A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.

Engineer: What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!

Doctor: I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!

Pastor: Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him. [dramatic pause] Hi George. Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?

George: Oh, yes, that's a group of blind fire fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.

The group was silent for a moment.

Pastor: That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.
Doctor: Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them.

Engineer: Why can't these guys play at night?

A blind priest, a rabbi, and a monkey all walk into a bar. Suddenly the barkeep looks up and says "What is this, some kinda joke?"

Here is an old, sad and not that funny one.

An orc walks into a bar. And says "ouch".

Three ropes walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "We don't serve ropes here."

So one of the ropes ties a knot in himself, then splays out his ends. He walks back into the bar. The bartender says, "Hey, aren't you a rope?"

"No, I'm afraid not."

ALL TIME BEST OF STEPHEN WRIGHT

I plugged my phone in where the blender used to be. I called someone. They
went "Aaaaahhhh..."
"Boycott shampoo! Demand the REAL poo!"
"I xeroxed a mirror. Now I have an extra xerox machine."
"I was in the first submarine. Instead of a periscope, they had a kaleidoscope. 'We're surrounded'..."
"My house is on the median strip of a highway. You don't really notice, except I have to leave the driveway doing 60 MPH."
"I didn't get a toy train like the other kids. I got a toy subway instead. You
couldn't see anything, but every now and then you'd hear this rumbling noise go by."

So a rare book dealer meets an old aquaintance of his at a coffee shop, and they chat for a while. As they talk, the aquaintance mentions in passing that he threw out an old family bible, adding that it had been printed by Guten somebody.
The book dealer gasped. "Not Gutenberg!?!"
"Yeah, that was the guy."
"You idiot! You just threw out one of the rare Gutenberg bibles! A copy of one just sold for several million dollars!"
"That's all right," the man replied assuredly, "They wouldn't have wanted mine. Some clown by the name of Martin Luther scribbled all over it."

Number Five Hundred and Twenty One!

One day, a bear was chasing a rabbit through the woods, when the rabbit tripped on a genie's lamp. The bear realized that if he stopped chasing the rabbit, he might get some wishes out of it. The rabbit rubbed the lamp, and the genie came out and said, "Thank you for releasing me. I will grant you each three wishes."

The bear thought for a while, then said, "I wish all of the bears in this forest were female, except for me." So the genie made every other bear in the forest female.

The rabbit quickly wished for a crash helmet, and a thick helmet appeared on his head.

The bear was puzzled by the rabbit's wish, but continued, "I wish every other bear in this country were female." So the genie did what he was told.

The rabbit wished for the fastest motorcycle available, and the genie conjured it up.

The bear was still confused by the rabbit's wasteful wishes, and said, "I wish that every other bear in the world were female." So the genie made every other bear a female.

The rabbit smiled, buckled his helmet, started up the motorcycle, revved the engine a few times, then said, "I wish the bear was gay."

Number Three Hundred and Eighteen!

Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He's got two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags?"

"Sand," answers Juan.

The guard says, "We'll just see about that - get off the bike." The guard takes the bags and rips them apart. He empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags.

The guard releases Juan, puts the sand into new bags, hefts them onto the man's shoulders, and lets him cross the border.

A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, "What have you got?"

"Sand," says Juan.

The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, who crosses the border on his bicycle.

This sequence of events is repeated every week for three years. Finally, and much later, the guard is retired and sitting in a cantina in Mexico, where he meets Juan.

"Hey, Buddy," says the guard, "I know you were smuggling something. It drives me crazy. It's all I think about. I can't sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?"

Juan sips his beer and says, "Bicycles."

Did you modify that from a mystery book you own, it sounds kinda like this car smuggling mystery i read

Silentiea · **Posted:** Wed May 06, 2009 1:55 pm

No. It's one I know from a long time ago.

I don't think I've ever read a book about car smuggling, either.

Number Three Hundred and Forty-Four!

A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected a quart of 2% milk, a carton of eggs, a quart of orange juice, a head of romaine lettuce, a 2 lb. can of coffee, and a 1 lb. package of bacon.

As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier.

He said, "You must be single."

The woman, a bit startled but intrigued by the derelict's intuition, looked at her six items on the belt. Seeing nothing particularly unusual about her selections, she said, "Well you know what, you're absolutely correct. But how in the world did you know that?"

The drunk replied, "Cause you're ugly."

A scientist walks into a bar and demands 'Who used my time machine'? The guy at the end then says 'I did, in about' - looks at his watch - '10 minutes'.

Don't blame me if you found that one unfunny, I didn't invent it... :twisted:

Number Three Hundred and Fifty-Eight!

Brad, a guy on the local beach just couldn't make progress with any of the girls, so he heads over to the guard tower to see if the lifeguard has any advice for him.

"Dude, it's obvious," says the lifeguard, "you're wearing those baggy swim trunks that make you look like an old geezer. Grab yourself a pair of Speedos, about two sizes too small, and drop a fist-sized potato inside. I'm telling you, you'll have all the babes you want!"

The following weekend, Brad hits the beach with his new Speedos, and his fist-sized potato and it's even worse than before. Everybody on the beach acts disgusted as he walks by, covering their faces, turning away, laughing, looking sick. So, Brad goes back to the life-guard again and ask him:

"What's wrong now?"

"Dude!" says the lifeguard: "The potato goes at the front!"

Army Jokes
Marine Corps Rules:
1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4."

11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your intention to shoot...

Navy SEAL's Rules:
1. Look very cool in sunglasses.
2. Kill every living thing within view.
3. Adjust Speedo.
4. Check hair in mirror.

US Army Rangers Rules:

US Navy Rules:
1. Go to Sea.
2. Drink Coffee.
3. Deploy Marines
-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
One reason the Armed Services have trouble operating jointly is that they don't speak the same language.

For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.

Army personnel would occupy the building so no one could enter.

Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat.

The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy.

Silentiea · **Posted:** Wed May 13, 2009 10:26 am

You know, they say things like this, but if we got into a conflict with an organized fighting force, I doubt the marines would do a lot of good if we didn't have an air force like ours. Moreover, do have any kind of clue what kind of goals could be accomplished with no loss of life using the air force?

Just because they spend all day sitting around playing video games for a living doesn't mean they can't fight. Just that they don't have to worry about getting shot when they do.

Where did you get those rules from?

Careful about dissing the Air Force - my Dad was in that. Only as a radio technician guy, but still...

Falconer · **Posted:** Fri May 15, 2009 5:19 pm

Uh... good question. I think I just googled "funny military rules" after my friend told me that one.

Silentiea · **Posted:** Sat May 16, 2009 1:17 am

I've heard a lot of air force jokes. I figure they're probably a lot like drummer jokes: funny even though they're hardly true, and most often told by the ones they're about.

Drummer jokes? Like 'what do yuo call a guy who hangs around with musicians?' :wink:
