So, as we know, there's one racist joke that's acceptable. It usually goes like this:

 

"How do all racist jokes begin? "

 

The person saying it looks around as though they were checking if it's safe or if someone from the group they're joking about are in ear shot.

 

Yes, that's the joke. All you do is look around suspiciously. 

 

I told this to a bunch of friends who were visiting from the states. Before I could do the looking around part...

 

One said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, Earl Grey! A racist joke! I didn't know that minorities told racist jokes too!"

 

I told them, "Oh, we do, but the thing is, if someone hears it, the people they'll suspect and get mad at are you guys, not me." 

 

 

When I would tell the Aboriginals racist jokes they would interrupt me and pre empt the ending with one MUCH WORSE (about them ) than the ending I was approaching ! 

 

Some , to me, seem fun and innocent though ....  

 

Teacher to little Aboriginal boy;   "   Jackie , how do you spell elephant ? "

 

" Ooooo errrmmm  .....  e  ...  l  ... e   ..  ?  ... f     ... ummmm   u  ... n  ... t  !   ....  Elephant ! "

 

" No Jackie, thats not right . "

 

" Yes Miss , its right . "

 

" No . I said it ISNT right ! "

 

" And I am saying it IS ."

 

" Why are you arguing with me and saying its right when I clearly told you it isnt  ? "

 

" Because  you asked me how   I    spell it  . "

Who makes dessert in Burger King´s family?

 

Dairy Queen

[moment]

An elderly couple goes to Burger King and shares their fries and burger. A trucker sitting next to them offers to pay for the old lady. "It's all right," says the old man. "We always share everything." On seeing that the old lady has not eaten anything, the trucker once again makes an offer. The old man once again assures the trucker to stay calm and resumes eating. Finally, the trucker asks the lady about not eating anything. The old lady replies, " I am waiting for the teeth."

How do you know when it is an anorexic bachelor party?

 

When the cake jumps out of the girl instead.

New Years resolution:

 

[moment]

A burglar is creeping into a house and he hears a voice "Jesus does not like burglars", startled the burglar says "who is that" and shines his light into the corner of the room.  There on his perch sits a parrot.  The burglar says " oh, you are just a parrot".  The parrot says " Yes, and my name is Moses".  The burglar retorts " What kind of people name a parrot Moses"?  The parrot responds rather smugly " The same kind of people who name a 150 pound Rottweiler Jesus".

I was listening to a Tara Brach podcast.  She had 2 funny jokes on it.  Lets see if I remember them.

 

 A man walks into a bakery and starts screaming at the baker.  'We ordered a cake to celebrate our store's new bigger location and instead got a cake saying 'Rest in Peace'''.  The baker thought about it and said 'I'm sorry but that's better then the cake we sent to the funeral parlor.  It said 'Congratulation on your New Location'.

 

rats can't remember the 1st one. 

 

got it.  A father who wasn't too tech savvy noticed his son ended a text to him with LOL.  He immediately thought it meant Lots of Love.  He thought what a great sentiment and from then on ended all his texts with LOL.  The man's sister was going through a divorce, he sent her a text, 'We support you in this difficult time, LOL'.  He texted a sick friend, 'Hope you feel better, LOL'.  He did this for a year, and wondered why people rarely texted him back.

the consummate erudite that hearkened the ushering in of the renaissance, Rabelais, that good doctor told us then that laughter is the best medicine. he also cleverly and covertly in the marrow--repeated the inscription of the Seven Sages who gathered at Delphi, thus laying the foundation for western civilization, and culture, and they inscribed Know Thyself on the forecourt of temple of appollo that one must pass under before entering the sacred to meet with the oracle.

this world has a way of stressing us out from time to time, no? lately laughter has been hard to come by my way. however, finding this thread still active these years later makes me smile. thank you good bums for sharing the good medicine!

I will scroll up and take the prescription.

I raise my wine glass (red solo cup)and  toast to twenty twenty, may we all laugh a little healthier this year,,,

Not aimed at anyone (seriously) but I thought it was funny.

 

[Nungali]

During a large  Communist party political conference, there is only a single room still available at the only hotel in town. Four strangers are put into the room. Three of them soon open a bottle of vodka and proceed to get acquainted, then drunk, then noisy, singing, and telling political jokes about their leaders. The fourth man desperately tries to get some sleep; finally, in frustration, he surreptitiously leaves the room, goes downstairs, and asks the lady concierge to bring tea to Room 67 in ten minutes. Then he returns and joins the party. Five minutes later, he bends to a power outlet: "Comrade Major, some tea to Room 67, please." In a few minutes, there's a knock at the door, and in comes the lady concierge with a tea tray. The room falls silent; the party dies a sudden death, and the prankster finally gets to sleep.

 

The next morning he wakes up alone in the room. Surprised, he runs downstairs and asks the concierge what happened to his companions. "You don't need to know!" she answers. "B-but...but what about me?" asks the terrified fellow. 'Oh, you...well...Comrade Major liked your tea gag a lot."

I was raised as an only child – which really annoyed my sister.

 

I told a girl she had drawn her eyebrows on too high. She looked surprised

 

I ’m not being condescending. I’m too busy thinking about far more important things you wouldn’t understand.

 

So she phones me last night, and says “Come on over, no one’s home!” I got there, and there was no one home

 

I organized a threesome last night. There were a few no-shows, but I still had fun.

 

My wife asked me why I was speaking so softly at home. I told her I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg was listening! She laughed. I laughed. Alexa laughed. Siri laughed.

I once comforted a very depressed man. He told me nobody took his work seriously. He then explained he was a clown.

 

I thought that would be the end of the joke. Then it turned out he was a therapy clown for children with cancer in a hospital.

 

In the course of a few details, I felt like a complete jerk going back and forth between empathizing with a guy to laughing at him for being a clown to crying when I realized he tried to make dying kids laugh and feel love and joy.

 

So then I’m asking why nobody takes a guy who does so much good doesn’t get taken seriously.

 

He says, “Oh, I get respect for helping the children. That’s never been an issue. The problem is that they brought in a TV to the ward and some idiot turned the channel to Fox News and Donald Trump as president, and suddenly, nothing else is funny to them.”
