Joke Thread

[trinacriabob]

I couldn't believe I once stumbled onto a paperback Seattle joke book, given how it tends to be on the forefront of politically correct protocol.  However, from the cover and its fonts, you could tell it was hatched before that era.

Q:  What do you call an attractive person in Seattle?

A:  A visitor

- - - - -

Q:  What is a Bellevue housewife's favorite position?

A:  Facing Bellevue Square

[trinacriabob]

Q:  How many alcoholics does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A:  Two.  One to hold it and the other one to keep drinking heavily until the room starts spinning around.

Older variation... How many Kennedys and Ted drinks till the room spins.

I don't know if this is true or not, but there was supposedly a debate with Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy in which Ted asked Carter a question.

Carter responded with, "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

It was after "the incident." It would interesting to see if that really happened. One doesn't know if that's just folksy Southern talk (Carter farmed peanuts in Plains, GA) or a scripted jab of some sort.

Joke of that era -

Q:  Did you hear prostitutes are moving away from Washington (DC)?

A:  They don't want to work for peanuts.

[trinacriabob]

Q:  What's the first thing a sorority girl does in the morning?

A:  She goes home.

[trinacriabob]

Heard this one this morning when discussing investment banker types and the "business card scene" from the movie "American Pyscho" ...

Q:  What do you call going golfing instead of going to church?

A:  Christian bail

(I don't golf.  I'm not the best about going to church, either.)

Be like Doctor Strange!

He saw the ending of Infinity War 14 Million plus times and never said a Spoiler!

Q:  What do you call a person who speaks one language?

How many Germans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Just one. Germans are efficient and not very funny.

The second thing I learned in German, and from an Austrian, is:

"die Italiener sind lusting, die Spanier sind leidenschaftlich, und die Deutschen sind grundlich"

(Italians are entertaining, Spaniards are passionate, and Germans are exacting)

I cannot discuss the first thing I learned in German ... here.

I once told a German lady on a Lufthansa flight after landing in Portland when they had the nonstop service about the second thing I learned and she laughed and added, "Eess not only the Spaniards that are leidenschaftlich."  Too much!

A newcomer to Portland arrives on a rainy day. She gets up the next day and it’s raining. It also rains the day after that, and the day after that. She goes out to lunch and sees a young kid and, out of despair, asks, ”Hey, kid, does it ever stop raining around here?” The kid says, ”How should I know? I’m only 8.”

Question:  What do you call two straight days of rain in Portland?
Answer:  A weekend.
________________

It only rains twice a year in Portland:  October through April and May through June.

Question:  What does daylight-saving time mean in Portland?

What did the Portland native say to the Pillsbury Doughboy?
Answer:  Nice tan.

A curious fellow died one day and found himself in limbo waiting in a long, long line for judgment. As he stood there, he noticed that some souls were allowed to march right through the gates of heaven. Others were led over to Satan, who threw them into a lake of fire. Every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into the fire, Satan would toss him or her to one side.

After watching Satan do this several times, the fellow’s curiosity got the better of him. He strolled over and tapped Old Nick on the shoulder.

“Excuse me, there, Your Darkness,” he said. “I’m waiting in line for judgment, and I couldn’t help wondering why you are tossing some people aside instead of flinging them into the fires of hell with the others?”

“Ah,” Satan said with a grin. “Those are Portlanders. I’m letting them dry out so they’ll burn.”

“I can’t believe it,” said the tourist.  “I’ve been here in Portland an entire week and it’s done nothing but rain.  When do you have summer here?”

“Well, that’s hard to say,” replied the local.  “Last year, it was on a Wednesday.”

Balance

For six days God could not be found. Finally, on the seventh day, Michael, the archangel, found Him.

"Where have You been?" Michael asked.

God smiled deeply and proudly and pointed down through the clouds. "Look," He said. "Look what I've made."

Michael looked down, but was puzzled. "What is it?" he asked.

"It's a planet. And I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance."

"Balance? What do you mean?" asked Michael.

Pointing to the different parts of the Earth, God explained. "Over there I've place a continent of black people and there I've placed a continent of white people. Europe will have wealth an opportunity, Africa will be poor. There it will be extremely cold and there it will be extremely hot. Everything is in Balance."

The Archangel was impressed. He pointed out a land area and said, "What is that?"

"That's Washington State," said God, "the most glorious place on earth. It has beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers and streams, hills, forests and plains. The people there will be handsome, intelligent, modest and humorous. They will be hardworking, high achieving, sociable and producers of software."

Michael was in awe and filled with admiration. He asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance."

God smiled. "Yes," He said, "There's another Washington. Wait till you see the idiots I put in that place!"

Things only people from New Jersey get:

1. Our official mascot should be the holy trinity of pork roll, egg and cheese (aka the Taylor ham sandwich). Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried one.

