I like the old Russian Jewish joke, where Mendhlsson tips his hat and replies “Mendhlsson.”

My favorite one is the one that ends with “I shouldn’t have been in the goddammed play in the first place!”

Been telling it since I was in Grade 4.

Pardon me, but are these “synopses”, or just random elements thrown because we all wanna play like we’re arch little SD hepsters? 'Cos…um, I’d like to know the punchline. Or, the joke. Whichever part is enexplicably missing. Pity me, I’ve not memorized every funny I’ve heard since age 6.

My favorite joke, which is a dirty joke that I changed to G-rated to my own endless amusement:

A farmer and his son are standing on a hill looking down on their herd of cows. The son says ‘Hey, dad! Let’s run down the hill and milk one of those cows!’  
The farmer says ‘No, son. Let’s WALK down and milk them all.’

In physics class, I heard that protons have mass  
then I thought  
I didn’t even know they were Catholic  
----------or----------------  
A Physics Student, a Mathematics student, and a Geology Student were each given $150 dollars and were told to use that money to find out exactly how tall a particular hotel was.  
All three ran off, extremely keen on how to do this.  
The Physics student went out, purchased some stopwatches, a number of ball  
bearings, a calculator, and some friends. He had them all time the drop of ball  
bearings from the roof, and he then figured out the height from the time it took for the bearings to accelerate from rest until they impacted with the sidewalk.  
The Math student waited until the sun was going down, then she took out her protractor, plumb line, measuring tape,and scratch pad, measured the length of the shadow, found the angle the buildings roof made from the ground, and used trignometry to figure out the height of the building.  
These two students bumped into the Geology student the next day, who was nursing a really bad hangover. When asked what he did to find the height of the building he replied: “Well, I walked up to the bell hop, gave him 10 bucks, asked him how tall the hotel was, and hit the bar inside for happy hour!”

the idea isn’t to tell your favourite joke. it’s go give a brief description of the joke.

you don’t reveal the punchline, just enough for people to wonder about it.

here’s another one.

I like the one about the bartender who won’t serve the crab.

I like the one about the ag school grad who sees a farmer holding a big sow up so she could eat apples.

The top golfer is black, the top rapper is white, and…
