A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?"

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
"I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes" replies Watson.
"And what do you deduce from that?"
Watson ponders for a minute.
"Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?"
Holmes is silent for a moment. "Watson, you idiot!" he says. "Someone has stolen our tent!"

And finally

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 C. The Russians used a pencil.

An Mans been drinking at a pub all night. The bartender finally says that the bar is closing. So the man stands up to leave and falls flat on his face. He tries to stand one more time, same result. He figures he'll crawl outside and get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up.

Once outside he stands up and falls flat on his face. So he decides to crawl the 4 blocks to his home and when he arrives at the door, he stands up and falls flat on his face. He crawls through the door into his bedroom. When he reaches his bed he tries one more time to stand up. This time he manages to pull himself upright but he quickly falls right into bed and is sound asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.

He awakens the next morning to his wife standing over him shouting at him. "So, you've been out drinking again!!"

"What makes you say that?" He asks as he puts on an innocent look.

"The pub called, you left your wheelchair there again."

So three ducks enter a bar. The bartender asks the first one what his name is and how he is doing. "I'm Huey, and I've been going in and out of puddles all day! What more could a duck want?" So the bartender walks up to the second duck and asks again. "I'm Dewey, and I've been going in and out of puddles all day! What more could a duck want?" So the bartender catches on and walks up to the third duck and says "You must be Loui!" - "No. I'm Puddles."

An eighty-year old man is at the doctor. He is excitedly telling the doctor about a child his young wife just had. "I've still got it," the old man smirks.

The doctor looks at the poor chap. "Let me tell you a story. A hunter was once in a hurry. When he left his cabin, he grapped his umbrella instead of his gun! Well, he quickly realised his mistake, but as he was going back to the cabin, he came upon a bear. As the bear charged him, he held up his umbrella and squeezed the handle. Amazingly, the bear fell dead!"

"That's impossible!" The old man exclaimed. "Someone else must have shot that bear!"

"That's kind of what I'm getting at..."

Two vampire bats are trying to hibernate in their cave. One is restless, says to the other, "I've just got to have some blood."

The other replies, "I'm hungry too, but it's the middle of winter, and there are no animals around to feed from. You're better off staying here and conserving your energy."

The other falls silent, but after a while says "I just can't stand it anymore, I'm going to go out and look for something to eat, I don't care!" and flies out of the cave.

The other bat remains, but to his surprise his friend returns a short while later with blood dripping from his mouth.

"Where did you find that blood?!" the first bat exclaims.

"Come with me," his friend replies, and together they fly from the cave.

Together they fly between rock and tree, meadow and creek, until they come to a dense part of the inner forest, and the source of the blood.

The first bat says to his friend, "Now, do you see that tree right there?"

"Yes," he replies.

"Well," he says, "I didn't."

There was three men that went to a group suppourt. One man was an acholic, one man was a chain smoker, and one man was gay. They all swore to stop doing what they were doing, and will help suppourt each other. The shrink told the each of the three men that if they don't stop their habits, they will die.

So the three men went for a walk, and the acholic told the smoker and the gay man that he wanted to take one last shot of whiskey. So they went to a bar, and the acholic drank his shot of whiskey and the next moment the acholic was dead.

The gay man and the smoker quickly left the bar. And the went out for a walk, forgeting about the dead acholic. Suddenly the smoker saw a weed and the ground and decided to bend over to pick it up.

The gay man, who was behind the smoker, said, "If you bend over and pick up that weed, we both are going to die!"

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.” The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

ok...
a man just moved into a new town and went to find the local pub. He finally found it, entered and made his way towards the bar. He asked nicely for three seperate pints of beer, the bar tender complied with an odd look on his face, but buisness was buisness. So the man made it a point and did this ritual every day, and he became more friendly and known with the people after every visit. Then one day his new friends asked "hey connor, why do you get three pints every day". "Well you see, it was a tradition for me an my two brothers every day to get a pint and drink it with eachother, they still live in ireland"
so the mans oddity became something of respect until one day...
connor only ordered 2 pints of beer and everyone in the bar came up and were saying how sorry they were for his brothers death. Connor just looked at everyone and said "oo no no, my brother didnt die, i just gave up drinking"

Once, a long time ago, a small monestary was in
debt, and was about to be closed down.
The friars then decided to open a flower shop.

