Joke thread

Bless.

It's very sad to see posters getting bitter and resorting to petty taunts. There are two or three saddos who slag me off on here who seem to think they're clever. They're not. They're pathetic.

I don't and won't criticise posters on this thread (other than in an honest / friendly manner.

Remember... It's a joke thread. No-one said the jokes have to be new, or funny.

At junior school, Jethro sat next to his best friend, Denzil Penberthy.

One day the teacher told the class that she wanted them to think very hard, and come up with a poem ending in Timbuktu.

After a couple of minutes, Susan put her hand up, and said, "Please miss, I have one".

The teacher told her to go ahead, and recite it.

"As I was walking on the sand,
I saw a ship not far from land.
It had a very handsome crew.
It’s destination Timbuktu."

Denzil immediately shouted, "She’s a smart shit!"

The teacher told Denzil he was very rude, and it was now his turn to recite a poem ending in Timbuktu.

Jethro told her, "I don’t think that’s a very good idea".

"Shut up, fat guts," said the teacher. "Your poem, please, Denzil".

"Tim and me went down to Kent,
And we saw three women in a tent
We couldn’t think of much to do.
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu."

Interesting... I post on this thread with s view to provoking laughter or cause amusement, ergo I (and many others) are effectively meeting the requirements laid out in that definition.

Some hit, some miss, some good, some bad, but it cannot be denied... other than posts responding to gripes etc, they are jokes.

sorry Lavvy, the OED would disagree in 99% of those you post

That’s in your opinion. You are only one in 8 billion or so people on the planet. If only one person finds a post amusing it qualifies as a good joke.
