Bob and Sue were into BDSM. One night they were making out in their old Chevy van in the park when Sue suddenly yelled, “Beat me!” Now Bob had not thought to bring the whip from home, so instead he ran and ripped the aerial off the front of the van and used that to smack Sue’s ass. Unfortunately the wounds on Sue’s ass became infected and, several days later, she had to go to the ER. The doctor inspected the wounds and then told her, “You have van aerial disease.” ---

> [@Sangahyando](#): > > I have a liking for the follow-on to this joke: some while after, Noah takes a tour of inspection, checking up on how his ex-passengers are doing. He finds the adders denned-up among a number of felled-and-trimmed tree trunks, with a satisfying number of baby adders slithering around the place. He says, “I see you’ve figured out the multiplying thing – good work.” > > “That’s right, Mr. Noah,” say the adders. “In the end, we used logs.” That works. But here’s the way I heard it: _ **… So Noah built a table out of logs. Even adders can multiply on a log table.** _ ---

I didn’t see this one, it’s not all that funny but you usually have explain it. This is told question and answer style and the respondant ideally should be single and female. At a gathering of some sort; Nosy asks “Where is your husband?” Our female protagonist replies; “Oh my husbands parents are childless.” Said with the right amount of regret in your voice will usually elicit something along the lines of; Oh I’m sorry to hear that. I’m male and happen to be single and have used this on occasion when I found someone to be a little too curious. It’s my observation that females are more prone to have the assumption of being married maide about them. Zuer-coli ---

another situational juxtaposition Friend of mine is a truck driver, he got a Peterbilt truck. [www.peterbilt.com](http://www.peterbilt.com) In conversation soon after he said “When I got my Peterbilt something something.” Only the something something was drowned out by the gails of laughter.

I thought this was pretty straightforward, but the guy I told it to took about 5-6 seconds to get it: “He acts so goofy he has to pay royalties to Walt Disney”. ---

Didn’t read the whole thread and with apologies to Dave Allen ------ A Catholic nun and priest are talking and the nun asks “Do you ever think we’ll see women as serve as priests?” And the priest replies "Not in our time or our children’s time but our children’s children ------- " Laughed my ass off about 3 minutes after he told it. ---

Or the very short sketch, with a monk and a nun beginning to sing as a duet: “If you were the only girl in the world, And I were the only boy: Nothing…” (THE END) ---

OK, I’m whooshed. I gather the joke has something to do with priests and nuns being celibate, but I don’t follow. ---

> [@PlaceboTarget](#): > > A patient with a bandage wrapped around his ankle knocks on a neurologist’s door. > > “The nurse couldn’t tell whether I should see you or the psychiatrist,” the patient says. > > “What seems to be the problem?” The doctor gestures him to sit down. > > “I have an extremely bad headache.” The patient rubs his forehead. > > “Then why is the bandage wrapped around your ankle?” The doctor asks. > > “It slipped down,” the patient replies. My take is the patient has given a nonsensical answer, hence he might need a psychiatrist more than a neurologist. 1. it is impossible for a bandage to slip from the head to one ankle. 2. if it did, would a normal person leave it there? ---
