What are your best (clean) jokes?

138 replies

MugsyBalonz · 15/04/2025 07:54

DC is 10 and has got an obsession with jokes and making people laugh. All weekend they've asked me to tell them a joke and I've run out of new ones so please share with me your best clean jokes? And maybe some not so clean ones for me.

To start off, here is one DC told me:

I was at the beach and a man in the water was shouting "Help, shark! Help, shark!". I just laughed because no way was that shark going to help him.

A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman explore a haunted house.

The Englishman enters the study. Lying on the table is a five pound note. He stretches out a hand to take it, but then hears a ghostly voice: "I'm the ghost of Aunty Mabel - that five pound note stays on the table!"

He runs away.

The Irishman enters the study. He stretches out a hand to take the fiver, but then hears: "I'm the ghost of Aunty Mabel - that five pound note stays on the table!"

He runs away.

The Scotsman enters the study. He stretches out a hand to take the fiver, but then hears: "I'm the ghost of Aunty Mabel - that five pound note stays on the table!"

He replies: "I'm the ghost of Davey Crockett and that five pound note goes in my pocket!"

Please don't ban me...

An Englishman, an Irishman, a Welshman and a Scotsman are exploring in a far flung corner of the world.

They inadvertently trespass on a burial ground.

They are detained by the locals and taken to the Headman of the village.

"I accept that it was an accident, but you must be punished. You will each get 10 lashes. However, you may put on your back anything that you see in the village."

The Irishman spots a thick blanket and asks for that to be laid on his back. By the time his punishment has ended, his back is in a terrible mess and he has to be carried away.

The Welshman spots a sheepskin and asks for that. By the time his punishment has ended, his back has been cut and he staggers off with help.

The Englishman refuses any protection. "I am an Englishman! Do your worst!"

By the time the lashing has finished, his back is cut to the bone. A villager goes to help him stand up, but he shrugs off any help, pushes himself to his feet and begins to stagger away.

The Scotsman is dragged forward.

"What do you want on your back?"

"Can I have the Englishman?"

Sorry, one more (last one, I promise).

A dog went into a telegraph office to send a telegram. The dog wrote: “Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.”

The clerk read what the dog wrote and said, “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”

The dog replied, “But then the message wouldn’t make any sense.”