2. We have a peculiar combination of pride and self-loathing about our state identity.

3. We know every which way to commute from New Jersey to Manhattan.

4. We define where we live based on turnpike (or parkway) exits.

5. And by malls. Are you near Cherry Hill, Bridgewater, Palisades, Freehold Raceway or Short Hills?

6. No one calls it “Joisey.”

7. But some of us do have some funny pronunciation. Repeat after us: wudder (water) and begel (bagel).

8. We don’t know how to pump our own gas. And we’re not sorry about it.

9. In some places, people hang out at coffee shops. We hang out at diners.

10. New Yorkers can have their $4 lattes. We’ll take Wawa coffee (and hoagies) any day.

11. North and South Jersey might as well be different states. And Central Jersey has an identity crisis.

12. No, that’s not raw sewage you’re smelling. It’s just Elizabeth.

13. It’s down the shore, people. And no, we’re not talking about that reality show that ruined our rep forever.

14. Cape May is Victorian perfection.

15. It’s where we get our hoagies delivered to us right on the beach.

16. We don’t like Bennys and Shoobies (you know…tourists from NY and PA) crowding our beaches in the summer.

17. But we’re happy to play host to the Jets and the Giants at East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium.

18. In New Jersey, if it moves, there’s a tax on it. Except clothes. So we buy a lot of them.

19. We don’t really believe in the Jersey Devil…but Chris Christie is real.

20. But the Pine Barrens are most definitely haunted.

21. And our Garden State peaches, tomatoes and blueberries are undoubtedly the best in the country.

22. We know better than to make left turns. That’s what jug handles are for.

23. Speaking of jug handles, they’re a rite of passage. And boy is it fun watching out-of-towners trying to figure them out.

24. It’s impossible to avoid toll roads. That’s why we all have EZ-Pass.

25. Atlantic City should be reserved exclusively for bachelorette parties…and the Miss America pageant.

26. We’re not all mobsters and corrupt politicians, as The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire might have you believe.

27. But we do know a lot of guys named Tony.

28. Snooki isn’t actually from NJ.

29. Bruce Springsteen is. He’s called “The Boss” for a reason.

30. And we’ll always heart Bon Jovi

I'll have a #1, please.

but seriously, there is only one place in town I have found that I can buy pork roll. I'm the only one in the house that will eat it though I don't know why.

I think people just object to the name because the same people who turn their nose up at pork roll will go and eat salami or other deli hams.

East Coast Pork Roll AKA Spam on the west coast. I have tried both and like them both.

Take you Pork Roll, cut into little cubes, cook up in a pan till crunchy, drain on a plate with paper towels to dry up and set aside.

Next make creamy Mac N Cheese, then fold in your crunchy pork roll bits and save a little for on top. Serve and enjoy your cheesy goodness with crunch pork roll.

I like this.

I've heard it said that French is the language of love ... and diplomacy

I've heard it said that Italian is that language of art and music ... and, as you say, food.

I'd buy that English is now the language of commerce.

I know that I couldn't get into a groove with those taking Latin in high school.  I will own my fairly high nerdy quotient.  That of those taking Latin was more than I could relate to.

Not really a joke, but a funny story with a joke embedded in it.

When I lived on Atlanta's north side, I would drive to the MARTA station and take the train to work.  (I couldn't believe all the trees ... beautiful.)  A couple of times, I would pass this chiropractor's office that was near a small private college.

This chiropractor had one of those message boards outside with the hanging letters that said "Free Spinal Exam."  The nearby college students would periodically remove some letters so the message would read "Free Sex."  Nowadays, that board would be electronic.  Regardless, I thought those college kids doing that must have had a good sense of humor.

Easy there snowflake. It’s called a joke. 
 

However, it’s amusing that you think it’s somehow okay to be a serial 30 year serial adulterer so long as he being faithful while he’s president (that you know of). 
 

And for the record, everyone with a brain knew that Bill was a horn dog but the GOP decided to spend $50 million (courtesy of the American taxpayer) to prove that he lied about getting a blowjob. I will say this. At least Bill and his dog wife had the balls to testify in person in front of Congress, unlike Mr. Written Answers only.

Let's Look at the Facts. Potus45 cheated not once, but twice and married each cheater woman ending his marriage to the previous wife. He has tried to cover up his Golden Shower fun with prostitutes in Russia, He tried to cover up his affair with Stormy Daniels which is during the his marriage to the 3rd wife. He wants people to believe his lying dialogue of who he is.

Where did Hillary cheat or cause scandal in the white house? Her husband cheated but he was a known hound dog of woman and until he decided to try and cover up the Monica affair, he had not did what Potus45 had done.

Respect is earned and given and that is one thing even as much as the current president has not earned from the public, the position still deserved respect and while there are more jokes that tear the position and him down, this was not a joke that did that.

Yet you had to Degrade woman period with terms that should not be used. You had to find a way to lower yourself in making a joke that could have been funny about her to below her.

I have thought long and hard on this and @ocnblu you have no way to say that you did not on purpose degrade with your joke. 

That is something I did not do. This is all your own doing. Next time hopefully you will think twice as I am all for a joke even ones about Hillary Clinton that can be funny and clean. No need to degrade anyone or oneselve.
