard, and I have hardly grown tired of it:

Our top story tonight: Convicted hitman Jimmy "Two Shoes" McClardy has confessed to being hired to beat a cow to death in a rice field using only two small porcelain figurines.

Police admit this may be the first known case of a Knick-Knack Paddy-Whack.

pasa un rato y el padre le toca accidentalmente la pierna en la rodilla, la monja se enoja y le dice: padre acuérdese del salmo 69.
el cura se disculpa y el viaje prosigue.
al cabo de una rato el cura le vueve a tocar la pierna, ya no tan accidentalmente un poco mas arriba de la rodilla...la hisoria se repite:la monja se enoja y le dice que se acuerde del salmo 69...el cura se disculpa..
luego de un rato pasa lo mismo pero ahora le pasa la mano cada vez mas arriba!lo mismo de antes.
luego el cura llega al convento y va corriendo a ver el salmo 69, y casi se muere al ver lo que dice:
-sigue subiendo hombre que arriba estará la gloria...
:D
in that case then no one would understand i, maybe Marlenny does.
the double sense that this joke have violates severily the CoC so maybe i will see the Canned title very soon...

You managed to get the punchline across, and I think that's all that could be reasonably expected.

Unfortunately, my Spanish is extremely rusty, so I didn't understand that. And even if the mods are fluent in Spanish, I doubt you'll get canned for it.

At worse, if it's really offensive, they'll probably just give you a warning. And even then, I doubt it immensely. ;)

A guy goes up to the Pope and says "Hey, I have a great Pollock joke." The Pope says "I'm from Poland, so maybe you shouldn't tell me." The guy replies, "That's ok, I'll go slow and repeat the hard parts."

This one's better when done out loud.

How did the Canadians choose the name of their country? They put a bunch of letters in a hat and drew them out one at a time. "C, eh?" "N, eh?" "D, eh?"

I have here another Jewish joke, which I didn't find all that good, but here ya go anyway:

A man goes to the rabbi.

"Rabbi, maybe I'm getting paranoid, but I think my wife is trying to poison me. Could you please speak to her and maybe find out her plans?"

The Rabbi goes to his wife and comes back after several hours. Then he says:

"I have talked tp your wife... for THREE HOURS!!! My advice: TAKE THE POISON!!"

Some would argue that if you changed "Rabbi" for "priest/doctor/neighbor/friend/anything", you could easily change the category from "Jewish joke" to "married man joke"... ;)

I really have nothing against the Poles, but this joke is really funny:

How do Poles change a light bulb?

Five: One stands on a chair and hold the light bulb, and the rest hold the chair at the legs and start turning the chair around.

There's another one like this:

How do feminists change a light bulb?

One stands on a chair and replaces the light bulb, while an other yells at the other "ITS NOT FUNNY!"

A young man went to visit his grandmother and took one of his friends with him. While he was talking to his grand- mother, his friend began to eat the peanuts that were on the coffee table, and finished them off.

As they were leaving, the friend said, "I'm sorry, I ate all of your peanuts." The grandmother replied, "Oh that's all right sonny, I can't eat them. Since I lost my dentures, I can only lick the chocolate off of them."

It's funny 'cuz it's true, Jewels. My uncle, a retired divorce attorney, told me this one once:

—What do you get when you cross a lawyer with a pig?
**No one knows. There are some things even pigs won't do.

CHICHO and MARLENNY: Minus ten points from Hufflepuff for writing jokes I can't read.

DREW: I have a nice "mystery meat" deli sandwich here as your prize.

ALEX: Thank you for the cartoon fix. You do not disappoint. It afforded me as good a laugh as I've had here yet, and I am happy to report that my withdrawal symptoms of twitching and sweating have subsequently disappeared.

ZEPHYR: Those were just plain painful. But it hurts so good.

ERIKA: Most excellent. My kind of dumb pun-ishment. As your reward... (Atrus should appreciate this one too if we can tear him away from Myst III long enough to read it)...

—A couple of tourists are walking through a graveyard in Vienna. They begin to hear what sounds like backwards music and become puzzled. They approach the groundskeeper and ask him, "What is that weird backwards-sounding music we keep hearing?" The groundskeeper replies, "Oh, that's just Mozart decomposing."

THRALNI: This one's for you, because you earned it:

—A man runs into a police station in Warsaw and frantically shouts, "Officer, officer, my wife's trying to KILL me!" The officer replies, "Now settle down and tell me why you think that's true." The man declares, "Because I found THIS in her purse!" as he pulls out a bottle of Polish Remover.

ALORAEL: Hee hee hee. No sig joke required after that.

I've seen that joke in English, too.

A better Jewish joke: A young man calls his mother and says, "Mom, I know you'll be disappointed in me. You sent me to years of religious school and Hebrew classes, you were so proud when I was bar mitzvahed. But Mom, I just can't be Jewish anymore. I've found Jesus and he changed my life. I've been going to church every Sunday and everything."

His mother doesn't know what to say or what to do, so she does what she always does in times of trouble: she calls her rabbi. "Rabbi, I need help!" she tells him. "I raised my son to be a good Jewish boy, but now he's converting to Christianity!"

"Funny you should mention that," the rabbi replies. "I also have a son, as you know, and I also raised him as a good Jewish boy. I thought he would follow in my footsteps and be a rabbi too. But just a few days ago he called and said that he was converting to Christianity!"

"You, too?" asks the mother. "What did you do?"

"Well," says the rabbi, "I did what I always do when I'm in trouble. I prayed to God. And you know what? He answered me!"

"God answered you? What did he say?"

"Well..." the rabbi says slowly, "He said, 'Funny you should mention that. I have a son, and I raised him to be a good Jewish boy, and...'"

HA HA HA!! No, I mean it. That was the funiest joke I saw on this thread! But, really, I don't have anything against the Poles, really, I mean it.

Now I'm just curious: Was that joke meant as an insult, or did you really like the jokes I posted? (No, I'm not annoyed or angry, just curious :) )

Insult? Well, no, that wasn't my intention. I'm more a poke fun at people kind of guy, myself included.

Soooooo....let's see...I enjoyed the Rabbi joke which reminded me of the joke I just included for you. I think you managed to dredge up the very first lightbulb joke (there are probably millions now). The second lightbulb joke I'm not entirely sure I understand, though I am sure it must be funny. Right?

Well to your delight. I've decided to translate it all for you. Here it is:
Once upon a time there was a priest traveling in a bus. A nun gets on the bus and sits right next to him. As time goes by the priest accidentally touches her knee. The nun gets mad and tells the father: you should remember what psalm 69 says. The priest apologizes and the travel continues. A couple of minutes later, the priest, again, touches not so accidentally the nun's leg (a little bit above the knee). Well, history repeats itself; the nun gets angry and repeats the father to remember the words of psalm 69. The priest apologizes yet again. The same thing happens once more time just that the priest goes a little bit upper, but the nun repeats her saying. After a while, the priest gets to the convent and runs to see what psalm 69 says, and almost dies when he reads it.
"Keep going up and you'll find the glory".
