The joke's on the author [I'm not] of the list, that I posted [#4704]
Good catch, though.

Re: The 2021 -2024 and Continuing Joke Threads

There were two avid sailors, both proud of their well-kept boats (the "Tuning Fork" and the "Robert Frost", respectively).
In all ways, they were evenly matched, as able sailors except, when it came to braiding rope.
Not that the Tuning fork’s captain’s braids were deficient, but the other had a flair, when it came to braiding, and couldn't help but show off his fancy skills.
It happened one time, that both boats needed new anchors lines.
The first sailor [Tuning Fork] tied an adequate braid into the rope, to secure his boat's anchor; while the other [Robert Frost] couldn't help but make his a tad fancy, with decorative tassels, here and there, in the braid.
All was well, until a powerful storm swept through the bay.
The tassels, it turned out, were detrimentally weakened by salt water, and the braid failed.
The ‘Robert Frost’ broke free of its anchor, and was battered to pieces, by the surf, against the shore; which leads to the moral of the story:

“When given a choice between two rodes, always choose the rode less tasseled.”

Re: The 2021 -2024 and Continuing Joke Threads

Why do dogs always race to the door, when the doorbell rings?
It's almost never for them.


This morning, I heard someone shouting loudly on a megaphone, outside my window. Saying "If you invest $15.00 just once, you can sit and eat for the rest of your life".
I went outside, with curiosity, and saw that the idiot ...
Was selling chairs.


I'm not too thrilled, that my wife is into bondage.
But, my hands are tied.

Re: The 2021 -2024 and Continuing Joke Threads

I read about a feudal uprising, where a duke's son was killed, by rebels.
They used a trebuchet, to knock him off the battlements, with the only available ordinance: a peasant's decapitated head.

It was the first recorded instance of a serf-face-to-heir missile.

Re: The 2021 -2024 and Continuing Joke Threads

Ten years ago I went cruising, on Lake superior, and my wife got pregnant.
Two years later, I went cruising, on Lake superior, and my wife got pregnant, again.
After that, when I went cruising, I decide to take my wife, with me.


Yesterday my wife dreamed that I was unfaithful.
So, I cheated on her, because I want to fulfill all of her dreams.

Uncle Bob, we're trying to keep this thread non-political, lest it be nuked (like all the others). This sort of post can set off lots of political (non-joke) comments. Please refrain.

Re: The 2021 -2024 and Continuing Joke Threads

Speaking of politics:

I have degrees in psychology, economics, and politics.
I don't have a job; but at least, I know why.

Politics is like driving:
No matter which lane you're in, anyone moving faster than you, is a maniac; and anyone going slower, is a moron.

Q: Why are politicians like sperm?
A: Only one in a million, turns out to be a human being.

Q: How many politicians does it take, to screw in a light bulb?
A: Three. One to screw it in, one to screw it up, and one to screw an intern.

Q: What do you call a politician, with a clear conscience?
A: An Alzheimer's patient.
