I thought the real joke was that football will still be played twenty years from now.
Bill Clinton
“Being president is like running a cemetery: you’ve got a lot of people under you and nobody’s listening.”
LBJ
“If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: ‘President Can’t Swim.’”
Abraham Lincoln (referring to a lawyer)
“He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas better than any man I ever met.”
Ronald Reagan
“Thomas Jefferson once said, ‘We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.’ And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying.”

“It was absolutely involuntary. They sank my boat.”
Saw a made-up 18th century “yo mama so fat” joke, humorously attributed to George Washington:

Well, he did grow enough hemp to keep the Pharcyde buzzin’.
The FBI, the CIA, and the KGB
are all trying to prove they are the best at catching criminals.
The Secretary General of the UN decides to set them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest, and each of them has to catch it.
The FBI receive 1000 tips about the rabbit’s location but refuses to investigate.
The CIA burns down the whole forest and said there’s no rabbit.
The KGB drags a man out of the forest and beats him as he screams “OK I’m a rabbit!”
When I was a kid my mom used to say " Pardon my French" when she said any bad word.
I’ll never forget the day in school when my teacher ask if could speak French.
They think there’s a workers shortage now?
Wait until the kids we can’t afford to have don’t grow up.

That’s no joke. That’s the coming reality.

A Roman senator
comes into the senate fifteen minutes late one day. Cicero is up front making a speech, so he creeps into his seat as quietly as possible and whispers to the guy next to him, “what’s he talking about?” The guy replies, “I don’t know, he hasn’t gotten to the verb.”
While walking into work,
a man noticed a homeless man sitting on a curb near his office. He handed him a dollar. While leaving work, the same man noticed a homeless woman sitting on the same curb. He handed her 82 cents.
So I’m chatting to this 14 year old on the Internet…
She is funny, flirty, sexy and intelligent and now she’s telling me she’s an undercover cop. How cool is that at her age!
Convicts, at least, get time off for good behavior.

I teach demographics and human geography to undergrads, and this joke is actually really deep! The “demographic burden” — South Korea leading the way, but we’re all headed in that direction. Thank goodness the US welcomes immigrants (usually!).
Okay, back to your regularly scheduled joke thread…
(ETA: I see Hari Seldon observed the same.)
He would, wouldn’t he?
