Funny


So apparently some researchers determined the 50 funniest (English language) jokes, some how. Here is the list. Most of them are not that funny. Only a couple are sexist or racist. A couple of them did make me smile:
34. There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
And:
48. Went to the corner shop - bought 4 corners.

Reading these made me want to share a couple of my favourite jokes. 
What's green, fuzzy, has four legs, and if it falls out of a tree and onto your head, it'll kill you?
A pool table!
Stop it, stop it, you're so funny!

I like it because it's absurd. 

Okay, a better joke:
A man was driving along a winding mountain road. Another car approached him, and as it drove by a woman leaned out the window and yelled at him, "Pig!" He shouted back at her, "Bitch!"
Then he turned the corner and hit a pig in the middle of the road. 

Yeah, it's been a while since I posted something substantive. I'm working on it! Until then, please share your favourite jokes in the comments!

  2. Warning! My jokes could be upsetting to people who like dogs, babies and/or chickens...



    Q: What do you do with a legless dog?

    A: Take it for a drag



    Q: Why did the dead baby cross the road?

    A: Because it was stapled to the chicken.

  5. Most of them are rather lame.

    While you're criticizing racism and sexism, could you not engage in disablism? I'm lame. That doesn't mean I'm not funny.

  7. A favorite of mine:
    What's brown and sticky?
    A stick!

    Incidentally, I was once driving and saw a turkey at the side of the road, and it did occur to me how difficult it would be to warn anyone about it.

Don't be an obvious troll!

I would prefer if you don't post as "Anonymous". You don't have to sign in to comment, so just pick a name and stick with it. Just so that I can have a better idea of who's commenting. Thanks!
