    Why do polar bears get down and dance to J S Bach?

    Because it's bear rock.

  • Another old one...

    So there's Noah, sending the last of the animals out of the ark, when he sees two sad looking snakes. "What's wrong?" he asks, "I told you to go forth and multiply!" "We can't", says one of the snakes, "We're adders".

    So the Lord said unto Noah, "Build thou a log table for mine adders". Said Noah unto the Lord, "Why must I build a log table for thine adders?. The Lord sigheth and answereth, "Because, using a log table, thou canst multiply by adding".

    Boom boom!

    I am determined to lose weight so I have started the Bon Jovi diet.

    I am only allowed to eat fruit. I am living on a pear.

    Can this one be explained? I know not Bon Jovi nor his (or her) songs. Sorry!

    That is actually quite an achievement. Bon Jovi is a beat combo playing music derived ultimately from the Blues via Rock and Roll, largely guitar driven, with the distinctive features of an overdriven guitar sound, virtuosity in guitar playing, it featuring regularly in a prominent position providing a melodic instrumental interlude, and dramatic vocals displaying a wide vocal range especially in the higher register.

    One of their biggest hits was "Living on a Prayer", exploring the difficulties of a young couple negotiating blue collar life in the USA.

    Did you know Peruvian Owls hunt in pairs?
    They are always Inca hoots.

    True or False

    Basically, English is where a bunch of Vikings learned Latin so they could shout at the Germans while in battle.

    Yep, really bad joke because English is at root a Germanic language.

    This doesn't even make sense, let alone a joke.

    A better explanation of English is where Germans learned French so they can shout at the Celts.

    Make the last one Vikings and it's close to accurate.
  • "Doctor, doctor, I'm scared of German sausage". "Ah, you fear the wurst?"

    "I was told these knickers were satin". "Well take them back and get a new pair".

    Both 'jokes' courtesy of two Waitrose cards I read whilst Mrs RR was choosing yoghurt.
  • ArethosemyfeetArethosemyfeet Shipmate, Heaven Host
    What did the paramedics say to the man knocked down by a giant sausage when visiting Berlin?

    Don't worry, the wurst has already happened.
  • NicoleMRNicoleMR Shipmate
    I may have posted this farther up, but it's worth repeating given the subject matter of the above two posts:

    What's it called when you exchange a seabird for a German sausage?
    Taking a tern for the wurst.

    My dream job of driving trucks in Australia turned into a nightmare when I broke down in the outback hundreds of miles from civilisation....... After three days, the water ran out and I started drinking my own urine...... After another three days I could no longer recycle my urine and realised I was out of options. I had to accept the inevitability of the situation so I had to open some of the Fosters I was delivering...............

    That is brilliant. The ending - as so often with their sketches - is a killer punch.

    I just wish I could remember all of these to add something to my list of four jokes.

    Mom: Go to bed, the cows are sleeping in the fields.

    If you're having a Cornish Pasty and it turns out that it is not, in fact, from Cornwall is it actually a Pastiche?

    I can claim credit for inventing this one, though I can't vouch for whether it is bad enough to qualify:

    Did you know Dire Straits wrote an Easter song?
    Bunnies for Nothing (and your Chicks for Free)
  • TurquoiseTasticTurquoiseTastic Kerygmania Host
    From TQTlet 2's bird book...

    What sort of bird comes wrapped in pastry?

    A pied wagtail!

    Apparently, there was some talk that Dire Straits should team up with Chris Rea to form a 'super group'. The only problem was that they would be called 'Dire-Rea'.

    As I posted earlier on this thread, the proper way to deliver that joke is:

    They would be called...

    Chris Straits.

    Hmmm ... I take your point, but my version works well in company. In print yours may be prefferable.

    Because it's much easier to brush your teeth with a toothbrush.

    I was reminded of this by something in the "Mary Magdalene" thread. Some US churches have women's circles, named after Biblical women. So:

    Eve circle: women who like fruit
    Martha/Leah circle: older sisters
    Mary/Rachel circle: younger sisters
    Sarah/Elizabeth circle: older mothers
    Bathsheba circle: women who like baths
    Naomi circle: mothers-in-law
    Ruth circle: daughters-in law
    Salome circle: women who like to dance
    Jezebel circle: women who like to wear makeup

    Invent your own. I don't have one for Mrs. Job or Mrs. Lot.
  • Gill HGill H Shipmate
    Mrs Lot circle: women who've just come back from the chippy.
  • EirenistEirenist Shipmate
    Delilah circle: Women hair stylists.
    Judith circle: Women who like camping.

    As it is, they reformed with only some of their members. They are no longe Dire Straits, they are just Dire.

    Irishman walks into a bar in Toronto. Orders a drink.

    Bartender notices the accent and asks: "What brings you to Canada?"

    Irishman says: "I was in having a drink in Dublin, and I notice the coaster under my glass said 'Drink Canada Dry' so I decided to give it a shot."

    Olaf, the Viking, goes into a grocery store.
    As he is shopping he comes across an elderly woman in a wheelchair almost in tears.
    What's the matter? asks Olaf.
    Oh, I so wanted to look at the frozen puddings; but, as you can see, there are three steps down into the chillers that I cannot get down, says the woman.
    No problem, says Olaf. I will take you.
    He picks her up, puts her on his back and takes her into the freezer
    She picks out three puddings and puts them into the hand cart Olaf is carrying.
    He takes her back to her wheelchair where her husband is waiting for her.
    The woman turns to her helper and says, Thank you, but I do not even know your name.
    Olaf just smiles, waves his hand, and walks away.
    The husband says to his wife, I was worried about you, where have you been.
    The women replies: I have been though the desserts on a Norse with no name.

  • As we are into puns, can I share an (allegedly) true C S Lewis story? He and the Portuguese ambassador were seated next to each other at a very posh college dinner. There were many, many courses. The ambassador turning to Lewis, remarked, "I feel like a Culinary Christopher Columbus". "Don't you mean a Vascular Di Gama?" Lewis replied.

    Nice.
