If it's not from the Êtille region of France, it's just flat water.
Sorry, I can't understand this!😶
French words beginning with êt are often from Latin words beginning with est which sometimes become English words beginning with st. Consider the êtats unis. Thus êtille might be from a (pretend) Latin word that became the English word still.
After a long day, a commuter took a seat on the train and closed his eyes.
A woman sat next to him. She took out her phone and called someone. "This is Sue. I am running late, hon. No, I swear there is no one else." The call went on for 15 minutes. Finally, the man spoke into the phone, "Hang up the phone, Sue, and come back to bed." Sue never used her phone in public again.
Sorry and all that, but that's far too good to count as a Bad Joke.
Once upon a time there was a dodgy geezer who used to inspect the tickets on double-decker buses. But he fell further and further into bad ways and even used to murder passengers sometimes. Once he was on holiday in the USA and repeated his activities there, but was caught and sentenced to the eletric chair. However, despite repeated attempts to execute him he remained miraculously unharmed and eventually the sentence was commuted.
"I've never seen anyone survive the electric chair," said the prison governor, "how come you're still alive?"
"Well," said the dodgy geezer, "it must be because I'm such a very bad conductor..."
I suvived the equivalent shock of an electric chair. I was 21. Three young women and I were climbing a 500 foot rock cliff when a storm came up. We hunkered down and finished the climb after it passed. When we got on top, we had a view of the canyon below. There was a high voltage line that also came up out of the canyon where we topped out. Little did we know the wind had caused a 100,000-volt wire.to wrap around a guide wire on the pole nearby. I reached up and touched the guide wire. They estimated I took 50,000 volts in three seconds.
But I have never been turned on over any woman like that before or since,
We had a mountain cattle farm. It was idyllic. Just me an my wife. We brought them down for the winter. There was a sudden ice storm, they stampeded for the byre, and killed her.
Thanks—it also prevents me from going all pedant on you and telling you exactly how un-Vietnamese these names are. Kao? Seriously?
Acknowledged and duly chastened. I confess that it was so old and I was so young when I heard it that I didn't stop to think about it - should have done, of course (at school, 1960s).
No. Sorry @Priscilla IMHO that's rather good. Unless you really object (with reasons) I might keep it, to savour and perhaps use at an appropriate moment. Certainly, it doesn't qualify as a bad joke.

That man is a bit overweight, for a doctor, isn't he?
Well, it goes with his specialism.
What's that?
He's a pie-dietrician.
All my own work. All right, I'll get my coat.

I think Mousethief may have misspelled the word. I think it should be Estelle. I believe the region is known for its mineral water.
I literally explained my bad joke four and a half hours before you posted this.

At Sundae School!
YES fantastic
I loved her till the cows came home.
Sounds fortunate to me!
@Trudy has already made that request, "please let's keep to Bad Jokes that aren't Rude Jokes; the latter are not for everyone and may harsh the vibe (as the young folks used to say, some years ago)."

The barman looked at them all and said, “Is this some kind of joke?”

His bark was much worse than his bite.
A. C’est manifique, mais c’est ne pas Daguerre!
Did you hear about the piano-playing dog?
His Bach was much worse than his Bite-hoven
"No."
"Oh, then why he is spreading mustard on my leg?"
I've never known anyone I've told it to laugh at it
I did literally laugh out loud when I read that, I thought it was brilliant !
It is brilliant though it assumes quite a lot of knowledge - not too long ago it would have gone entirely over my head.
A shoe.
Has anyone tried using WD40 to get rid of mice?
It doesn’t work but it does stop them squeaking.
That one made me laugh! Thanks.
Was it Barry Cryer (?) who said, "People used to laugh at me when I told them I wanted to be a comedian. Well, their not laughing now!"
I read that and thought, "Boris..."
Yul never wore cologne.
(A friend in church is responsible for these!)
Oh, that is bad ....
Have we had the modern worship song, "I will make you vicious old men"?
Apologies if we have ....
I ordered 4 Kindles from Amazon and was surprised to be sent a dvd of The Two Ronnies.
Was the supplier South African by any chance?
What do metallurgists do when they run out of bad jokes?
They zinc up some new ones!
For years the only knowledge I had of that song was its inclusion, the football supporters singing it, in the Pink Floyd song "Fearless."
It took me a couple of tries to get that. Yes - truly a bad joke.