Everybody loved buying the judiciously priced
flowers from the friendly friars.

One by one, all of the other flower shops closed
down until only one other remained.
The owner begged the friars to close down their
shop, for he would soon go out of business.

The friars explained to him that this money would
help the poor, and that as friars, they could
not close down this shop; they were doing the
Lord's work.

The man went back to his shop, and asked his
dying mother to go to the friar's shop and beg
for them to close it down.

Once again, the friars turned them down.

Finally, the owner of the rival shop hired Hugh,
the meanest, toughest, and most criminally-
inclined man in the town, to beat up the friars.

Hugh went to the shop and left it in ruins,
telling them "Next time you won't be so lucky!"
and the friars closed it down.

This proves that Hugh, and only Hugh can prevent
florist friars.

A frog goes into a bank and he wants to borrow some money. He sits down at he desk of one Patricia Wack and proceeds to fill out the paperwork. She looks it over and says "Ok, Mr. Frog, the paperwork is in order but what do you have to give as collateral on this loan?" The frog whips out a glass bell from his extensive collection of glass bells and says "This glass bell has been sitting on my shelf for a long time and I think it will do." Ms. Wack stares at it and says "I am going to have to check with my manager on this one."

She walk into the manager's office, puts the bell on his desk and shows him the Frog's paperwork. The manager snorts, nods his head and says "It's a knick-knack, Patty Wack, give the frog a loan".

So bad it is memorable.

I don’t get the llama joke...

Anyways,


This man is traveling through china on his pilgrimage, and every night he stays in a different house, and the residents allow him free board because he is on a holy voyage.

One day, the man arrives at a house shortly before dusk, and asks the resident, a monk, if he can stay the night. The monk says of course, but he must not touch the plum tree in his courtyard, and if he does, he will undergo the three forms of Chinese torture. The man says all right and goes upstairs and looks outside the window next to his bed and sees a plum tree sitting in an ornate square in the middle of a courtyard. He pays no mind to it because he has seen thousands of plum trees in his months of traveling. He lies down on his bed, and immediately falls asleep.

That night, as the moon shines in through his window, it wakes him up, and he cannot get back to sleep. He looks outside at the plum tree and begins to wonder about its significance, and why the monk was so protective of it. He heads down into the courtyard and meditates on the subject, but cannot reach an answer, still curious, he heads upstairs and goes to sleep.

The next morning, as he thanks the monk and leaves, he gets one last glance of the plum tree. Walking away, he wonders once again about the tree. That day, as he is traveling along the river, and has not seen any houses for quite a while, he comes to the bridge he planned to cross, but it has been washed out due to the monsoon season. Already workers are constructing a makeshift bridge, but it will not be ready till the next day. Sighing resignedly, he heads back to he monk's house and asks if he can stay the night, the monk says of course, but you must not touch the plum tree or... "I know" says the man, tired and sore, and thanks the monk and goes upstairs to sleep.

Once again he is woken by the moonlight, and once again is overcome by curiosity, and heads down to the courtyard. This time, however he has had a days walk to think about the tree and cannot resist grabbing a plum and eating it. Looking around, and seeing no movement, he spits out the pit, disappointed. It tasted no different than any other plum he had ever had. Dejected, he heads upstairs and falls asleep.

That morning, he wakes up to find a large rock on his chest, weighing about fifteen pounds with a card stating CHINESE TORTURE #1: Large Rock on Chest. Thinking that isn’t too bad he uses all his strength to push the rock out the window, and as he does he sees another card on the windowsill stating CHINESE TORTURE #2: Rock Tied to Left Nut. Panicking, the man leaps out the window after the rock, and as he falls he sees another card on the ground, CHINESE TORTURE #3:Right Nut Tied to Bedpost.

Llama joke: try substituting "Be where" for "Beware".

*

In a hospital waiting room, four expectant fathers waited while their wives were in labor. The nurse arrived and announced to the first man, "Congratulations sir, you're the father of twins."

"What a coincidence," the man said with some obvious pride. "I work for the Minnesota Twins baseball team."

In a little while, the nurse returned and turned to the second man. "Your wife just had beautiful triplets."

"That's an incredible coincidence," he answered. "I work for the 3M Corporation. My buddies at work will never let me live this one down."

An hour later, while the other two men were passing cigars around, the nurse came back. This time she turned to the third man, announcing that his wife had just given birth to quadruplets. "Is this another coincidence?" asked the nurse.

