Two cannibals are standing next to a big pot with a woman in it. One says, ‘It’s going to have to be Manhattan style. She’s on her period.’

What did the cannibal do after he dumped his girlfriend?  
He wiped.

Did you hear about the cannibal who passed his friend in the Jungle?

A drunk falls into an open grave. He tries and tries, but can’t get out of it. After he’s given up, another drunk falls into the grave. The first one says morosely, ‘You’ll never get out.’ But he did!

Cannibal jokes aren’t in good taste. 🙂

Foot, Foot-Foot, and Foot-Foot-Foot were walking in the cemetery one dark night. Foot stumbled and fell into an open grave. Foot-Foot said, ‘What are we going to do?’ Foot-Foot-Foot said, ‘Let’s get out of here. We’ve got one Foot in the grave already!’

Not so much a joke as a hypothetical exercise (and it’s old):

You’re driving along beside a river that’s just been flooded due to several days of torrential rain. You see a man clinging to a downed tree in the rushing waters, waving frantically to attract attention. You get out and go toward the river bank and as you get closer you see that the man is Rush Limbaugh!

You realize you have a serious choice to make:

1. You could race for help and probably receive national acclaim for helping to save Rush

2. You could get your camera out of the car and take a potentially prize-winning photo of the man as he struggles for his life

Your main concern: Do you use hi-speed film or a flash?

There is a King who’s eyesight has been gradually failing him. This pains the King for a specific reason: The King has always been an avid hunter. In an effort to not give up his pastime entirely, a servant has been given the job of accompanying the King for the opening of moose hunting season.  
A peasant in a field, familiar with the King’s vision trouble, noticed the King and his servant on a ridge in the distance. Upon seeing the King raise his rifle, the peasant began jumping up and down, waving his arms, and screaming: “I am NOT a moose! I am NOT a moose!”  
The King aimed his rifle, fired, and dropped the peasant with an unlikely headshot.  
The servant said to the King: “Your Majesty, why did you shoot? He said he wasn’t a moose.”  
The King, with a puzzled look, replied: “I thought he said he WAS a moose!”

A guy walks into the doctor’s office. A carrot stuck in one of his ears, a cucumber in the other ear, and a mushroom stuck in one nostril. The man says, “Doctor, this is terrible. What’s wrong with me?” The doctor says, “Well, first of all, you need to eat more sensibly.”
