Punchline should surely just be 'My god'. Anyway.

Re: Joke thread
Not a joke, but made me laugh. Apparently, a true story published on another forum:
Retired bloke took a job as a greeter on a New York department store. Smart, well-mannered, very good at his job but always late for work. HR called him in one morning:
HR: John(?). You do your work very well but you're always late arriving.
John: Yes, I suppose I am.
HR: Wouldn't it be better all round if you got here a little earlier each morning?
John: Yes, I suppose it would. I've always started around this time.
HR: In your previous employment, what did they say to you when you arrived?
John: Usually, "good morning Admiral, would you like your coffee now?"

Re: Joke thread
Not a true one, Tango, but amusing with a little point. At least according to snopes. Being doing the internet rounds for a while and the store was always Walmart and the admiral's name was Charlie. Still I liked it.

Never heard it before Monty and it was supposed t be true, but I'll except your version as more likely. Just found it funny.Montreal Wanderer wrote:Not a true one, Tango, but amusing with a little point. At least according to snopes.

Re: Joke thread
I met a popstar in a nightclub last night and we ended up getting really drunk and going back to my place.
She was all over me in the taxi, stroking and caressing my body and whispering filth into my ear, but as soon as she got through the front door she stiffened up and her attitude changed completely.
"What the heck is that pathetic little thing?" She demanded. "How on Earth do you think that you're going to satisfy me with that?"
"I'm sorry Adele", I replied, "It's the biggest fridge I could afford".

Adele called her first albums 19 & 21 because they are numbers that have special importance to her life
Her follow up 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510 is due out in the summer.

Re: Joke thread
I've just had to google 'Adele' for these jokes to make any sense to me.
