    Oof!

    Never again, not never, not never before the heat death of the universe, will I be accused of telling a bad joke again, in the light of the existence of that effort!

    hahahahaha :tongue:
  • Last night's weather was so stormy, we lost a quarter of our roof!

    I might be as thick as a whale sandwich, but I just don't get it! Is it explainable? Please, pretty please ....

    Subtract the 'r' (ie one quarter of the word) and you have 'oof'.

    Darling minor, after the joke was explained to her, thought it was hilarious. She has just been learning quarters at school.

    Ah, the joke depends on the final word 'oof' in the posting. This I hadn't realised.

    Hence its inclusion in bad jokes.

    I don't trust stairs. I think they're up to something.
  • I was preparing for a party. and brought up a balloon with my face on it! The host realised once I had blown it up so I had to not use it and got rid of it.

    I let the host down, I let the party down, but most of, I had let myself down.

    I prefer the Dibbly version with the child who brings a pin to their inflatable school.

    Another version is of the little balloon who tried to get into bed with his parents. He found there wasn’t enough room, so let a little air out of daddy balloon. There still wasn’t enough room, so he let some air out of mummy balloon. There still wasn’t quite enough room, so finally he let some air out of himself. Now there was plenty of room and he fell asleep.

    The next morning, when daddy balloon realised what had happened he was very cross and said to the little balloon “you’ve let me down, you’ve let your mother down and, most of all, you’ve let yourself down”
  • I saw a woman working away furiously at a sewing machine. She seamstressed.
  • At least it reminded you of other versions of that joke.

    Why did the golfer wear two pairs of trousers?

    In case he got a hole in one.
  • Am shockedandhorrified to report that our younger daughter called yesterday and mentioned that her 9 year old son came home in a state of near collapse, laughing. "We learned a new word today - 'perpendicular'! It's a word with a dick in the middle!" I can hardly imagine my own mother's reaction if I'd said that, but I think it would have involved an amount of physical pain.
  • I hope they don't live in Scunthorpe .... 9 years old is indeed quite young to be aware of hidden rude words in ordinary words. They are everywhere. But no new thread, please. At least not in Heaven!

    These insults are from an era before the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words. Insults then, had some class!

    1. "I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play;
    Bring a friend, if you have one."
    George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill.
    "Cannot possibly attend first night, I will attend the second...If there is one."
    - Winston Churchill, in response.

    I suspect a lot of those are either misattributed or apocryphal.

    E.g. the canonical version of No 2 is -
    "Earl of Sandwich: 'Pon my soul, Wilkes, I don't know whether you'll die upon the gallows or of the pox.
    Wilkes: That depends, my Lord, whether I first embrace your Lordship's principles, or your Lordship's mistresses.

    Charles Petrie The Four Georges (1935); probably apocryphal"

    You have obviously never taught a group of schoolchildren about the planet Uranus.

    They tend to work on the principle "if a joke if funny the first time, it will probably be at least fifty times funnier the fiftieth time"...

    TT, I think my Dad worked on the same principle with the puns he used to make. He would have loved this thread - though minus the rude words. I read out some of it to my brother when he was visiting his response was the same.
  • I haven't spoken to my wife in weeks. I figured I'd hear her out.

    Puns are probably the worst of all. My friend has a personalised licence plate on his car that says "Punnedit". The rest of his family don't think it's funny.
  • How do you measure a snake?

    In inches. It has no feet.

    "Sir, is it true that Uranus is turned through 90 degrees"

    Etcetera etcetera etcetera

    I was completely shocked

    When the stationary store moved.
  • I don't always tell Dad jokes, but when I do, he laughs.

    Just had a dealer try to sell me a piece of stone he said was from Ireland and kissed by St Patrick. When I looked underneath it said, 'Made in China,'

    Obviously a sham rock...
