Default Jokes

I'm bored, and in need of some good jokes.

But in the absence of good jokes, here's one of mine:

"My female android went to the Bahamas."

"Jamaica?"

"No, I bought her in Novatech."

Reminds me of a joke that was old when it made its (hopefully) final appearance on the Monkees show back in the 1960s:

"I just got back from Africa where I spent a lot of time playing cards with the natives."

"Oh, Zulus?"

"No, I usually won!"

Hey, you answered your own question! Give that person 100 more jokes equal in quality to the one that the OP inflicted on us!

This isn't a joke, but I came across it in the Top 100 Quotes at Bash.org:

Quote:
<Ben174> : If they only realized 90% of the overtime they pay me is only cause i like staying here playing with Kazaa when the bandwidth picks up after hours.
<ChrisLMB> : If any of my employees did that they'd be fired instantly.
<Ben174> : Where u work?
<ChrisLMB> : I'm the CTO at LowerMyBills.com
*** Ben174 (BenWright@TeraPro33-41.LowerMyBills.com) Quit (Leaving)
There's a lot of good stuff over there, if you don't mind getting "dirty" from time to time. Heh...

A man goes to a psychiatrist and says "Doc, I don't know what's wrong with me. Sometimes I think I'm a teepee and sometimes I think I'm a wigwam." The doc says, "You better lie down. You're two tents."

A man walks into a bar and there is a horse tending it. The man just stands there with a shocked expression on his face.
The horse says, "What! You've never seen a horse tend bar?"
The man says, "No, I just can't believe the cow sold the place".

A gorilla, a giraffe, and a zebra walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says "What is this, a joke?"

Here's a really nerdy math joke, but it still cracks me up.

"Two mathematicians are in a bar. The waitress comes over and hands them their drinks. One mathematicians is complaining about the lack of basic calculus knowledge in today's population. The other one says, 'I bet you $10 that our waitress can answer a calculus question.' Naturally, the first mathematician agrees to the bet. So the other one excuses himself to go to the restroom, but instead goes up to the waitress and says, 'Listen, here's $5. When you come over to the table in a minute, I'm gonna ask you a question. Whatever that question is, I want you to say x to the fourth over four, ok?' She agrees. The man sits back at the table. A minute later the waitress comes over to the table. The second mathematician says to the first, 'ok, ready? Excuse me ma'am, but what is the integral of x cubed?' The waitress looks at the men and says, 'we'll that's easy. It's x to the fourth over four.......plus a constant."

Here is another nerdy math joke. I've heard this many times, but I figured I'd beat toSeek to it.

There was a tribe of american indians. One day a pregnant woman shows up at the tent of the medicine man and says she is in labor. He lays her on a deer skin and prepares to deliver the baby. Before he starts, another woman in labor shows up. He lays her on a deer skin and prepares to deliver both babies. Just then another woman shows up. The only thing he can lay her on is a hippopotamus skin. The whole tribe gathers outside to wait for news on the births. The woman on the deer skin gave birth to a boy. Then the woman on the bear skin gave birth to another boy. Everyone was overjoyed when the third woman gave birth to twin boys. Which only serves to show that the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides.

Thanks for your jokes, everyone. Quite a few have cheered me up no end.

And I might sound like a nerd, but I do enjoy the maths ones!

OK, here's an astonomy related one.

An astronomer is on an exedition to Darkest Africa to observe a total eclipse of the sun when he's captured by cannibals. The eclipse is due the next day around noon. To gain his freedom he plans to pose aas a god and threaten to extinguish the sun if he's not released, but the timing has to be just right. So, in the few words of the cannibal's language he knows he asks his guard what time they plan to kill him.

The guard replies "Tradition has it that captives are to be killed when the sun reaches the highest poinat in the sky on the day after they're captured. Then they may be cooked and ready for the evening meal."

The astronomer thinks "Great, this should work perfectly."

Then the guard says, "But since everyone's so excited about it, in your case we're going to wait until after the eclipse."

40 years ago, the then-current version of that joke would have been even funnier:

Gal:"Is that a slide rule calculating the sum of 2*30 on the C and D scales in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"

My favorite light bulb joke.....



How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb?


Only one, but the light bulb has to want to change.

Q: How many aerospace engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. It doesn't take a rocket scientist, you know.
