How do you make an octopus laugh?
Give it ten tickles

I lost my job at the factory where they make Tickle-Me Elmos, after a lot of angry customer complaints.
It turns out that I'd misheard when the supervisor had actually told me to "Give each toy two test tickles before sending it for dispatch".

I've got 12 children, which surprises a lot of people when they see me out with them at the park. Every time somebody asks if they're all mine, I tell them "No, I work for a condom manufacturer - these are customer complaints!"

The word 'arachnophobia' means a fear of anything with 8 legs - such as spiders, scorpions or ABBA.

How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? Fish!

How many premenstrual women does it take to change a light bulb? DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING??? I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

A man wearing an expensive suit is crying in a forest when he mets an old hag. When she asks why he is crying he explains that he has embezled his company and is about to be arrested and when his wife finds out she will divorce him. The old hag declares that it is his lucky day as she is a witch and can make everything go away. She says some magic words and declare that his problem is now over.
He expresses his gratitude and asks if he can do anything for her in return to which she replies that she hasn't had sex for years. So they do the deed. After that he asks for reassurance: 'So when I go home everything will be fine?". She raises herself up on one elbow to look at him and says: "Aren't you a bit too old to believe in witches?"

How do you know if you've got elephants in the fridge?

Footprints in the butter.

Why do elephants paint their toenails red?
So they can hide in cherry trees.
How do you know it works?
Have you ever seen an elephant in a cherry tree?

How many elephants can you get in a Mini?
2 in the front, 2 in the back.
How many giraffes can you fit in a Mini?
You can't - it's full of elephants....

How do you know that your elephant is hiding under your bed? Your nose is touching the ceiling.

How does the elephants get up in the trees? They hide inside a nut and wait for a squirrel?

How does an elephant get down from a tree? They sit on a leaf and wait for autumn.

Why do beavers have flat tails? They are in the forests in the autumn.

Why are pygmies small? They hunt beavers in the autumn.

Why is it dangerous to be in the forest in the afternoon? That is when the elephants practice parachuting.

And finally ( and I do apologize for this one): How do you know that your elephant has its period? Your madras is gone.

Ok. (Settles down because it’s a long un!)

A man is in the desert. He’s getting hotter and hotter and soon realises he’s out of water and there’s nobody else around. He stumbles on and comes across a man in a suit.
’sir, I’m sorry but I was wondering if I could have a single glass of water?’
The man looks on him, seemingly pityingy (is this a word?!) and says ‘sorry, I have no water left, but would you like a tie?’ He holds up an assortment of business ties.
The man says no and crawls on. He gones across another man.
’oh god, thank god!’ he says. ‘Please help me, a drop of water, even, anything! I’m afraid I’m going to die’
The man pulled out ties again. The desert walker couldn’t believe it. ‘What? Why? Why all the times? I’m dying, please?’
but there was nothing until some time later when the man was so sore and parched he was sure it was better to give up. And then he saw it- a giant hotel with swimming pool, palm trees, people drinking cocktails. A man waited by the gate.
’oh please, please, please let me in, I just want any drink, and to feel the cool water.’
The man looked him up and down. ‘ of course sir, of course I’ll let you in. Just before you come in, we have something of a dress code. Have you got a tie?!’
