The Daily Joke Thread

A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Hey, we have a drink named after you." The grasshopper says, "You have a drink called Larry?"

A guy walks into a bar with jumper cables. The bartender looks up and says.... "You can come in, but don't start anything!"

A dog with his leg wrapped in bandages hobbles into a saloon. He sidles up to the bar and announces: "I'm lookin' fer the man that shot my paw."

30 years ago a friend of mine told that joke except it was a white horse called Arnold. My friend has been known as Arnie ever since.

Every time I read this I laugh.

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer.

The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home... I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.

AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right?

There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.

I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised.

Am I wrong?

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and Tazer in another.

The directions said that:

a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant;

a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and

a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water.


Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.

All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'

What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.

I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head c*cked to one side so as to say, ' Don 't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad.. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it.

I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and...

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. WHAT THE... !!!

I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

Note:
If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a Tazer,
one note of caution:

There is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor!
A three second burst would be considered conservative!

A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.

•My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace.
•The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was.
•My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching.
•My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.
•I had no control over the drooling.
•Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone.
•I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair.
I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!

PS: My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it!

If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

A piece of string went into a bar and asked the barman for a "pint".

The barman says`are you a piece of string`?

The piece of string replies `yes i am !.. and there are no laws about selling beer to pieces of string.

The piece of string got his pint and returned night after night for weeks becoming a regular...

Then one night, a shabby, twisted and tangled mess of fibres went up to the bar.

The barman says `are you a piece of string`?

The mess of fibres says `No im a frayed knot`

Sorry folks... That`s my first post on here and for all our sakes i hope things improve, and quickly.


Why we miss Rodney Dangerfield ...........

Because he said ....

My wife only has sex with me for a purpose. Last night she used me to time an egg.

It's tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass!

Last night my wife met me at the front door. She was wearing a sexy negligee. The only trouble was, she was coming home.

A girl phoned me and said, 'Come on over. There's nobody home.' I went over. Nobody was home!

A hooker once told me she had a headache.

I went to a massage parlor. It was self-service.

If it weren't for pickpockets, I'd have no sex life at all.

I was making love to this girl and she started crying. I said, 'Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?' She said, 'No, I hate myself now.'

I knew a girl so ugly that she was known as a two-bagger. That's when you put a bag over your head in case the bag over her head comes off.

I knew a girl so ugly... they use her in prisons to cure sex offenders.

My wife is such a bad cook, if we leave dental floss in the kitchen the roaches hang themselves..

I'm so ugly I stuck my head out the window and got arrested for mooning.

The other day I came home and a guy was jogging, naked. I asked him, 'Why?' He said, 'Because you came home early.'

My wife's such a bad cook, the dog begs for Alka-Seltzer.

I know I'm not sexy. When I put my underwear on I can hear the Fruit-of-the-Loom guys giggling.

My wife is such a bad cook, in my house we pray after the meal.

My wife likes to talk on the phone during sex; she called me from Chicago last night.

My family was so poor that if I hadn't been born a boy, I wouldn't of had anything to play with.

Yee Haw! Love that one.

After grocery shopping one day, an old lady gets into the elevator at her apartment building. At the same time, 3 beautiful models get in. They all stand on the other side of the elevator away from the old lady.

The first woman asks the second, "What is that cologne you're wearing?" The second says, "Liz Claiborne, $100 a bottle. What about you?" The first says, "Lacoste, $150 a bottle." They both look at the third and ask, "How about you?" The third says, "Estee Lauder, $200 a bottle."

This whole time the old lady was listening to them and shaking her head. The elevator then stops and the old lady started moving to the door. Right before she gets off, she rips this really loud and nasty smelling fart.

She then turns to the 3 women and with a devilish smile says, "Baked beans, 89 cents a can."

..which reminds me about this gem:

And the same as a picture:

A man in a Florida supermarket tries to buy a half a head of lettuce. The young produce assistant tells him that they only sell whole heads. The man persists and asks to see the manager. The boy says he'll ask his manager about it. Walking into the back room the boy says to the manager, "Some asshole wants to buy a half a head of lettuce".....As he finishes his sentence, he turns to find the man standing right behind him, so he adds "......and THIS gentleman has kindly offered to buy the other half." The manager approved the deal, and the man went on his way.

