*This thread seems to be winding down naturally after 5 days, and I appreciate that everyone has a different sense of humour, but I would just like to say that my favourite so far has been the one from MalcolmsBrokenWalrusMoneybox with the following:

My grandparents were called Pearl and Dean. We didn't call them that of course, we called them grandma and papapapapapapapapapapapa.

I had never heard that one before, and of course that does make a huge difference, but it just appeals to my type of humour.

I did actually laugh out loud upon first reading.*

I don't get that one? Confused Blush

@73kittycat73 - that is bloody brilliant!

bellinisurge · 30/07/2018 19:07

Apologies it was @Badbilly !

ScreamingValenta · 30/07/2018 19:10

@bellinisurge I think it was first posted by @MalcolmsBrokenWalrusMoneybox then quoted by @Badbilly and @73kittycat73 - but it certainly bears repetition because as you say, it's brilliant Grin.

Went for an interview at a Blacksmiths
Blacksmith: "Are you any good at shoeing horses?"
I said: "No but I once told a Donkey to fuck off"

I took my daughter to the zoo & she saw two monkeys having sex.
"What are the monkeys doing" she asked.
"The male monkey is stopping the female from feeling lonely" I said.
"Uncle Dave's really nice, keeping mum from being lonely all day, while you're at work then" she replied.

So why do beavers have flat tails?
They like to go for walks in the forrest in the autumn.

It hides inside a nut and waits for a squirrel.

Why is it dangerous to walk in the forrest between 2 and 4 pm?
That is when the elephants are practising parachut jumping.

Did you hear about the midget psychic who escaped from prison? She was a small medium at large.

The good thing about my addiction to drinking brake fluids is that I can stop whenever I want.

I didn't think I'd be able to put up a fence with only wood glue, but I nailed it.

I stayed up all night wondering where the sun had gone... and then it dawned on me.

(related:) I was trying to figure out why the ball seemed to be getting bigger - and then it hit me.

I just came across this and immediately thought of this thread. Grin Be warned, it's truly awful. Cut and pasted from a US website.

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. "Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name.

The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager. Patty explains that she will need to secure the loan with some collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall - bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

The bank manager looks back at her and says........."

"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone." (You're singing it, aren't you?!!)

Two nuns are late getting back to the convent so they have to climb over the wall to get in.
Sitting on the wall, one nun says to the other:
“I feel like a commando!”
“So do I,” says the other, “ but where would we find two commandos at this time of night?”

OK - a medical one.
A clinician, a psychiatrist, a surgeon and a pathologist go duck hunting. They are crouched in the hide when they hear the swish of wings and quack, quack, quack.
The clinician looks out and says "well it looks like a duck, it flies like a duck, and it sounds like a duck but IS it a duck ?
The psychiatrist peeps out and says "it looks like a ......etc. flies... etc. and sounds like a duck but does it WANT to be a duck ?
At this point the surgeon jumps up, downs the duck, storms out of the hide, grabs it, stomps back in, shoves it into the hands of the pathologist and says THERE I've got the bally thing out now YOU tell us what it is !!
