I can never think of a good one when put on the spot, so I always use:

Q: How do you catch a polar bear?
A: You cut a hole in the ice and line the hole with peas. When he comes to take a pea, you kick him in the ice hole.

(I said it was my best. That doesn't mean it is funny. Grin Hope to hear some better ones.)

This might actually out me. My husband has a joke that he tells CONSTANTLY. It has been told on several continents. It has caused actual physical pain and distress to complete strangers (made a man in a full body cast laugh; he must have been on drugs, because it’s an awful joke).

And the setup for the last ten (TEN) years, has gone like this...
Something unfortunate happens.
RightYesButNo’s DH tells her
RightYesButNo: Ugh, you’re joking
RightYesButNo’s DH: If I were joking, I would have said, “Two cannibals are eating a clown and one turns to the other and says, ‘Does this taste funny to you?’”

That’s it. Anytime some poor bastard says any iteration of, “You’re joking, mate,” he gets DH deadpanning the two cannibals joke. If I forget yet again, I get the fucking two cannibals joke AGAIN. I’ve heard it at least a thousand times probably.
