Well, mainly because their bodies are smaller anyway, and large feet on them would just look ridiculous.

Why did the one-armed man cross the road?

After spending years living away from the mainstream, ashamed of his disability and unable to lift the heavier boxes of washing powder in sainsburys, he decided that he shouldn't hide away because, hey, he's human too, and they sell those handy small pack of Ariel now. He crossed the road to reach the supermarket, and unwittingly to get run over by some drugged up carnival workers drunk on vodka and imitation red bull.

Q Where are the Andes?

A One of the great natural features of the globe, the Andes extend north-south about 5,500 mi (8,850 km) in W S America. They run parallel to the Caribbean coast in Venezuela before turning southwest and entering Colombia. There they form three distinct massifs: the Cordilleras Oriental, Central, and Occidental. In Ecuador they form two parallel cordilleras, one facing the Pacific and the other descending toward the Amazon basin. These ranges continue southward into Peru; the highest Peruvian peak is Mt. HuascarĂ¡n, at 22,205 ft (6,768 m), in the Cordillera Blanca. In Bolivia, the Andes again form two distinct regions; between them lies the Altiplano. Along the Chile-Argentina border, they form a complex chain that includes their highest peak, Mt. Aconcagua. In S Chile part of the cordillera descends beneath the sea, forming innumerable islands. The Andes are studded with numerous volcanoes that form part of the Ring of Fire. They also are the source of many rivers, incl. the Orinoco, Amazon, and Pilcomayo.

Why wasn't Christ born in Liverpool?
Because at the time, there was no such area as Liverpool. Also, the Holy Land is clearly stated to be in the Middle East, and so the birth of our Saviour in Northern England would have been ridiculous.

A man goes to the doctors with cling film wrapped around his genitals.

"Well" says the doctor "It's obvious that you have a fetishistic desire to expose yourself in public, let me refer you to a psychiatrist"

Have you heard about the man with the wooden leg called Smith?
Yes, as a matter of fact I have and it's a real credit to him that he lives a full and active life in spite of his disability.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks 'why the long - ' when the excitable runaway rears up on its hind legs and kicks him in the mouth, resulting in terrible injuries which impair his ability to speak.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

I refuse to answer this specious question. It is structured and not freeform and is therefore worthless. Was it blowing a sopranino bullroarer on its way across, to be met by the plangent arco bass of William Parker, shortly to be joined by Tristan Honsinger's mercurial cello?

This joke is overly facetious. Do not furnish me with levity without proper proof of its purpose.

There was an Englishman. There was a Scotsman. There was an Irishman.

Pete walked into the room. Pete pulled his trigger. Pete split all their skulls. Pete played dominoes with their teeth.

I'd just like to point out that "Why did the chicken cross the road" IS one of these jokes. The whole point is that you expect a "joke" punchline when it really just has a common-sense answer - "to get to the other side."

Why are there no good jokes about Jonestown?

It's really not appropriate to joke about it. It was a terrible tragedy. Hundreds of people died, many of them children.

Q: How many lesbians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: It would depend on a number of variables: the height of the light socket, the stability of any ladders used, the procurement of any necessary permits, compliance with union regulations and whether one counts the labor involved in the production of the bulb and light fixture. The gender and sexuality of the participants, however, are irrelevant.

Q: How many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

How about some funny alternate endings to classic jokes. Everyone knows that the popular Pirate movie last year was actually rated PG-13.

Q: Did you hear about the drummer who locked his keys in his car?
A: Fortunately, he was living in his van at the time.

Okay, that's not very funny, but you see where I'm going with this.

A woman goes to the grocery store, picks up some items, and goes to the register to make her purchases. She buys one TV dinner, one can of soda, one candy bar, and a pint of ice cream. As the cashier scans the groceries, he remarks "you must be single!". The woman asks him how he knew. The cashier replies, "well, you are clearly only purchasing groceries for one individual; I assume that if you were in a relationship you would have adjusted your grocery shopping to include purchasing items for your partner".

David Beckham is rummaging through his Xmas presents when he finds a curiously-shaped flask. He goes to Posh and asks her "What's this?" She says, "It's a Thermos flask, I got it for you to take to training. It keeps cold things cold and hot things hot."

David agrees that this would be a very useful addition to his kit, and duly takes it to training the next day. "What's that, David?" asks his coach. "You've never brought one of those in before."

"It's a Thermos flask, boss", he replies. "It keeps cold things cold and hot things hot."

"So what have you got in there?"

"Oh, some coffee."
