Whats Your Favorite Joke? (Please don't report bad jokes)

There should be a law against even mentioning anything to do with Christmas before December 1....every year the decorations seem to go up earlier, every year the supermarket starts selling Christmas stuff earlier....bah...HUMBU​G!

Or is it possible that only grumpy old spooks think this way?

I agree...
We've had some stores selling Christmas stuff since September.
They reckon it's because of customer demand.
Garbage...leave it until the middle of November and the customer will still demand it then.

My Kids were absolutely sure there was a Santa. "You can't afford all this stuff, dad."

They were right of course.

But, of course, both Visa and Master Card insist you can.

Yes, we do!

from Annie Hall -


This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" And the guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs."

It's true what Ricardo says. The day after Halloween I saw an advertisement billboard for Disney's Christmas motif in Disneyland, saying it would start in 1 week...

The ONLY thing I wish would come earlier are the Peppermint Mocha's from Starbucks

before I was born I was given a choice, I could go through life with a brilliant memory, or I could be an excellent lover, so after some thought I ............ no I forgot what I was saying now ..........

A married couple went to the hospital together to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it.

The doctor set the knob to 10 percent for starters, explaining that even 10 percent was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. But as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine, so he asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20 percent pain transfer.

The husband was still feeling fine.

The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and pulse and was amazed at how well he was doing.
At this, they decided to try for 50 percent. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since it was obviously helping out his wife considerably, he encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him.

The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic.

When they got home, the mailman was dead on their porch.

And we wonder why the mail is always late.

A friend of mine said he had the complete Qur'an on DVD, I asked him to burn me a copy ....... that is when it all kicked off.

I just copied your joke to a philosophy forum discussing Muslim "behavior".
