    This is too good for a bad jokes thread.

    I was just about to say the same thing — this one genuinely made me laugh instead of groan.

  • America can't move from pounds to kilograms.

    It would cause mass confusion.


  • Well that's a weight off my mind.
  • EnochEnoch Shipmate
    Yep. The last two about the pearly gates and kilograms definitely have that essential groan quality to qualify. So does @mousethief's response. Thank you.

  • Is it possible to move gradually by a matter of degrees between Fahrenheit and Celsius?
  • Did you hear the joke Zelensky told to David Letterman?

    Two men meet on the streets of the streets of Kiev
    The one asks the other: "How goes the war?"
    The other says: "The Russians think they are fighting NATO. So far the Russians have lost 70,000 personnel; lots of their equipment is destroyed, and they are running out of ammo."
    The first asks: "And how is NATO doing?"
    The second one replies: "NATO has yet to arrive."

    {To be told in a Yiddish accent.)

    Countryside - killing Piers Morgan.
    That's far too good to count as a bad joke. The urologist one though IMHO does count.

  • Father Christmas was in a stinking mood. He'd caught the Reindeer smoking weed, had it pointed out that they had to be able to fly somehow, found the elves hadn't mucked out the stable so had to do it himself, and had a rotten cold.

    Just as he came out of the stable stinking of muck and his face a mess of snot and filth a fairy appeared and said "I've decorated everywhere with Christmas Trees but I've got one left. What should I do with it?"

    And that is the origin of the fairy on the top of the Christmas Tree.

    Note: In Spanish 'soy' means 'I am'.
