DH loved this kind of silly joke.
Someone broke into the police station and stole the toilets... the cops have nothing to go on ...

The Irish (apologies for racism) are planning a manned mission to the sun (apologies for sexism). They're going to go at night so they don't get burned ...

Did you hear about the guy who invented the USB plug? When he died they tried to put his coffin in the grave but they had to take it out and turn it over and then put it in. (as a computer guy, this one really got DH. now that he's sadly died, each time I do this with USB cables, I think of him)

Why did the elephant paint his toenails yellow? So he could hide upside down in a bowl of custard. (This was DH's all time favourite)

Why were the elephants able to go swimming? They were the only ones with trunks.

A person at a job interview is asked to describe him/her self in 3 words. S/he replies, 'Lazy.'

@tarheelbaby "Apologies for racism"?! Wtf? Apologising doesn't make racist jokes ok!

Agreed. At least I know that's an offensive set up and tried to acknowledge that. For me, the funny part of the joke is going to the sun at night to avoid sunburn.

I can think of plenty of nationalities/groups I could substitute. All of those would be offensive to someone. Please adjust the set up to your taste and to amuse your listeners.

Jokes don't make sexism ok either or animalism but sadly, many jokes, by definition have a butt.

Not everyone finds every joke funny.

I arrived early at the restaurant last night.

The manager said, “Do you mind waiting for a bit?”

I said, “No, not at all”.

He said, “Good, take these drinks to table 9 for me".

Elephant jokes are the best.

Why is an elephant big, grey and wrinkly?
Because if it was small, white and round it would be an aspirin.

Why do elephants paint their balls red?
To hide upside down in cherry trees.

What's the loudest sound in the jungle?
Tarzan picking cherries.

What's grey, with four legs and a trunk?
A mouse going on holiday.

Mick and Paddy, both looking for work, see a notice saying "Tree fellers wanted."
"Would you look at that, tree fellers," Paddy said to Mick. "What a pity there's only two of us."
