Respite – Favorite Joke Thread

PHenry says:

What’s your favorite joke?   I need a laugh. 

I’ll start. 

When I die, I wish to go peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, how about this one?

A woman goes to a tattoo parlor and wishes to have her favorite musicians’ images applied to each butt cheek.   Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. 

Upon completion, the tattoo artist hands her a mirror and the woman is horrified about how terrible his artwork was.  She insisted that neither looked like her favorites.  She refused to pay. 

The tattooist offered a solution.  Grab the first passerby off the street and if they recognize Elvis and Johnny she would have to pay in full. 

They agreed.   

This drunk was stumbling down the street and was recruited as the judge.  After studying the landscape he responded.
“Well, I don’t know who the two fellers on the outside are, but the one in the middle is definitely Willie Nelson.”

  2. I saw my orthopedic surgeon for a follow up visit. The first cortisone shot in my hip worked like a charm. The second, not so much. I said Doc the hip hurts most when I vacuum. He says then don’t vacuum. I almost fell out of the chair.

  3. Well having a parrot means I’m usually ready with some parrot jokes. These have been around.

    So this woman buys a parrot and brings it home.

    “Oh, new brothel, new dames…cooool “After a while the daughters come home. The parrot:” Oh, new brothel, new hookers…cooool. “After a while husband comes home. The parrot: “oh, new brothel, new hookers, old friends…hello Bob.”

    A man gets to his plane seat and is surprised to find a parrot strapped into the seat next to him.

    Once in the air, the stewardess comes round and the man asks her for a coffee. The parrot meanwhile squawks: “And get me a fucking whisky, you bitch.”

    The stewardess, somewhat taken aback, remains composed and brings a whisky for the parrot, but forgets the coffee. When the man points this out to her, the parrot immediately drains its glass and yells, “And get me another fucking whisky while you’re at it, bitch!” Visibly upset, the shaking stewardess returns shortly with a whisky for the parrot, but still no coffee.

    Unaccustomed to such slackness, the man loses his temper and decides to try the parrot’s approach: “I’ve asked you twice for a coffee, bitch, now go and get it or I’ll give you a slap!” In a couple of seconds, two burly stewards grab both him and the parrot, take them to the emergency exits and throw them out. As they are ejected from the plane, the parrot turns to the man and says: “You know, for someone who can’t fly, you’re a right lippy fucker.”

  4. A few more…
    “I stayed up one night playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.”

    “When we were driving over the border back into the United States, they asked me if I had any firearms. I said what do you need?”

    “I called the wrong number today. I said ‘Hello, is Joey there?’ A woman answered and she said ‘Yes he is.’ And I said ‘Can I speak to him please?’ She said ‘No, he can’t talk right now, he’s only two months old.’ I said ‘Alright, I’ll wait.'”

    “I was Cesarean born. Can’t really tell, although whenever I leave a house I go through the window.”

    “I went to a place to eat. It said ‘breakfast at any time.’ So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.”

    “I broke a mirror in my house and I’m supposed to get seven years bad luck, but my lawyer thinks he can get me five.”

  5. A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him.

    She says hello. He’s rather taken aback because he can’t place where
    he knows her from. So he says, “Do you know me?” To which she replies,
    “I think you’re the father of one of my kids.”

    Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, “My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made
    love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your
    partner whipped my butt with wet celery?”

    She looks into his eyes and says calmly, “No, I’m your son’s teacher.”

  6. I come from a large family and one day I asked my Dad why he and Mom had so many children. He said it was because Mom was hard of hearing. I asked him what that had to do with it. He said every night when they went to bed, he asked Mom, “Do you want to go to sleep or what?” And she said, “What?”

  7. talked to a homeless man this morning and asked him how he ended up this way.
    Long
    He said, “Up until last week, I still had it all. I had plenty to eat, my clothes were washed and pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had TV and Internet, and I went to the gym, the pool, and the library. I had lots of loyal friends. I had sex almost every day. I was working on my MBA on-line. I had no bills and no debt. I even had full medical and dental coverage. Now I’ve lost it all.”

    I felt sorry for him, so I asked, “What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce?”

    “Oh no, nothing like that,” he said. “No, no. Because of Corona virus, I was unexpectedly paroled.

