Two men went into a restaurant. They both ordered the same dish from the menu. After they tasted it, one of the men went outside the restaurant and shot himself. Why? I'll put the answer below incase you want to guess. But I can't see how the hell you could ever reach this conclusion [confused]

I have one more...
Imagine you are in a small room. There are no doors or windows, the walls are reinforced concrete and you have nothing on you that can break through it. There is no furniture in the room or anyone else except you. How do you get out?[/quote]
I know how this goes...

After being stranded on a desert island with only albatross to eat. in order to make catching them easier, you learned how to mimick their mating calls. So, you mimick the mating call from inside the room,which alerts the local albatross population to your presence. Luckily you had the foresight to train said population,that when they hear your mating call, they are trained to triangulate your call, through a series of signals, and then ring the emergency services. They communicate by tapping their beaks in Morse code. they give the location, after finding the "what 3 words" from the app, they tap out the situation you're in. They then send messenger albatross to your location,and they will relay the message that help is on the way. When you are released, you cry, Because you realise your son is now an albatross.

Right?

@00100001 I think basically Albatrosses are the answer to everything now?

Boswell one still isn't quite correct, if you want to be a pedant about it. I must have missed the original, this is a really old one, I first heard in East Anglia in the early 70s

For short they call him boss and he

Becomes

For short they call him Boss Andy

Boss Andy walks up the post office steps - making him the Post Master Andrew Boswell

Boswell is still shit no matter how you word it.

I there must have been a big book of these in the 80s as we know so many that are the same.

Here is my contribution: (it too is shit)

A woman goes to the cinema. At the end of the film she walk straight to her car in the car park even though the street lights and car park lights aren’t on. How come?

The thing I don't get about the proper Boswell, is why is it funny???

Absolutely no idea. I didn't know it was supposed to be. It's a riddle, not a joke, isn't it?

00100001 · 06/03/2021 19:29

People claim it's funny...

Eg. @LastStarFighter said "
It’s a bad joke but made me laugh when I first heard it."

@apalledandshocked

A man lies dead in a muddy field. There are no footprints leading to or away from the body, and no clue as to his death except for an unopened bag that lies with him. How did he die???

Inside the bag was an albatross. The man had been stranded many years earlier on a desert island. On this day, he found the bag in a field and when he saw the albatross inside, it reminded him of his son, who was actually an albatross. The sudden grief caused him to die of a heart attack. A nearby rookery of albatrosses saw what occurred and performed a mourning ritual around the man's body that involved brushing the ground with their open wings, which removed all footprints.

Pretty obvious, right? Me and my family actually figured it out when I was 14.

Just reviving this thread to say this post really made me belly laugh @Octane, thank you!

And delighted to see that Boswell was solved!
