i also forgot for a moment which thread I had selected.
A Greek tragedian walks into a tailor’s with a pair of torn trousers.
The tailor looks up. ‘Ah, Euripides!’
The playwright says, ‘Yeah, can you fix ‘em?’
Canonically, the punchline is “ Eumenides?”
Wow. Tough crowd today.
I had to break up with my girlfriend yesterday when I found out she was a Communist.
I can’t believe it took me so long to see all the red flags.
Wow.
You’re Unbanned.
Yayy, then I can tell my joke about the robotic repair droid with a built in elevator. It works on so many levels.
I wrote a book of recursive humour, but the publisher rejected it for not being funny.
I think it’s because all of the jokes were in-jokes.
This weekend at one of my daughter’s baseball games, we were discussing scores of another game, which was 45-3. One of the kids asked “how do you score 45 runs?” I said “when you have 44 runs. Score one more “. He asked “how did they get 44?” Another kid said “they scored a run when they had 43, silly “.
I hope that one day some of those kids are learning programming and pause to think “oh, just like baseball”.
Hey, did you hear about that actor getting stabbed? Reese… Reese something…
- Witherspoons?
No, with a knife
I just caught my partner out with this. She laughed and said it was a really funny and intelligent joke and I’d told it well (with her eyes).
“Dear Penthouse letters, I never thought it would happen to me…”
All while her mouth said “you awful punned!”?
I feel that people -really- talk with their eyes, despite what they may actually be saying.
I tried that line once. The jury did not buy it.
The other week I went down to the pond to feed the ducks, and one of them bit me.
The next morning I found my toes had webbed together, and when I coughed it came out like a quack.
I went to see my doctor.
“A duck bit me and I think I have some kind of infection”, I began.
“What’s the nature of the sickness?” he asked.
“Mallardy” I replied.
“Ok, what’s the nature of the malady?” he asked.
“I’ve grown webbed feet, and it sounds weird when I cough”, I answered.
“Could you cough for me now?”
“Quack!”
“Well that’s uncalled for!” he exclaimed.
“I think I’m turning into a duck” I said.
“Do you have any other symptoms?” he asked.
“Not yet” I said. “I only hope I won’t wind up with a big bill.”
“That’s the one thing you can be certain of” he replied.
Just been up to York, where a local archaeologist showed me a tour of their lodgings on their excavation sites. Nice digs.
Two neutrophils walk into a bar. The barman points at thr youngest one and says, ‘Hey, you can’t come in here - you’re band!’.
