This is for jokes that you feel are so inside or obscure you’ll be asked to explain them, but you can’t keep to yourself.
Did you hear the one about the Cockney girl who moved to America because she wanted to do a heroic act?
Why did the programmer only take a part of her meal? Because it was curried.
I’d tell a joke about fine-grained address allocation here, but you are all too classy.
That’s about as useful as a bundling board with a knothole.
And I thought, “Who led the Pedants’ Revolt in 1381?” was an obscure joke! Which Tyler
Three logicians walk in to a bar, bartender asks “Would you three like a drink?”
The first logician says “I don’t know”
The second logician says “I don’t know”
The third logician says “Yes”
Latin students never decline sex
Is this in reference to the Amish practice of bundling?
Okay, I get the one about address allocation, but the other two defeat me. I’m surprised I didn’t get the one about programming, but clearly it’s too obscure.
I saw a funny cartoon about that the other day. The King is confronting the revolutionaries and saying, “I thought there’d be less of you,” and they shout “FEWER!”.
Bwahahaha!!!
Who was big and grey and the father of Alexander the Great?
[SPOILER]Phillip of Mastodon!
(In all the years I have been telling that joke, only one person, a Classics major, has been able to guess the punchline!)
[/SPOILER]
What makes us think mastodons were grey?
There’s no “i” in “denial”

Reminds me of the jokes my high school Chemistry teacher and I would tell each other. I don’t remember them now, but you had to have a grasp of quantum physics to get the punchline of many of them.
Shouldn’t be a problem here, but this joke usually garners blank stares:
Cop pulls over a quantum physicist for speeding. He walks up to the window and asks “Sir, do you have any idea how fast you were going?”
And the physicist says “No, but I know exactly where I am.”
Also, there are 10 types of people; those who know binary and those who don’t.
I freely admit too only getting about 1/4 of the previously posted jokes in this thread.
So where are the explanations for these jokes? Not for me, of course, no, I get every one of them. But others might need some help.
Yeah, that’s what I meant, others.
So Duke Ellington dies and goes to Heaven. St. Peter meets him at the pearly gates. “Hey, Duke!” he says. “We’ve been waiting for you to lead Heaven’s band. You can have anyone you want. Charlie Parker on alto? Got 'im! John Coltrane on tenor? Got 'im! You can take your pick - you can even have Jimi Hendrix on guitar if you want.”
Then St. Peter draws a little nearer to the Duke and lowers his voice. “But…uh…for the singer…well, God’s got this girl…”
I only got the one about the Cockney girl - try reading the joke (mentally) with a Cockney accent, most importantly dropping the “h” off “heroic.”
Nope. Still nothing.
Huh. I might be totally misinterpreting the joke and reading into things that aren’t there . . . I think “heroic” turns into “eroic” which turns into “erotic.”
Maybe I need to get my mind out of the gutter.
