What do you get when you cross a tabby cat with a lemon tree?
A sour puss.

My favorite mythical creature? The honest politician.

Symbol, cymbal, but who's counting?

What did Betula pendula say to her super-annoying sister?
Leaf me alone, birch!

Did you know that I can cut down a dead tree just by looking at it?
It’s true. I saw it with my own eyes!

I don't think he is, Christmas Cracker jokes are sometime funny.

Sorry John

Another one for USA readers...

It was a celebratory mood with the boys at NASA; they had just made the scientific achievement of a lifetime.
As they were uncorking a bottle of champagne, Dr. Lowenstein, the head scientist at NASA, asked everyone to be quiet as he had received a congratulatory phone call from the President of the United States.
He picked up a special red phone, and spoke into it.
"Mr. President," said Dr. Lowenstein, grinning broadly, "after twelve years of hard research and billions of dollars spent, we have finally found intelligent life on Mars."
He listened for a second, and his smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a frown.
He said, "But that’s impossible... we could never do it. Yes Mr. President,” and hung up the phone.
He addressed the crowd of scientists staring at him curiously.
"I have some bad news," he said, "the President said that now that we’ve found intelligent life on Mars... he wants us to try to find it in Congress."

These jokes seem to be reaching rock bottom now. Aren't they supposed to be your FAVOURITE jokes, not just copied out of some kid's comic book or swept up after the crackers are pulled?

In an effort to get things back on track, I will offer this even though it's not a joke per se. But maybe it will spawn something joke wise....

This Experiment With Monkeys And A Ladder Will Teach You An Important Life Lesson

A group of scientists placed five monkeys in a cage and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on top.

Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water.

After a while, every time a monkey went up the ladder, the other ones beat up the one on the ladder.

After some time, no monkey dared to go up the ladder regardless of temptation.

Scientists then decided to substitute one of the monkeys. The first thing the new monkey did was go up the ladder. Immediately the other monkeys beat him up. After several beatings, the new monkey learned not to climb the ladder even though never knowing why.

A second monkey was substituted and the same result occurred. The first monkey participated in the beating of the second monkey. A third monkey was substituted and the same was repeated. The fourth was the same and finally the fifth monkey was replaced.

What was left was a group of five monkeys that even though they never received a cold shower, continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.

If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they would beat up all those who attempted to go up the ladder, I bet their answer would be:

"I don't know. That's just how things are done around here."

CONCLUSION:

Don't follow others behavior. Think before you follow.

This is a joke?

Humor depends on which side of the joke you are? My first thought was to send it to a member of the opposing political party with the suggestion that he FW to all his friends, but I suppose they wouldn't consider that funny even though I do.

I missed it. It wasn't a video, by any chance, was it, featuring people in dark clothing?
