A piece of string walks into the bar and jumps onto a stool. “Give me a beer” “Get out of here we don’t serve string in here.” So he dropped down and went on down the street, entered another bar and asked for a beer. "Get out we don’t serve drinks to string in here. So he went on down the street. Saw an alley and stepped in and tied himself into a knot. Then he reached up and frayed the top. Down the street and into a bar. “Give me a beer.” “Are you a piece of string?” “No I’m a frayed Knot!”

My sister who is now 55 has Down’s Syndrome. One of the only jokes she tells and finds funny is being in a restaurant or store and seeing the Open sign from the other side and saying “We cannot go out side because, look it is closed out there!”

I don’t get it. Shouldn’t that help him find his way out if he’s dyslexic?

But some really sucked. I remember “who conquered the world?”–“Alexander the Grape” (and it was NOT “who’s purple and conquered the world?”, or anything like that. Either that or it was, and I just don’t remember correctly).

A man walks into a bar and orders a whiskey. The bartender says “But I thought you didn’t like whiskey.”

The man says

“I’ve just had a heart transplant. I guess I had a change of heart.”

What a coincidence, my great-grandfather also died in the Holocaust!

He was walking beneath a tower when another guard fell on top of him.

We had a similar thread more recently than 2005, because I recall contributing this:

Man walks into a psychiatrist’s office naked, his body covered only in cellophane.  
The psychiatrist tells him, “It’s quite evident to me that you suffer from a mental disorder!”
