Default Really Bad Jokes

Bad Jokes.

Bally35 started it in another thread - here's the worst joke I know.

I met a Dutch girl. She was wearing inflatable footwear.

I rang her for a date but sadly she had popped her clogs.

How do you know policemen are strong? Because they can hold up traffic. What do termites eat for breakfast? Oakmeal. What do massage therapists eat for dinner? Spa-ghetti.Why were the suspenders arrested? For holding up a pair of pants.How does the queen bee get around her hive? She's throne. What do bees do if they don't want to drive? Wait at the buzz stop. Two parrots were sitting on a perch. One said to the other, "It smells fishy around here." Two fish were in a tank. One said to the other, "Do you know how to drive this thing?" What's the friendliest school? Hi school. What do you give a dog with a fever? Mustard. (It's good for a hot dog.) How do you kill a circus? Go for the juggler. (more to follow....)

An Illinois man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a holiday in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he’d written her address, he did his best to type it from memory. Unfortunately, he missed out a letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife, whose husband had passed away the previous day. When the grieving widow checked her email, she looked at the monitor, let out a piercing scream and passed out. Her family rushed into the room, found their mother on the floor and this message on the screen;

DEAREST WIFE, JUST GOT CHECKED IN, EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW.

PS. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE

I went to the vets the other day with my dog, the vet picked him up, looked him in the eye and said "I'm going to have to put him down."

I said "Is he THAT ill?"

He said, "No, he's just heavy."

A lion, a bear and a chicken are sitting in a pub discussing which one's the hardest.
The bear says "When I growl, the entire forest runs for cover."
The lion says "That's nothing. When I roar, everything on the plains of Africa shakes with fear."
The chicken thinks for a while then says "Funnily enough, when I sneeze, the entire world **** itself."

The European Union(EU) has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl rite n styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas. we haf wayz of makin yu talk to pepol.
