Re: Joke thread
A teacher asks her students to use the word "contagious" in a sentence.
Sally raises her hand.
"Yes, Sally?"
She answers, "I was at the doctor's office with my mom, but she told me not to play with the toys in the waiting room because the other kids were contagious."
"Very good, Sally!" the teacher said, "Anyone else want to try?"
Jessie raises her hand. "Yes, Jessie?"
She answers, "My dad tells me not to yawn because then everybody else yawns. He said yawning is contagious."
"Excellent work, Jessie! Very creative," the teacher praises. "Okay, one more volunteer."
Little Bobby raises his hand.
"Yes, Bobby?"
"Well," he says, "I was helping my dad with the garden the other day, and we saw my neighbor painting his house. He was using a small brush, so I asked my dad, 'Daddy, why is he using such a small brush?' and he says, 'I don't know, but it's gonna take that contagious.'"

Re: Joke thread
This joke was told by Desmond Tutu giving the keynote address at the American Psychiatric Association this week in Hawaii.
A man, walking along a cliff, slips and falls, grabs on to an exposed tree root and is dangling over the abyss.
He yells, "Oh god, help, is there anybody up there who can help me?"
A deep booming voice from the heavens replies: "My son, because of your faith in me these many years I will save you. Just let go of the root,and I will catch you before you crash onto the jagged rocks below."
After about twenty seconds of thought the man yells again: "Is there anybody ELSE up there who can help me....."

He was trying to explain the difference between faith and reason, but it may be too subtle for some....Lofthouse Lower wrote:He shouldn't give up the day job

Geez - he's nearly 80, an archbishop and Nobel laureate, and you want a sidesplitter or something very vulgar? Dear me.jaffka wrote:Lofthouse Lower wrote:Thanks for the condescension, but it was still a bit pants

Re: Joke thread
That's exactly what I want.
If my 90 year old granddad can still tell cock and balls jokes when he's not been further than Salford, I'd expect that vicar to be able to come up with better.

Re: Joke thread
I'll try again - not a joke but from an Augusta, Georgia paper.

Re: Joke thread
Brilliant. Good thing steps weren't involved in the escape.
