The rabbit said, "I want a motercycle helmet." And he got his wish. The bear went up and said, "I wish to be the only male bear in the United States, and all the rest to be female."

DON'T start correcting every bit of the Jewish things that I don't do totally perfect!!! `preg_replace('/!+/','/!/',$post);`The funny thing is, I'm neither a Jew nor a practicing Christian (agnostic, rather). It has nothing to do with knowing anything about religion, but rather with telling good jokes. If it doesn't add to the punchline, leave it out. The hair color, age, favorite food and height of the rabbi has nothing to do with the joke; neither does his profession or religion. If you add trivial details, the joke becomes boring and too long.

Dallerdin with a custom moniker. Shock Trooper Member # 3898	written Wednesday, October 19 2005 01:06 Profile #31 Unless, of course, part of the point of the joke is for it to be so long before the listeners get the punchline. (Such jokes usually aren't that good, though). For example, the joke of the man in the desert. Once there was a rich man travelling through the desert with a gigantic train of 100 camels, each one led by a trained camel handler and carrying a cargo of expensive items. Anyway, the rich man was travelling on his lead camel when he suddenly heard this weird voice, saying "one... two... three... four...". He ignored it and kept on going, but it kept coming back and annoying him, so eventually he stopped the camels, went to the camel behind him and began to search through it, looking for anything that counted, but couldn't really tell, so he just dumped the camel's cargo in the desert and kept riding. But then he heard something say "three... four... five... six..." quietly, and he nearly jumped off his camel, went to the man who was handling the now-empty camel behind him and searched him for anything that could be making the noise, but found nothing, so simply had the man and his camel go away into the desert, and kept riding. Then he heard the same voice saying "nine... ten... eleven... twelve..." and was so curious and angry that he did exactly the same thing with the next camel. Then he heard the voice saying "one... two... three... four...", and did it with the next, and the whole procedure was repeated many times until he had no camels left. It was night-time by then, and he decided he should light a fire to keep out the freezing chill of a desert night, but he didn't have any way to light one. So, he thought for a while, but then he remembered his packet of cigarettes and lighter in his front pocket. He quickly grabbed them and pulled them out, and then he heard the voice in his ear again. "one... two... three... four...". But as he did, he saw, on the front of his packet of cigarettes, the words "It's the tobacco that counts". -------------------- ~Note : The professional newbie's advice should not be taken seriously, or at all.~ L I N K A G E Posts: 364 \| Registered: Saturday, January 17 2004 08:00
Albus Dumbledore Warrior Member # 3870	written Wednesday, October 19 2005 01:30 Profile Homepage #32 Granted, but even there, the details are only in it to raise the tension. You make no mention of the rich man's eye color, I note. ;) I know one other joke that does this, and it really can't be told in writing. You start thusly: "What's big and green, eats stones, and lives five meters underground?" "A big green stone-eater." Optionally, you can now throw in some other stupid question/answer jokes like this one, before leading up to the next part. As said, it's the length that counts. Change the topic. This is the hardest part to do, because you want to distract and make people partly forget the joke you just told, but not completely. Eventually, pose this hypothetical scenario (how you lead up to it is your business): Imagine the Earth's core was solid and at normal temperature, so that you could burrow a tunnel through it. That's a vertical tunnel, passing right through the Earth's core and coming out on the opposite side, somewhere in Australia possibly. Keep in mind the Earth is about 40,000 kilometers wide in circumference, and its gravity acceleration is 9.81 ms^-2 . Now, imagine you take a stone and let it fall into the hole. Will the stone reach the other end? ---- drumroll No! Why? Well, it falls five meters, and then it reaches the big, green stone-eater... -------------------- "Toleration is not the opposite of intoleration, but is the counterfeit of it. Both are despotisms.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, October 19 2005 07:49 Profile Homepage #39 A joke that I must profess to like out of proportion to its objective quality, whatever that may be: A man, let's call him Ted, visits his friend, Rupert, in another city. Rupert invites Ted to the bar where he always goes to meet all his drinking buddies. So the two show up, and as they walk in the door, someone at the end of the bar shouts, "511!" Everyone in the bar chuckles. Ted thinks it's a little weird, but he and Rupert sit down and order drinks. Then, as their drinks arrive, another man yells, "17!" and gets a few laughs. Ted turns to Rupert and asks, "What's going on here?" "It's very simple," Rupert explains. "We're all regulars here, and we've told our jokes so many times that we decided to just give 'em all numbers to save time." "Oh," says Ted. "Okay. 102!" Dead silence. "What? What did I do wrong?" Rupert shakes his head. "You have to have better delivery than that!" "All right. 924!" Now everyone in the room bursts out laughing until tears run down their cheeks. Several people fall off their barstools and can't manage to get up. Finally, when everything calms down, Ted helps Rupert back into his stool and asks, "That was a big response. Was my delivery that much better?" "No, it's just that we'd never heard that joke before!" Feeling pretty good about this joke system now, Ted tries something new. "Root 18!" Silence again, and Rupert elbows Ted hard. "Hey! We're civil guys! We don't tell those kinds of jokes here!" —Alorael, who has heard this joke told in many different forms (often in a prison instead of a bar), and usually with only one punchline. The first two work together, but the third is a stretch unless it has the joke to itself. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Monday, November 7 2005 00:15 Profile #46 A redneck family from the hills was visiting the city and they were in a mall for the first time in their life. The father and son were strolling around while the wife shopped. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, "Paw, What's 'at?" The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I dunno. I ain't never seen anything like that in my entire life, I ain't got no idea'r what it is." While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers abo ve the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous, voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out.

Two Mexican soldiers, Juan and Ramone, are separated from their company and are wandering lost in the desert. They go without food or water for two weeks when Ramone says he can't go any further and is about to collapse. Juan tells him, "Come on, Ramone, we'll find food and paradise just over the next ridge, I'm sure." So Ramone picks up and they keep on going. Surely enough, they see a tree on the next ridge with bacon growing off of it. Ramone runs up to it shouting, "Juan! Juan! I've found a bacon tree!' when all of a sudden there's a burst of machine gun fire and Ramone drops to the ground, wounded. Juan is stunned and runs to Ramone, crying, "Ramone! Ramone! What happened?" Ramone replies, "Juan, Juan. It was not a bacon tree. It was a hambush!" I love that joke. You have to say the dialogue with an accent, though.
