National Tell a Joke Day

Smile, laugh, scoff, or awwww… but tell a joke… or two.

 

A man went into a seafood restaurant and asked for a lobster tail.

The waitress smiled sweetly and said, “Once upon a time there was this handsome lobster…”

 

“Doc, I can’t stop singing the ‘Green, Green Grass of Home.”

The Doctor replied, “That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome.”

I asked, “Is it common?”

He answered, “It’s not unusual.”

 

Why don’t pirates take a shower before they walk the plank? They just wash up on shore.

 

According to unofficial sources, the new, simplified income tax form has only 4 lines.

What was your income for the year?

What were your expenses?

How much do you have left?

Send it in.

(Though it sounds like it could have been told now, that ditty appeared in Readers Digest back in 1945.)

 

A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Hey! Did you know there’s a drink named after you?”

The grasshopper replies, “Really? There’s a drink named Stan?”

 

And just to prove that I’m an equal-opportunity-insulter:

 

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says, “Ugh! That’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen!”

Fuming, the woman walks to the rear of the bus and sits down. She says to a man next to her, “The drive just rudely insulted me.”

The man says, “You go up there and tell him off. Go on, I’ll hold your monkey for you.”

 

Laugh or cringe… I’ll be here all week!
