Re: The 2021 Joke Thread

Cool. My French isn't up to that. Tx for the clarification.


But...an English 'crochet hook' is shaped "exactly" like the little 'hooks'. it's sort of a hockey stick shaped hook, whereas the more generic 'hook' can mean a whole different bunch of different shaped 'hooks'. At least, in English....

Re: The 2021 Joke Thread

Where one places the "s" can make a big difference, too. Shook vs. hooks.

No wonder we have problems communicating.

Re: The 2021 Joke Thread

Speaking of the Irish, not many people are aware that, when they die, they bury them along the highways with a sign showing their age, their name and their home town.

That’s why, as you drive along, you can see signs saying:
50 Miles from Dublin,
45 Miles from Dublin,
Etc

Re: The 2021 Joke Thread

guy finds a bottle at the beach, rubs it and a genie comes out.

genie says:" im the most powerful genie there is. i can give you anything you want, but you only get one wish."

guy says: " i want a road built from california to hawaii. i always wanted to go but im afraid to fly, or afraid to take a boat."

genie says:" thats impossible, cant do it, the waters too deep and the ocean will just wreck it. ask me anything else."

Guy says: "ok then, show me how to understand women."

genie says: "would you like that road 2 lane or 4 lane."

Re: The 2021 Joke Thread

A good mood is like a balloon,
one little prick is all it takes to ruin it.

I never wake up grumpy,
I always let her sleep.

I got banned from Weight Watchers for dropping a bag of M&Ms on the floor; was the best game of Hungry Hippos I've ever seen.

Principal: "Your child always causes trouble in school . . . "
Me: "My child causes trouble at home, do I ever call you . . ."

My mind says "Get up."
My body says "Bite me!"


You call it coffee, I call it my emotional support beverage.

Re: The 2021 Joke Thread

Angela Merkel is traveling to France, and is going through Customs and Immigration.

The agent asks "your name?"

"Angela Merkel"

"National Origin?"

"I am German"

"Occupation?"

"No, I'm just here on holiday."