When he regained his composure, he shouted, "I don't believe it! I work for the Four Seasons Hotel!"

After hearing this, everyone's attention turned to the fourth guy, who had just fainted. The nurse rushed to his side and after some time, he regained consciousness. When he was finally able to speak, he was whispering the same phrase over and over again.

"I never should've taken that job at 31 Flavors... I never should've taken that job at 31 Flavors... I never should've taken that job at 31 Flavors..."

Ok ill try one.

Three guys were wandering through the South American jungle when they were captured by a tribe of cannibals. They told the men that if they wanted to live, they must go into the woods and bring back 10 of any fruit they wish. The men looking around, noticed all the many fruits in the jungle, and thought to them selves "HELL YEAH", and went out to collect their fruit.

The first man came back about 10 minutes later carrying 10 apples. The cannibals then told him that if he wanted to live he must take those 10 fruit and stuff them in his a**, and if he made one gesture, no matter what kind, they would kill him. If not, he could go free.

So the man dropped his pants and proceeded to do the task in which he was assigned.
1...2......3......4...5...6, then the man screamed out in pain and the cannibals killed him and ate him.

The second man came back a few minutes later, this time with 10 berries. The cannibals told him he had the same offer, and so he accepted. He bent over an began his task 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9...and the man broke out in a hysterical laughter, and the cannibals killed him and ate him.


Moments later, in heaven, the first guy was talking to the second guy, and asked "you were doing so well, why did you laugh?"

To this the second guy answered "well as I was bent over I noticed the other guy with his fruit"

First guy: "yeah but why did you start to laugh?"
Second Guy: "well he was carrying pineapples"

There are approximately two billion children (people under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist (except maybe in Japan) religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the population reference bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming there is at least one good child in each.

Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stocking, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get onto the next house.

Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks.

This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second--3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour.

The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized LEGO set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousands tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the "flying" reindeer can pull 10 times the normal amount, the job can't be done with eight or even nine of them---Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch).

600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance--this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft reentering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would adsorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip.

Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s. in 001 seconds, would be subjected to acceleration forces of 17,000 g's. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo. Therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now.

this IS a joke...

Lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address:

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a

particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they

spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was

difficult to coordinate their travel plans. So, the husband left Minnesota

and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following

day. The husband checked

into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an

email to his wife.

However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and

without realizing his error, sent the email.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from

her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory

following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting

messages from relatives and friends.

After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow's

son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the

computer screen which read:

To: My loving wife

Subject: I've arrived Date: April 6, 2006

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here

now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just

arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared

for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your

journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S. sure is freaking hot down here!!!!!

Q. How much did the Pirate pay for his body piercings?

A. A buck an ear.


There was an indian tribe that had three squaws all expecting births around the same time. The first squaw went into labor and they had her give birth on a horsehide. She had a bouncing baby boy. Then the second squaw went into labor and gave birth upon a buffalo hide. She had a baby girl. The last squaw went into labor, and the tribe had no birthing hides left except for an old hippopotamus hide brought over by European explorers. The last squaw gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

So the moral to the story is:

The squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws on the other two hides.

A man opened a fruit stand in a market

One day a girl came and saw some bananas.

"How much are the bananas?"

"25 cents"

"Are they fresh?"

"Yes, yes, very fresh"

"Are they on sale?"

"Not today, maybe tomorrow"

The girl left. The next day a boy came. He saw some apples he liked.

"How much are the apples?"

"25 cents"

"Are they fresh?"

"Yes, yes, very fresh"

"Are they on sale?"

"Not today, maybe tomorrow"

The boy left. Later that night a robber came.

"Give me all your money!"

"25 cents"

"Are you trying to get fresh with me?"

"Yes, yes, very fresh"

"Do you want to die?"

"Not today, maybe tomorrow"

OK, this guy looking like a total pirate walks into a bar and orders a bite to eat. A man sitting next to him looks him up and down and notices that he has a peg leg, a hook for his right hand and an eye-patch.

"Wow" says the man, "You seem like you've been through a lot!"

"Aye, matey that I have." Said the pirate.

"How'd you get that peg leg?"

"On me maiden voyage we came across a viking vessel and it turned into a battle on the high seas. I fought the captain of the ship and ran him through, but not before he lopped of me leg with his ax!"

