Why can’t you give painkillers to jaguars in the rainforest?
Because they have a relative lack of glucuronoyl transferase, the enzyme that conjugates paracetamol with glucuronic acid, and are far less able to cope with the resulting suphates, leading to methaemoglobinaemia (the enzymes for dealing which are also fewer and further between in felids), hypoxia and death.
Oh, and also the parrots eat 'em all (paracetamol). (Doesn’k work well if you happen to call this drug acetominophen, sorry, you’ll have to write your own punchline for that).

So we’re going obscure, are we?
I found myself in a state of nervous ecstacy while contemplating a picture of Marie-Henri Beyle. There ought to be a name for that.

Erwin Schrödinger, Noam Chomsky, and Kurt Gödel walk into a joke.
Schrödinger: I can’t tell if this joke is funny or not.
Chomsky: It’s funny. You’re just not telling it right.
Gödel: Of course you can’t tell if it’s funny. You’re in the joke!

Schrödinger and Heisenberg are driving down the freeway when they’re pulled over by a cop. He asks Heisenberg ‘Do you know exactly how fast you were going, sir?’ and Heisenberg says ‘No, but I can give you my precise location.’
The cop walks around and pops the trunk. He calls round, ‘Hey, do you know you’ve got a dead cat in here?!’ Schrödinger sighs and replies, ‘Well, now I do!’

Ah, but did you turn rouge, noir or just a faint chartreuse?
(Not a joke)
Unrhetorical one. What is the difference between an onion and bagpipes? No one cries when you cut bagpipes in half.
I disagree strongly but it made me laugh and is suitable for all ages.
Now, back to the good ones.

In his book on the philosophy and psychology of jokes, Daniel Dennett offers an example I like:
A man says to a hot dog vendor, “Make me one with everything.” The man is a Zen Buddhist.

A man walked into a cafe and ordered a coffee with no cream.
The barista replied, “I’m sorry, sir, we’re out of cream. How about a coffee with no milk instead?”

My undergrad group heard that as:
“The Buddha walks up to a hot dog vendor and says, ‘Make me one with everything.’“
We added:
“Hot dog vendor throws together the dog and passes it to the Buddha. The Buddha hands the hot dog vendor a five spot. The hot dog vendor starts to wheel his cart away and the Buddha says, ‘hey bitch, where’s my change?’ Hot dog vendor looks at the Buddha and says, ‘Change must come from within.’”
