Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly; but when they lit a fire in the craft,it sank, proving once and for all that you can’t have your kayak and heat it.

So I said “Do you want a game of Darts?”, he said “OK then”, I said “Nearest to bull starts”. He said “Baa”, I said “Moo”, he said “You’re closest”.

You see I’m against hunting, in fact I’m a hunt saboteur. I go out the night before and shoot the fox.

The other day I sent my girlfriend a huge pile of snow. I rang her up, I said “Did you get my drift?”.

So I went down the local supermarket, I said “I want to make a complaint,this vinegar’s got lumps in it”, he said “Those are pickled onions”.

I saw this bloke chatting up a cheetah, I thought “he’s trying to pull a fast one”.

But I’ll tell you what I love doing more than anything: trying to pack myself in a small suitcase. I can hardly contain myself.

I went to the Chinese restaurant and this duck came up to me with a Red rose and says “Your eyes sparkle like diamonds”. I said “Waiter, I asked for a-ROMATIC duck”.

This bloke says to me, “Can I come in your house and talk about your carpets?”. I thought “That’s all I need, a Je-hoover’s witness”.

You see my next door neighbour worships exhaust pipes, he’s a catholic converter.

So I was having dinner with Garry Kasporov and there was a check tablecloth. It took him two hours to pass me the salt.

He said “You remind me of a pepper-pot”, I said “I’ll take that as a condiment”.

And I’ve got a friend who’s fallen in love with two school bags, he’s bisatchel.

So a lorry-load of tortoises crashed into a train-load of terrapins, I thought “That’s a turtle disaster”.

Four fonts walk into a bar The barman says “Oi - get out! We don’t want your type in here”

A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Amal.” The other goes to a family in Spain, they name him Juan". Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mum. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wished she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, “But they’re twins.If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Amal.”

So this duck walks into a bar. He hops up onto a stool and says “Hey barkeep! Ya got any grapes?”  
The bartender replies “Grapes? No we don’t have any grapes. Get out of here.”  
The next day, the duck walks back into the bar.  
“Hey barkeep! Ya got any grapes?”  
“No, I don’t have any grapes! Get out of here!”  
The next day, the duck walks into the bar again.  
“Hey barkeep! Ya got any grapes?”  
“I told you we don’t have any grapes. And if I see your feathered butt in here again, I’m gonna nail your webbed feet to the bar!”

The next day, the duck walks back into the bar.  
“Hey barkeep! Ya got any nails?”  
“What? NO I don’t have any NAILS!”

“Ya got any grapes?”

Thanks to Mikey for this one.

Believe it or not, I saw/heard Brando do this one on Johnny Carson:

B: Knock knock  
C: Who’s there?  
B: Banana  
C: Banana who?  
B: Knock knock  
C: Who’s there?  
B: Banana  
C: Banana who?  
B: Knock knock  
C: Who’s there?  
B: Banana  
C: Banana who?  
B: Knock knock  
C: Who’s there?  
B: Orange  
C: Orange who?  
B: Orange ya glad I didn’t say banana?

And THE BEST knock knock joke:

A: Wanna hear a good knock-knock joke?  
B: Yeah!  
A: Say “knock knock”  
B: Knock knock  
A: Who’s there?
