The joke thread

Recommended Posts

In the year 2016 the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the UK and said:

"Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good humans."

He gave Noah the blueprints, saying: "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard, but no Ark.

"Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"

"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed. I needed Building Regulations Approval and I've been arguing with the Fire Brigade about the need for a sprinkler system.

My neighbours claim that I should have obtained planning permission for building the Ark in my garden because it is development of the site, even though in my view it is a temporary structure.

We had to then go to appeal to the local Council for a decision. Then the Department of Transport demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.

Getting the wood was another problem. All the decent trees have Tree Preservation Orders on them and we live in a Site of Special Scientific interest set up in order to protect the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!

When I started gathering the animals, the RSPCA sued me. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.

Then the County Council, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Rivers Authority ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.

I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Equal Opportunities Commission on how many disabled carpenters I'm supposed to hire for my building team. The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only accredited workers with Ark-building experience.

To make matters worse, Customs and Excise seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species.

So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark."

Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.

Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"

"No," said the Lord. "..........the fvcking British Government beat me to it!"

A wedding occurred just outside Cavan in Ireland. To keep tradition going, everyone got drunk and the bride and groom's families had a storming row and started wrecking the reception room and generally kicking the crap out of each other, the Police were called in to break up the fight.

The following week, all members of both families appear in court.

The fight continues in the court room until the Judge finally brings silence with the use of his hammer, shouting, "Silence in Court!"

The court room goes silent and Paddy, the best man, stands up and say's. "Judge... I was the Best Man at the wedding and I think I should explain what happened."

The Judge agrees and asks Paddy to take the stand.

Paddy begins his explanation by telling the court that it is traditional in a Cavan wedding that the Best Man gets the first dance with the Bride.

The Judge says," OK".

"Well," said Paddy, "after I had finished the first dance, the music kept going so I continued dancing to the second song, and after that the music kept going and I was dancing to the third song...when all of a sudden the Groom leapt over the table, ran towards us and gave the Bride an unmerciful kick in her privates."

The Judge instantly responded, "God... that must have hurt!"

Paddy replies; "HURT!!... he broke three of my bloody fingers"

I met a man who's on the transplant waiting list today. He talked me into going on the donor register.

 

I thought to myself "there's a man after my own heart."

This was voted the best joke of this years Edinburgh fringe festival apparently!

A beautiful girl came up to me in a bar and asked me if I wanted a good time.

 

"Yes yes yes" I replied.

 

Then she ran 100m in 8.73 seconds.

Top contender ! ......     for worst joke on page 244 of this thread.  :)

Webbo had been offered a lucrative job wallpapering a big house in Stoneygate, but he wasn't sure how many rolls of paper he'd need and he desperately didn't want to buy too much - it was £500 a roll. Anyway, as luck would have it, he knew that one of his friends had papered the identical house next door, so he gave him a call and asked how many rolls he'd bought. The friend informed him that he'd bought fifteen rolls, so Webbo went off to the suppliers, handed over £7,500, and went off to do the job. Being a conscientious kind of guy, he slowly worked his way through the house, room by room, only to find - to his horror - that he had only needed ten rolls after all.

 

Well, he was furious, and immediately went to confront his friend. "Paddy", he fumed, "I've just finished papering that house in Stoneygate and I've got five rolls left - I'm well out of pocket".

"Yeah", Paddy replied, "Me too".

Speaking of bags:

 

Countryfox was out on his tractor one day, trimming the hedges with the scythe. Unbeknown to him, a neighbour was walking the other side of the hedge. Hearing the man scream, Countryfox stopped the tractor, and to his horror, discovered that he'd amputated the poor man's arm. Well, Countryfox isn't the kind of man to panic: quick as a flash, he staunched the bleeding and put the arm into a plastic bag, then sped off to the hospital.

 

To his great surprise, just a few days later the neighbour was out of hospital with his arm as good as new. A miracle of modern medicine, he informed Countryfox (who was greatly relieved).

 

Fate, however, is a fickle mistress, and just the next day the same thing happened, this time costing the poor man his leg. Once again our intrepid hero staunched the bleeding and put the leg into a plastic bag, and again rushed him to hospital.

 

To his relief, the unlucky neighbour was out playing football within days. A miracle of modern medicine, he once again informed Countryfox.

 

The next day (yep, you guessed it) there came the most terrible of accidents, this time leaving the poor man decapitated. Well, Countryfox knew just what to do. He staunched the bleeding, dropped the head into a plastic bag, and rushed to the hospital.

 

A week passed with no sign of the neighbour. Then another. And another. Countryfox, by now sick with worry, drove to the hospital to find out what the problem was, whereupon a tearful nurse informed him that his neighbour had passed away.

"How could this have happened?", he cried. "Whatever happened to the miracle of modern medicine?".

"Oh, we could have saved him", she sobbed, "but some idiot put his head in a plastic bag, and he suffocated..."
