Cheers Burpo 😃

Couple of other random ones.

What’s the difference between roast beef and pea soup?

Anyone can roast beef.

What has four legs and one arm?

A happy pit bull.

Why didn’t Cuba have a team in the Olympics?

Because, any Cuban that can run, jump, or swim already lives in America.

And to round out some of the baby jokes just to really lower the tone:

How do you get 100 babies in a bucket?

with a blender

how do you get them out?

corn chips

How do you make a baby float?

one glass of root beer and 2 scoops of baby

Thank you, when I said I wanted to be a comedian people laughed at me. Well, no one is laughing now.

My post from the older thread [Once more with feeling- TRULY AWFUL JOKES!!!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=161527):

One day in the Vatican, a cardinal ran up to another cardinal and said, “I just had the greatest idea! Even better than the Virgin Birth!”

“Okay, let’s hear it.”

“Joshua, son of Nun!”

“I don’t get it.”

The first cardinal then realized they were speaking in Italian, where the pun doesn’t work.

# From email just now:

TWO CATHOLIC PARROTS

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him,  
‘Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know to say one thing.’

‘What do they say?’ the priest asked.

They say, ‘Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?’

‘That’s obscene!’ the priest exclaimed, then he thought for a moment…‘You know,’ he said, ‘I may have a solution to your problem.  
I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible…  
Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we’ll put them in the cage with Francis and Peter. My parrots can teach your parrots to pray and worship,  
And your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time.’

‘Thank you,’ the woman responded, ‘this may very well be the solution.’

The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest’s house…  
As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage holding rosary beads and praying…  
Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them…

After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison:  
Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?’

There was stunned silence…Shocked, one male parrot looked over at  
the other male parrot and says,  
‘Put the beads away, Frank, our prayers have been answered!’

Are these jokes popular throughout the state, or more just among rivals to Texas A&M?

I lived all over Texas, in small and large cities, and I heard Aggie jokes everywhere. I don’t recall them being told out of meanness or true derision - more to poke fun. My best source was my ex-father-in-law, who loved them. He was raised in Dallas and went to college out-of-state, so in his case rivalry had nothing to do with it.

I think most Texans recognize A&M as an excellent school, especially their College of Veterinary Medicine.

One more…

What’s charred, black and smokes?
