At a recent demonstration outside parliament:

Man with megaphone: What do we want?
Crowd: A cure for Tourettes!
Mwm: When do we want it?
Crowd: Cunt!

[Enzo]

Alright, that's tasteless enough to amuse me.

The Maple Leafs are Toronto's hockey team, the Canadiens, Montreal's.

For many years there has been an intense rivalry.

On a tour of Florida , the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the Pope mobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore. A helpless man, wearing a Montreal Canadiens jersey, was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot shark.

As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men wearing Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Canadiens fan from the water. Then using baseball bats, the three heroes in blue and white beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat also.

Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach.

"I give you my blessing for your brave actions," he told them. I heard that there was some bitter hatred between Leafs and Canadiens' fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not the truth."

As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies "Who was that?"

"It was the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom."

"Well," the harpooner said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he doesn't know a thing about shark fishing... how's the bait holding up?"

There was a South African version of this joke, involving crocodile hunting. I leave it to you to imagine the likely identities of the various participants.

[Arneb]

Oh, I know that one, too. Afrikaner jokes, sick, sick, sick....

[KLA2]

Medical humour …

A man goes to his doctor's office to find out the results of his tests.

“I’m afraid I have bad news, and worse news” says the doctor.

“Oh, no. What is the bad news?”

“You only have 24 hours to live.”

“My God!” Says the patient. “How could there be worse news?”

The doctor says, “I have been trying to contact you since yesterday!”

[KLA2]

Hunting humour …

Two hunters are out in the Michigan woods. Suddenly, one clutches his chest and falls to the ground.

The other frantically calls 911 on his cell phone, and tells the responder that his buddy is dead, and asks what to do.

The responder says, “Calm down. First, be sure your companion is really dead.”

There is a brief silence on the line, then the 911 responder hears click, click, BLAM BLAM.

The hunter comes back on the line. “Alright, I’m sure. Now, what should I do?”

[KLA2]

And one for Valentine's day (here's looking at you, wring) ... :wink:

Sally was driving home from one of her business trips, in Northern Arizona, when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road.

As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride.

With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.

Resuming the journey, Sally tried - in vain - to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.

"What in bag?" asked the old woman.

Sally looked down at the brown bag and said: "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband."

The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then, speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said:

"Good trade ......"

Well, no news there...

So why are there only 18 laws?

[Lianachan]

Very old, this, but on the ofchance that somebody missed them here are safety warnings mandated by physics - the last one is probably my favourite.

Oh, and Mr Ba - outstanding work on the tourettes joke - which I have only just seen.

[KLA2]

So why are there only 18 laws?

Law # 5 redacted. There is no Law # 5 ... Citizen.

[Enzo]

Ah yes, from my college days:

The following exam contains 50 questions, numbered consecutively 1 through 75

[KLA2]

A man walks into a bar in Toronto carrying a small dog under his arm. The dog is wearing a Maple Leafs sweater. The man orders a glass of beer, and starts watching the hockey game on the TV. Suddenly, the Leafs score!

The dog goes crazy, barking, dancing, spinning, and turning back flips on the bar.

“Wow!” says the bartender, clearly impressed. “What does he do when the Leafs win?”

The man replies, “I don’t know. I have only had the dog for five years.”

[KLA2]

An elderly man is stopped by the police around 1 a. m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.

The man replies, "I am going to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body."

The officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"

The man replies, "That would be my wife."

[Arneb]

In the middle of a function at my hospital (which is part of the largest Protestant welfare organisation of the country), we had two priests speaking. On the spot, I invented the shortest priest joke (and told it to our hospital priest right awqay): There was that priest who gave a short sermon.

[KLA2]

Arneb, do NOT give up your day job. :wink:

[Мастер]

In the middle of a function at my hospital (which is part of the largest Protestant welfare organisation of the country)

So you have changed sides then?

[Arneb]

You mean, re. confessions? :wink:

Yes, I've had it with Catholics, now I am with my own bunch again. The joke applies to both faculties, though.

[KLA2]

Two zombies, eating a clown.

The first zombie says, "Does this taste funny to you?"

[wring]

The past, the future and the present walk into a bar. It was tense.







(shamelessly stolen)

[Arneb]

That one cracke up my wife (an English teacher).

[wring]

It cracked me up, too. It was like the big circus fire- it was intence.
