How can you tell if there's an elephant in your fridge?
- Well even a small elephant's going to be what at least 50% larger in volume than a very large fridge, so there's no way you'd miss it, after all the fridge would be in pieces on your kitchen floor. plus the elephant would be startled, hence noisy, from being pushed (i must assume) into a fridge that's obviously smaller than it. In fact, in what sense could an elephant actually be said to be in your fridge. you've not thought this one through have you?

This one is from Alan "Mitsubishi" Kelly, a boy who was in my class in secondary school: - Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get away from the terrible joke! He found this the funniest thing in the world, and would repeat it many times if we were unlucky enough to sit next to him during lunch. Later he sat on a drawing pin that someone deliberately left on his seat, and went into hysterics believing that he had contracted AIDS. But that's not really important. Also, going back to the "Jamaica" joke at the top of this thread, there was a great variation on this in an episode of Dangermouse. Dangermouse and Penfold are travelling through Europe on the Orient Express: Dangermouse: Genoa, Penfold.
Penfold: No, chief, she went of her own accord.
Dangermouse: (tuts) No, Penfold, that's *Jamaica*.

What's black and white and red all over? Well, simply, it's an impossibility.

A guy was driving through the countryside one evening and his car stalled. The only building around for miles was a monastery, so he went inside and asked the head monk if he could stay the night.

So he shrugged and asked for a nickel to call a tow truck.

A man walks into a bar with his pet alligator. After a brief argument with the bartender about bringing pets into his establishment, he makes a bet with everyone at the bar that he can safely put his genitals in the alligator's mouth. After another argument about the state's obscenity laws, several people take him up on his bet. He drops trou, the alligator opens its mouth, and the man places is manhood inside. Suddenly, the alligator slams its jaw shut, severing the man's penis. The man falls to the ground whimpering in pain and, while the bartender frantically dials 911 and a nearby patron valiantly applies direct pressure, the rest of the patrons point and laugh, shouting, "PAY UP, DUMBASS!"

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. Huascarán, 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.

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.

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".

Why did Bill Clinton give up playing the saxophone?

He still does it as an occasional pastime, but lately he has been dedicating great amounts of his time to the presidential campaign of his wife, Hilary, which is now in the starting stages of primary elections and caucuses. Since playing the saxophone on a late night talk show would not lend his wife the same cachet as it did in 1991 when he played it on the Arsenio Hall show to boost his public image before the elections, he has not played it in quite some time, though it waits for him in its case with a fresh set of reeds.

A man went into a pub with a box under his arm. He approached the bar and said to the landlord "I'm sorry, mate, I haven't got any money on me, but I've got something amazing in this box. If I show it to you, will you give me a pint?". "Well, it better be really amazing," the landlord replies. The bloke opens up the box to reveal a tiny man, exactly one foot high, sat playing some highly intricate music on a miniature grand piano. "That's fucking incredible," says the landlord, "let me buy you a drink."

So he gives him a pint and they get talking. The landlord asks him how he came by this miniature pianist and the man tells him that a genie granted his wish. He produces an old lamp from his pocket and says "rub this and whisper your wish into the lamp and you'll get what you desire, too." So the landlord takes the lamp, rubs it, whispers inside and suddenly the pub is filled with a million ducks. "Brilliant," says the landlord, "that's exactly what I wanted." "Yep, me too," replies the man, "I'm certainly delighted to have this one-foot-tall piano player."

So there's this penguin driving through Death Valley and it's a really hot day - and that's bad news for a penguin. So, the penguin is driving and saying "sheesh" a lot and wiping his brow with his flipper when the car starts acting up! Bumpity bumpity bump... "Oh great," thinks the penguin.

To his relief, there is a service station not too far ahead. He drives in, parks his car, hops out, and waddles over to the mechanic. "Can you have a look at my car, mac?" asks the penguin. "It's making a funny noise." "Sure," says the mechanic. "Sheesh," thinks the penguin. "It's so hot! I think I'll go inside to keep cool for a while."

So he waddles over and goes inside. He mooches around, flicking through magazines, killing time. He decides he'll buy an ice cream to help him cool down. Then he goes back outside to assess the car. "Sheesh," he says as he waddles back over the tarmac. "It's really hot." He's making a real mess of the ice cream, on account of it being so hot and him being a penguin and only being able to hold it with his flipper. He spills more of it on himself than he gets inside his mouth.

He makes his way back to the car and comes up to the mechanic who's leaning over the engine and frowning. The mechanic looks up at him and says, "Hmm, it looks like your catalytic converter has failed." "Aw geez," says the penguin, "I just had the damn thing replaced about a year ago."

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I hovered."

Once upon a time, a young man went to the circus. He was very excited, as he lived in western Manitoba and had never seen a circus before; the kind of town where you shave and the trolly stops. Anyway, as circus days drew nigh, the young man grew ever more excited. He arrived before dawn to get the best seat in the house, and was seated hours before the first trapeze act.