Later the manager said to the boy, "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who can think on their feet. Where are you from son?"...."Canada, Sir," replied the boy. "Well why did you leave Canada?" the manager asked. "Sir, there's nothing but whores and hockey players up there," said the boy. "Really?" said the manager, "My wife is from Canada."

"No shit!" said the boy. "Who'd she play for?"

A monkey and a lizzard sat in a tree.

Then the monkey asks if they should try to smoke some pot!

"Sure" says the lizzard and they smoke the pot.

After smoking the pot he lizzard says to the mokey - "I'm thirsty from all that pot I think I'll go down by the river and drink some water". And so it does.

Down by the river the lizzard stumbles in some loose gravel and end out in the river. It cannot swim so it yells "please help me I'm drowning, oh please help!"

Nearby a friendly crocodile hears the cry and swims over to save the lizzard.

Safely back on the riverbank the crocodile asks the lizzard "Why did you go into the river when you know you cannot swim?"

"But I stubled in the loose gravel because me and the monkey smoked pot and I am stoned! That monkey made me smoke pot!"

Upon hearing this the big crocodile gets very upset. He hates all drugs and everything about them so he says to the lizzard "I'll go talk to that little monkey bastard - set him straight I will"

So up to the tree the crocodile walks, every step of the way he is getting more and more angry about the situation and as he approaches he can see the monkey sitting very relaxed and casual in the tree and that angers him even further. So when he finally gets to the tree he is so enraged he just yells out to the monkey

"Hey Monkey!!"

The stoned monkey looks down from the tree and in a surprised voice says " WOW MAN ! HOW MUCH WATER DID YOU DRINK??"

A day in the forest...

A monkey passes by a sitting squirrel and says:

- good morning squirrel, what are you doing here?

- I am enjoying this fine joint, says the squirrel

A second later, a jackrabbit passes running in front of them yelling: "come on guys, leave the drugs alone and come with me to run a little, life is beautiful!".

Neither the squirrel or the monkey say anything...

After a while, the jackrabbit passes again running: "come on you fools, enjoy nature, leave the drugs and run with me!"

The monkey, looks at the squirrel and says:

- Jackrabbit is right, we live in a perfect forest and you spend your life on drugs... Let's go run with him, it will be fun!

And the jackrabbit responds:

- Yeah, right, every time jackrabbit is on coke, I will run with him in the forest like an idiot...

An Alabama preacher said to his congregation, "Someone in this congregation has spread a rumor that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan. This is a horrible lie and one which a Christian community cannot tolerate. I am embarrassed and do not intend to accept this. Now, I want the party who did this to stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian Family."

No one moved. The preacher continued, "Do you have the nerve to face me and admit this is a falsehood? Remember, you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel glory. Now stand and confess your transgression."

Again all was quiet.

Then slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous blonde with a body that would stop traffic rose from the third pew. Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke, "Reverend there has been a terrible misunderstanding. I never said you were a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I simply told a couple of my friends that you were a wizard under the sheets."

A 15 year old Amish boy and his father were in a mall for the first time. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.

The boy ask, "What is this, Father?"

The father (never having seen an elevator before) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."

Just then, a fat old lady in a wheelchair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into the small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number.... and then the numbers began to light up in reverse order.

Finally, the walls opened up again and a stunning 24 year old blond woman stepped out.

The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son...

"Go get your Mother."

Good stuff, Old! Grew up in Georgia, most of them sayins is gospel to a southern boy.

Did you hear the one about the Irish acid bath murderer?

He lost his arm pulling the plug out!

A man and a small boy arrive at the edge of the woods. After getting out of his van the man takes the boy by the hand and they begin walking into the woods.

As they are walking the sun begins to go down and the woods get darker and darker. Further still they walk into the woods. It's getting darker and darker and very creepy. They continue walking, each squeezing the other's hand a little tighter at each strange sound and eerie shadow.

Eventually, after quite some distance, they reach a point where they can take the fear any longer. The little boy jumps in fright at the latest unexplained sound and says to the man, "Gee, mister, it sure is scary in here!"

The man looks around at the surroundings then looks down at the boy. "You think you're scared?", he says. "I'm the one that has to walk out of here all alone."

That's Hitchcock-esque. Creepy.