  8. A woman walks into a butcher shop and orders a Long Island duck.
    She shoves her finger up it’s ass and declares ‘this isn’t a Long Island duck. Now get me a real Long Island duck!’

    The butcher brings out one more. Then another and another, each one getting the finger up its ass, each one rejected as not being a Long Island Duck.

    Finally, the butcher brings out a duck that survives the finger probe. Now THAT is a Long Island Duck!!!

    Wrap it up. I’ll take it.

    The butcher wraps it up and the lady says, “you’re new around here. Where do you come from?”

    The butcher turns around and drops his pants and replies,
    “I don’t know lady, why don’t you tell me.”

  9. At the Annual International Conference of Brilliant Scientists, it was confirmed that humanity had it all figured out, and there was no longer a need for God. A vote was taken and a rep selected to let Him know He would be let go.

    God took it well but suggested a friendly competition before leaving. “How about you and me, we each create a bit of Life right now?”

    “Sure,” says the scientist, “I got this,” scooping up a handful of dirt.

    “Whoah,” says God. That’s my dirt. Start with your own dirt.”

  11. A couple I ran across on the interwebs that I liked enough to save:

    A boy complains to his mother that his little sister keeps pulling his hair.

    “Oh,” responds the mother, “she doesn’t know that it hurts.”

    A few minutes later, the mother hears the girl scream and runs into the other room.

    “She knows now,” the boy explains.

    A man is out walking in a pasture when a hot air balloon drifts close.

    The man in the balloon hollers down, “Where am I?”

    Man on the ground replies, “You are in a hot air balloon, about 50 feet above the ground.

    Man in the balloon says, “You must be an engineer, what you have told me is completely accurate, and totally useless.”

    Engineer replies, “You must be a manager, you don’t know where you
    are or where you are going, and somehow it’s my fault.”

  12. There was this guy that had a problem – he had a really high pitched voice that he disliked. He also had a huge wanger. He went to a doctor to see if he could help him. The doctor examined him and said “the problem is your huge wanger is straining your vocal cords causing the high voice. If you removed half of it you should have a normal voice.” Well Squeaky wasn’t happy with this and went back home. After a few more days driving himself crazy with his high pitched voice he went back to the doctor. He said “Doc I just can’t take it anymore let’s do the operation!” So he performed the operation and Squeaky’s voice was normal and all was well for awhile. But after awhile he started to miss his full manhood and he went back to the Doctor. “Doc I’m sorry to be a pest but I really miss that big old thing and all things considered I really want it back. Is there any way you can sew it back on?” The Doc answered back in a high pitched voice “Oh no I don’t think that’s possible” 🙂

  13. A guy sees a sign in front of a house: “Talking Dog for Sale.” He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard.

    The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting there.

    “You talk?” he asks.

    “Yep,” the mutt replies.

    “So, what’s your story?”

    The mutt looks up and says, “Well, I discovered my gift of talking pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running.

    The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired.”

    The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

    The owner says, “Ten dollars.”

    The guy says, “This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him, so cheap?”

    The owner replies, “He’s just a big liar. He didn’t do any of that stuff.”

  14. A brunette and a blonde were both expecting and sitting in a doctor’s waiting room. The brunette was beaming and happily told the blonde the she knew she was going to have a boy because she was on top when she conceived and statistically that’s what usually happens.

  16. A German, a Frenchman and an Englishman go fishing…

    They fish quite happily for a while until the German catches a huge golden fish, but as he pulls it off the hook it says ‟Please do not kill me! Spare my life and I will grant you all a wish!”

    The German throws the fish back and says ‟I wish for a mug of beer that will never empty”, and immediately a foaming mug of ice-cold German ale appears in his hand.He takes a long swig and when he puts it down, it’s still miraculously full! The Frenchman and Englishman are, of course, amazed.

    ‟I wish,” said the Frenchman, ‟For a wall to be built around France, ten miles high and ten miles thick, so that nobody can get in and nobody can get out.”
    The fish screws up its eyes in concentration for a moment then says.‟Done! And what do you want?”

    ‟Is there a wall around France?” asks the Englishman
    ‟Yes.” replies the fish.
    ‟Is it ten miles high and ten miles thick?”
    ‟Yes.”
    ‟And can nobody get in, and nobody get out?”
    ‟Yes.”

    ‟Well then,” says the Englishman, ‟I want you to fill it with water.”

  17. Mary hadn’t been quite complete for several years. But the one she thing she truly enjoyed was to run up and down the hallways as fast as she could in her wheelchair.
    The other residents would humor her. And as she’s racing down the hallway, Bill would hold his hand up and say let me see your license. Mary would dig around in her purse and she pulled out a Kit Kat wrapper and showed it to do bill. Bill said okay that’ll do.
    Mary takes off down the hallway again and Harry steps out in the hallway and hold his hand up, and said let me see your registration. Again Mary digs in her purse and pulled out a coaster from the dining room table. Harry says okay that’ll do.
    Mary races down to the end of the hallway, there stands Pete, stark naked. Mary pulled up in her wheelchair and says, “oh no, not the breathalyzer.”

  18. (I don’t know if you would consider this a joke, but it is definitely my favorite pun.)

    As you may know, strawberries can have different sexes. A farmer managed to grow an exceptionally large female strawberry, measuring over 15 inches in width. Suspecting it might be some kind of record size, he called the Department of Agriculture and they agreed to send out an expert to inspect it.

    The scientist arrived and proceeded to make various measurements including width, length, weight, etc. When he concluded he told the farmer that it was the largest one he had ever seen and probably a world record.

    The farmer was pleased to hear this, but then the man picked up the strawberry and said, “However, to be sure, I’ll need to take it back to the lab and run a few more tests”.

    The farmer became alarmed and said, “Wait a minute – you’re not going anywhere with my giant female strawberry!”

    At this the expert became offended, drew himself up, and said, “See here – I came to appraise your berry, not to seize her!”

  19. Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: “Free to good home. You want it, you take it”.

    For three days the fridge sat There without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal. It looked to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: “Fridge for sale $50.”

    The next day someone stole it.

  20. This is a true story.

    A little old lady from Wisconsin had worked in and around her family dairy farms since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard work and little compensation.

    When canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery stores in the 1940’s, she read an advertisement offering $5,000 for the best slogan.

    The producers wanted a rhyme beginning With “Carnation Milk is best of all.”

    She thought to herself, I know everything there is to know about milk and dairy farms. I can do this! She sent in her entry, and several weeks later, a black car pulled up in front of her house.

    A large man got out, knocked on her door and said, “Ma’am… The president of Carnation milk absolutely LOVED your entry… So much, in fact, that we are here to award you $1,000 even though we will not be able to use it for our advertisements!”

    He did, however, have one printed up to hang on his office wall.

    Here it is:

    CARNATION MILK IS BEST OF ALL
    NO TITS TO PULL, NO HAY TO HAUL,
    NO BUCKETS TO WASH, NO SHIT TO PITCH,
    JUST POKE A HOLE IN THE SONOFABITCH.

First, you will be on your side with one of your legs hiked up. This gives the doctor easier access to you rectum so he can insert a probe to get a look at the inside of your colon. You will feel a little pressure in your belly. So to help you relax, I’m going to give you a Valium. The nurse then asks John if he had any questions about the procedure. John said he did not have questions and he was ready to get it over. The nurse chuckled and patted John on his shoulder. While leaving the room the nurse looks back and said “oh I forgot one thing. Now,don’t worry about the erection. It is normal and happens almost every time.”
    John immediately said ” Well, I know I am not going to get an erection”. The nurse laughed and said “I wasn’t talking about yours, I was talking about mine”.

  32. Bob lived in California and was a lifelong environmentalist and was defeated in the House of Representatives election. He was sick of the world; of Covid-19, Brexit, Russian belligerence, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media headlines.

    Bob drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and window as best he could. He got back into his car and wound down all the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car and revved it to a slow idle. Four days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services and they broke in, pulling Bob from the car.

    A little sip of water and, surprisingly, he was in perfect condition, but his Tesla had a dead battery.

    This is to be expected from a California Democrat.

The Kentuckian says that he does not know how to swim, so the Hoosier tells him that he will turn on his flashlight & he can walk across the river on the beam. The Kentuckian says you must think I’m stupid because when I get halfway across you’ll turn it off!