"Wow! How about that hook you got there?"

"On the first day of the seventh month we was ambushed by a spanish fleet. We fought brave and hard and prevailed, but I lost me hand to a spanish blade."

"Gosh! So... why do you wear an eye patch?"

The pirate kind of looks embaressed and mutters, "a parrot pooped in me eye."

"What? Are you telling me that you lost your eye to bird poop?

"... t'was me first day with the hook."

on the topic of pirates,

a pirate walks into a bar, with a ship's wheel as a belt buckle, and he is knocking everything over, and can barely get to the bar. When he sits down, the bartender asks him "why do you have that wheel on your belt? isnt it a hassle?", "Yargh" The pirate replies, "it drives me nuts"

I don't get this one either, if the second line is supposed to the punch line and not a request for an answer...

The duck one reminds me of a joke in our family we got from a joke book which had normally very funny jokes:
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Ginger.
Ginger who?
Ginger fall of a wall?

.

.
.
Yeah, I don't get it either.
Then of course there are the knock-knock jokes that you don't actually finish, you just crack up when the other person says "Doctor who?" or "Cthul who?". Probably rather irritating for the other person if they don't actually recognize the reference...

Sign seen in a butcher shop: "Please stop sitting on the meat grinder. We are getting a little behind in our orders."

"Horrible, worst day of my life!"

"What happened?" asked Laura.

"Well, on the third tee, Harold dropped dead of a heart attack!"

"Oh, no," said Laura, "Harold is dead? That's awful!"

"Oh, you don't know the half of it. The rest of the day it was hit the ball and drag Harold, hit the ball and drag Harold."

How many boring people does it take to change a light bulb?

Just one.

-

A string walks into a bar. The bartender glares at him and snarls, "You're a string, aren'tcha?" The string agrees that he is. "Well, we don't serve strings in here! Get out!" The string sadly heads for the door. As he leaves, he passes another string on his way in. "Don't bother," He says, "They don't serve strings." The entering string pauses, messes up his ends, hitches himself into a bowline, and proceeds into the bar. The bartender glares at him. "Hey, buddy, aren't you a string?" He snarls. "No," replies the string, "I'm a frayed knot."

-

A duck waddles into a bar, hops onto a stool, cocks his head at the bartender, and asks:

"Do you have any... Grapes?"

"Get outta here!" Snarls the bartender. (Lot of rude bartenders in these jokes.) "We don't serve ducks in this bar!"

The duck hops down to the floor, and waddles out.

The next night, the same duck waddles in, hops onto a stool, cocks his head at the bartender, and asks:

"Do you have any... Grapes?"

The bartender leans in until he's eye-to-eye with the duck, and growls "I don't like ducks. I don't serve ducks. And the next time you come here looking for grapes, I'm stapling your webbed feet to the floor!"

The duck hops down to the floor, and waddles out.

The next night, the same duck waddles in, hops onto a stool, cocks his head at the bartender, and asks:

"Do you have any... Staples?"

The bartender pauses, mouth open. Finally, he answers: "No, I don't have any staples."

"Then do you have any... Grapes?"

-

A bum walks into a bar and says to the bartender: "Hey, I love the world tonight! Get me a drink! Get everyone in the bar a drink! Get yourself a drink! Put it all on my tab."

The bartender shrugs and pours everyone in the bar a drink. As he finishes his drink, the bartender presents him the bill. The bum laughs and says "Heh! I haven't got any money!"

The bartender, enraged, grabs the bum by the scruff of the neck, slaps him around, and throws him bodily out of the bar.

The next night the same bum comes in with the same line: "Hey, I love the world tonight! Get me a drink! Get everyone in the bar a drink! Get yourself a drink! Put it all on my tab."

The bartender frowns, but finally decides the joker couldn't be so stupid as to pull the same stunt twice in a row, so he serves up the drinks. He presents the bum with the bill, and the bum laughs: "Heh! I haven't got any money!"

"What?!" shouts the bartender. He grabs the bum once again, slaps him around, and throws him out of the bar.

The next night, the same bum comes in and announces: "Hey, I love the world tonight! Get me a drink, get everyone in the bar a drink, put it on my tab."

The bartender sneers, "What, you aren't buying me a drink tonight?"

"No. I'm sorry, buddy, but you get violent when you drink."