Finally, the trapeze artists gave an awe-inspiring performance, the elephants danced, and the lion tamer tamed. At last, the clowns came out in full regalia and green hair. They rode around by the gross in a purple volkswagon. The volksie pulled up to center of the ring, and an overweight clown with orange hair, acne, and a purple nose advanced to the podium:

"Will the person in section A, row Y, seat 42 please stand up?"

The young man looked at his ticket, and to his surprise, he was sitting in that very seat. The young man stood up.

Clown sez, "Wellllll, there's the horse's ass, now where's the rest of the horse?"

The man, dumbfounded, stood for a moment, then made his way quickly through crowd and out of the tent. Returning home, the man wept for days, and mourned the loss of dignity and honor. Eventually reason overcame his grief and the man grew determined. "I'm not going to get mad, I'm going to get even, and avenge the honor of myself, my family, and this town," exclaimed the man. He picked up the curriculum guide for the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV) correspondence courses and started to read.

Eventually his eyes came to rest on an advert for a class in "Quick Wit Retort." "Learn how to use those snappy comebacks to your advantage, now!" So the man sent in his $19.95 and soon received the course materials. In a few weeks, the man mastered the materials, and sent the final back to UNLV.

Much to his surprise, a registered letter arrived from the president of UNLV. It read:

Dear Sir: We are utterly flabbergasted at your performance in Quick Wit Retort 101. We would be most gratified if you could come to UNLV to complete your degree with our fine academic institution. Here's a check to cover your expenses.

To make a long story short , the man made straight A's in the QWR program. He was awarded numerous distinctions, and when he graduated, the graduation speaker Ed Meese awarded the man the Presidential Medal of Outstanding Quick Wit Retort, signed by Ronnie himself!

Some days afterward, Harvard University sent a lear-jet to pick the man up for an interview. The graduate admissions officer didn't mince words. "If you complete our masters/doctoral tenured track program in QWR, you will never have to worry about money again," said he. Needless to say, the man promptly moved to Cambridge.

In 5 years, the man had finished his doctorate. By this time, the man was known throughout the world as the leading expert in Quick Wit Retort. Word had even reached western Manitoba, which made his mother very proud. Everyone from Pentagon pundits to Beltway bandits consulted the man on technical questions of QWR.

One day, while sitting at his desk reading his hometown newspaper, the man noticed that the circus was coming to his hometown again. An evil smile crossed the man's face. "Siegfried," cried the man to his assistant, "We must be away to Manitoba. Ready the jet!" As the plane crossed the downlands of Michigan, the man savored the moment of victory that was to be his.

The man arrived at the circus tent very early, making sure to get the seat in section A, row Y, seat 42.

Finally, the trapeze artists gave an awe-inspiring performance, the elephants danced, and the lion tamer tamed. At last, the clowns came out in full regalia and green hair. They rode around by the gross in a purple volkswagon. The volksie pulled up to center of the ring, and an overweight clown with orange hair, acne, and a purple nose advanced to the podium:

"Will the person in section A, row Y, seat 42 please stand up?"

The man glanced at his ticket. This time he was ready.

Clown sez, "Wellllll, there's the horse's ass, now where's the rest of the horse?"

The man rose to his feet, full of confidence. He thrust out his chest and said in the loudest voice you can imagine:

YOUR MEAN-SPIRITED, CRASS REMARKS ARE WHOLLY OUT OF PLACE IN WHAT SHOULD BE A LIGHTHEARTED, FAMILY-FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE!!! MAY I PLEASE HAVE A WORD YOUR SUPERVISOR?

A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender: "Wanna hear a blonde joke?"

In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says: "Before you tell that joke, you should know something. Our bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2'', weighs 225, and he's a rugby player. The fella to your right is 6'5'' pushing 300 and he's a wrestler. Each one of us is blonde. Think about it, mister. Do you still want to tell that joke?"

The blind guy says: "No, I suppose that would be unwise".

A man walks into a bar with a paper bag. He sits down and places the bag on the counter. The bartender walks up and says, “Hey, what's in the bag?”

So, the man reaches into the bag and pulls out a little man, all of about maybe 12 inches tall, and he sets him on the counter.

He reaches back into the bag and pulls out a small piano. Then he reaches into the bag pulls out a tiny piano bench.

The little man sits down at the piano and starts playing a beautiful piece by Mozart.

"Where on earth did you get that?", the bartender asks.

The man responds by reaching into the paper bag and pulling out what looks like a little genie lamp. He hands it to the bartender and says, "Here, rub it."

So the bartender rubs the lamp, and suddenly there's a puff of smoke and a genie magically appears and says, "I will grant you one wish, just one."

The bartender gets really excited, and without hesitating, he says, "I wish I had a million bucks !"

A few moments later, a duck walks into the bar, and then another duck, and then another. Pretty soon, the entire bar is filled with ducks and they keep coming!

The bartender turns to the man and says, "Y'know, I think your genie's a little hard of hearing. I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!"

To which the man answers "You're right, he should really get that checked out"

Because 6 had strong romantic feelings for 7 but subconsciously wondered if he wasn't good enough for her and how he could make the relationship work on his salary and how her kids from a previous relationship would receive him
