[QUOTE=Malodorous] The Penguin Joke: Two Penguins are alone on an Ice Flow.

A crew of construction workers is building a tall skyscraper. An oriental man was recently hired to join the crew. After spending a few hours on his first day helping to move some I-beams, the supervisor calls him over and explains that the crew needs some more supplies and directs him toward the supply storage unit. Oddly, 30 minutes pass and the new employee sent to grab more supplies still hasn’t returned. So, the supervisor heads toward the supply storage unit. Suddenly, the new worker appears from behind the storage unit and screams out…SUPPLIES!!! ---

in the interest of not targeting any particular ethnicity or nationality… A large cruise ship mysteriously capsizes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean during a storm far away from civilization. Some of the travelers and crewmembers on board were able to survive by swimming to a nearby small and deserted island. The survivors included two French men and one French woman, two Greek men and one Greek woman, two Italian men and one Italian woman, two Bulgarian men and one Bulgarian woman, two English men and one English woman, two Irish men and one Irish woman, two Chinese men and one Chinese woman, two Japanese men and one Japanese woman, two American men and one American woman, and finally two German men and one German woman After one month: The two French men and French woman were happily living together in a menage-a-trois. The two Greek men were sleeping with each other while the woman worked as their slave doing all the cooking and cleaning One of the Italian men killed the other Italian man so he would have the Italian woman to himself. The two Bulgarian men took one long look at the ocean and looked back at the Bulgarian woman; they decided to start swimming. Each of the two English men was still waiting to be formally introduced to the English woman. The two Chinese men started several businesses together including a restaurant, a pizza stand, a laudromat, and a couple trinket shops. Both men had been busy to get the Chinese woman pregnant so she’d begin to give birth to new future employees as fast as possible. The Japanese men were trying to figure out a way to send a fax or email to Japan in order to get help and intructions. The two German men had devised a strict schedule in order to alternate visits with the German woman. The two American men were contemplating suicide because the American woman kept bitching about her body, the true nature of what feminism is, how she can do everything that they can do, how chores should be equally divided, how the skinny palm trees make her look fat, how the sand makes her hair look like shit, how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her so much better, and how her relationship with her mother was improving until the criuse ship sank. The two Irish men divided the island into north and south and each set up his own coconut whiskey distillery. The Irish woman was unhappy because the two men were perpetually drunk, but the Irish men were happy as long as the English were not. ---

[QUOTE=DanBlather] Here is my favorite: It was just before closing when a man walks into a bakery. “I need a cake decorated” he says. The woman behind the counter says “We are just about to close, the best I can do is pipe a quick word or two on with frosting”. “It’s really, really important” the man says. The woman sees that the man is near tears and says she might be able to help him. The man pulls out a picture and says “it has to look exactly like this”. The picture is of a pretty complicated cake that says “Happy Anniversary” and she now thinks she understands why the man is so desparate. She takes the picture in the back room and goes to work. About 45 minutes later she comes back, wiping her brow and shows the man the cake. He looks at the cake, and then the picture, and then at the cake again. “It’s close”, he says, “but the flowers need to be a little darker”. The woman has spend so much time, that she is bound and determined to get it perfect. She scrapes off the flowers, dyes the remaining frosting a little darker, and re-does the flowers. “It’s perfect!” the man says excitedly, “How much do I owe you”? “That will be $27.50”, she says. The man pulls out $30, says “keep the change”, and picks up the cake. “Let me get you a box” she says. “No thanks”, the man says, “I’ll just eat it here”. [/QUOTE] Um, what? Is this funny? ---

[QUOTE=dnooman] Um, what? Is this funny? [/QUOTE] Yes, because the baker has been working her guts out long after closing time because she thinks the man wants an anniversary cake in a hurry as he has forgotten to get it until the last minute and his wife will be upset - and she goes to extra trouble to make it absolutely perfect. Whereas, after she has done all the do-overs, it turns out that he just wants a cake to eat, and he’s obviously a touch deranged about how it has to look… Funny? I nearly did the keyboard thing! 😃 ---

A lawyer opened the door of his BMW, when suddenly a car came along and hit the door, ripping it off completely. When the police arrived at the scene, the lawyer was complaining bitterly about the damage to his precious BMW. “Officer, look what they’ve done to my Beeeeemer!!!”, he whined. “You lawyers are so materialistic, you make me sick!!!” retorted the officer. “You’re so worried about your stupid BMW, that you didn’t even notice that your left arm was ripped off!!!” “Oh my gaaaad…”, replied the lawyer, finally noticing the bloody left shoulder where his arm once was. “Where’s my Rolex!!!” ---

A magician gets a job on a cruise ship. The ship takes weekly cruises, and the magician does a show every day, so he’s prepared with seven days’ worth of material. The captain’s parrot loves magic acts, however, and attends every show. After the first week, the parrot starts shouting out the secrets to the tricks: “Rawk! He didn’t really saw the lady in half - she’s bending over!” “Rawk! Watch his left hand as he shakes his wand!” “Rawk! The four of spades is tucked into his sleeve!” The magican is furious, but can’t really do anything about it, as it’s the captain’s parrot. One night, a huge storm sinks the ship. At dawn, the storm has passed, and the magician finds himself shivering in the water, the sole human survivor, clutching a floating board. The parrot is sitting on the other end of the board. They glare at each other for a day, then two. Finally the parrot says, “Rawk! I give up. What did you do with the boat?” ---

[QUOTE=The New and Improved Superman] Jesus is walking through Jerusalem one day and sees an angry mob, all with stones in hand, chasing down a wanton woman. Jesus quickly intervenes. “But Jesus, can’t you see this woman is a prostitute and deserves to be stoned to death!” shouts out one angry man. “May the sinless person cast the first stone.” Jesus calmly replies. One by one, all the people in the mob become shame-faced, and guiltily drop their rocks to the ground…all except one old woman, who throws the rock with such force that it instantly strikes the wanton woman dead. Jesus looked at the lifeless woman, and then at the elderly woman, and said in exasperation: “Mom!” [/QUOTE] Nice, but see the next-to-last joke in post #78. ---

What’s with the ostrich?” The man replied, “I also wished for an exotic chick with long legs that would always agree with me.” ---

Three couples went in to see the minister about becoming members of his church. The minister said that they would have to go without sex for two weeks and then come back and tell him how it went. The first couple was older and retired, the second couple was middle-aged and the third couple was young and newlywed. The two weeks went by, and the couples returned to the minister. The retired couple said it had been no problem at all. The middle-aged couple said it was tough for the first week, but after that, it was no problem. The young newlyweds said it was fine until she dropped a can of paint. “A can of paint?” asked the minister. “Yes, a can of paint” said the newlywed man. “She dropped the can and when she bent over to pick it up I had to have her right there and then. Lust took over.” The minister just shook his head and said that they were not welcome in the church. “That’s okay,” said the man. “We’re not welcome in Home Depot anymore, either.” ---

Two Irishmen are sitting next to each other in the pub, when one strikes up a conversation. Hey, friend, you from around here? “No, I moved here, ways back, when I was still in school.” “No kidding, Me Too! When you’d graduate?” “1987” “No Kidding, Me too! When did you move here, then?” “Couple of years before that, 1983 I think.” “No Kidding, Me too! What do you do for a living?” About this time another fellow comes into the bar, orders a pint, and asks the Bartender how the night is going. “Pretty Usual, the McLeary twins are drunk again.” ---
