It's not personal, [Mr. M.] It's strictly business.

GK and Pirates do not mix all that well
GK is not a natural environment for pirates to live in. Too many rules and sophistication.

Interviewer: Do you prefer sex or chess?
Boris Spassky: It depends on the position.

Hey, don't laugh. That was GK's server that spit out that CD. It had all of Bearz's postings on it.

Not sure if this qualifies as a joke
GK "With all due respect, GameKnot can't be blamed for your team members choosing not to respond. There is a whole art/science about writing engaging posts/messages as well... "

It sure seem funny to me.

@knightgator: I saw that line and thought they lowered themselves a bit to our level rather than staying above the fray. I guess the one responding got a little emotional.

@johnclark: I thought maybe the were trying to be funny, since early mervyn thought someone a GK had a sense of humour.

Erotica
Not too sure if this will lose anything in translation, but for my American friends, for "Port Adelaide", think " My name is Earl"

The ‘50 shades of Grey’ jokes are out there….

50 shades of grey..Port Adelaide style....
 
Even though he only had one tattoo, I yearned for him to fill the lonely hours between Jerry Springer and Days of our Lives.
As he approached me with his pasty white arms hanging out of his Nike vest, his smile told me that it was dole day and I knew that my velour track suit would be hanging off the lampshade tonight.
As I stood in line at the job centre, thinking of reasons why I couldn't work, a sweet smell drifted past my pig like nostrils. It was a mixture of weed, sweat and Lynx Africa!
I turned and there he was, DWAYNE, with his pants half way down his arse, our eyes met and he was soon lifting me onto the wheelie bins behind Woolies.
He had already tied his Staffy to a post in the alley way so we would not be disturbed, there was a tramp watching but it did not bother us, it just added to the mystery.
I knew then that this was love and my life would never be the same again.
I made a promise to him there and then that I would buy him a plasma with the baby bonus.

Wordplay
1.King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates , the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan.

Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it."

"But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested. " Don 't you know who I am? I am the king!"

Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."
---------------------

2. Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers.
Unfortunately, all the Swiss league records were destroyed in a fire, and so we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.

---------------------

3. A man rushed into a busy doctor's surgery and shouted, "Doctor! I think
I'm shrinking!" The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down..You'll just have to be a little patient."

---------------------

4. Back in the 1800's the Tate's Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products, and since they already made the cases for watches, they used them to produce compasses. The new compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California . This, of course, is the origin of the expression "He who has a Tate's is lost!"

----------------------

5. An Indian chief was feeling very sick, so he summoned the medicine man.
After a brief examination, the medicine man took out a long, thin strip of
elk rawhide and gave it to the chief, telling him to bite off, chew, and
swallow one inch of the leather every day. After a month, the medicine man
returned to see how the chief was feeling. The chief shrugged and said,
"The thong is ended, but the malady lingers on."

----------------------

6. A famous Viking explorer returned home from a voyage and found his name missing from the town register. His wife insisted on complaining to the local civic official, who apologized profusely saying, "I must have taken Leif off my census."

----------------------

7. There were three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin, one slept on
an elk skin, and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became
pregnant. The first two each had a baby boy.

The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This just goes
to prove that... the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the
squaws of the other two hides. (Some of you may need help with this one).

-----------------------

8. A skeptical anthropologist was cataloging South American folk remedies with the assistance of a tribal elder who indicated that the leaves of a particular fern were a sure cure for any case of constipation. When the anthropologist expressed his doubts, the elder looked him in the eye and said, "Let me tell you, with fronds like these, you don't need any enemas."

I think Aussie deserves a drum roll after all that

I'll bet the teachers in this club will be using #7 in their classes (or will want to)

I love a good pun... and even bad ones, so those were great, although #7, clever and witty as it is, would be considered racist in these parts. People are offended by the "S"- word and the cultural stereotyping since we have a very significant and visible Native population. The largest urban Native population in North America.

Hi Kneilca
As I'm sure you'll appreciate - coming from where i do - i had no idea that people would be offended by the "S"- word ...I apologise unreservedly if that's the case

My husband's favorite joke...
Have you heard about the corduroy pillows? They're making headlines....

*groan*
kneilca2
28-Aug-12, 16:17

No offense taken, Spudie. There was no way you could know that. And up until recently, it was accepted. Folks are more sensitive, nowadays, I guess.

@zombieslayer1: I loved the pun. Have you ever heard of Tom Swifties? Here's a sample:

"The doctor removed my left ventricle," said Tom, half-heartedly.
Or in honour of Spud:
"I don't have a treaty number or belong to any First Nation Band," said Tom unreservedly.

I'm glad someone likes that stupid joke...
about corduroy pillows! My husband will be so proud  

@kneilca2, I haven't heard of Tom Swifties but I'll have to look him up. I love silly stuff like that!

"That Frenchman didn't even say 'Thank you'", Tom said, mercilessly.

So I was having dinner with Garry Kasporov - Problem was, we had a checkered tablecloth and it took him two hours to pass the salt...
