A Drivel Runs Through It

Friday, July 29, 2005

Make me laugh. I dare you.
I am crabby. I've been crabby for several days, for various reasons, which I'll spare you. Strangely enough, though, they're all three-letter words.

Want to help cheer me up? Tell me a joke or funny story in the comments. The one that makes me laugh the hardest will win a jar of Montana huckleberry jam.

Here are a few jokes to get the party started:
Two peanuts walk into a bar. One was asalted.

A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."

A sandwich walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry we don't serve food in here."

Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive ..."

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his pants. He steps up to the bar and the bartender says, "Hey buddy, are you aware that you have a steering wheel in your pants?" The pirate says, "Aye, and it's driving me nuts."

A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says: "A beer please, and one for the road."

A pony walks into a bar and orders an ale. The barkeep asks if he wants a bottle? "No, I'm a draft horse."

A dyslexic man walks into a bra.

A bunch from the Poetryetc list, just today:

Q: How many software developers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: I'm sorry, that's a hardware issue.

How many dogs does it take to......

These are the answers from dogs when asked "How many dogs does it take
to put in a light bulb?"

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our
whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid
burned-out light bulb?

Border Collie: Just one. And I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

Dachshund: I can't reach the stupid lamp!

Toy Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border collie's ear and he'll do it.
By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

Rottweiler: Go Ahead! Make me!

Shi-tzu: Puh-leeze, dah-ling. Let the servants. . . .

Lab: Oh, me, me!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can
I? Huh? Huh? Can I?

Malamute: Let the Border collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy.

Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

Doberman Pinscher: While it's dark, I'm going to sleep on the couch.

Mastiff: Mastiffs are NOT afraid of the dark.

Hound Dog: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

Irish Wolfhound: Can somebody else do it? I've got a hangover.

Pointer: I see it, there it is, right there...

Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

Australian Shepherd: Put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? Light bulb? That thing I just ate was
a light bulb?

Via email from my best friend, Michelle:

The lights have gone out and George Bush is sent to change the bulbs. How many excuses will he need?

1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;

2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;

3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb;

4. One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs

5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb;

6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner: "Light Bulb Change Accomplished; God bless this Light Bulb and the job it took to get done."

7. One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally in the dark;

8. One to viciously smear No. 7;

9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along;

10. And finally, one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.

These are excellent and really did bring a smile to my face. Thank you!

Would you mind very much if I nicked the 'bar jokes' and posted them over at my place? I'll credit you...

[PS the 'bra' one is my favourite - I've heard that one before... lol]

Alda, the bar one is my favorite, too. Of course you can share these jokes. You don't have to credit me unless you really want to ....

That reminds me, I think I owe Sharon a jar of jam!

And, BTW, I am feeling much better now, thanks.
