Here's one from M*A*S*H.

A guy goes to a circus and tells the ring master he wants to join. The ring master asks, 'what can you do?' He says 'watch this' and begins to climb the pole in the middle of the big top.

He gets to the top then dives off. The next thing you know he's soaring every where making circles in the air then finally lands beside the ring master and asks, 'what do you think?' The ring master replies, 'is that all you do? bird imitations?'

Life can be funny if you look for the humor. I was thinking about the wonderful woman that married me just now and thought:

I really doubt her judgment. After all she did marry me. Also she disagrees with me a lot. Is it possible I could be wrong as often as she thinks I am?

But she's soft and sometimes sweet and very beautiful. It's a wonderful life. Happy holidays.

Churchill was at a party and a woman approached him saying, 'Mr. Churchill, you are drunk!' to which he replied, 'and you are ugly, but tomorrow I will be sober.'

"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak."

[EDIT: One more - ]

Little Tim was in the garden filling in a hole when his neighbor peered over the fence. Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to, he politely asked, “Whatcha doing, Tim?”

“My goldfish died,” replied the boy tearfully, without looking up. “And I’ve just buried him.”

The neighbor was concerned. “That’s an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn’t it?”

Tim patted down the last heap of earth then replied, “That’s because he’s inside your cat.”

A kid comes rowing down the River Thames in London, in a boat shaped like a Tyranosaurus Rex skull. He moors the boat, stand up, winces in pain and removes something from the back of his leg. Then he walks down the street, passing two police officers. He hands something to one officer.
"He gave me a bloody dinosaur tooth." One officer says.
The other one looks at it and says:
"My gosh, it is bloody!"

I once was in Mock Trial Club with a witness who couldn't read my handwriting on his cue cards.
"Officer, did you search the lake for the weapon?"
"No, for that we would have needed a scuba... driver."
(Jury bursts out laughing)
"That's 'diver', officer."

Why didn't the skeleton cross the road?
He didn't have the guts!

But they are afraid of Chuck Norris, who may be sneaking up on them.

And since Chuck can see in the dark, he's going to find you whether or not you replaced the darned light-bulb, so why bother?

Another from my favorite stand-up, Mitch Hedburg (RIP)
"So this guy gives me a picture and says, 'here, this is of me when I was younger'.... EVERY picture is of you when you were younger. 'Here, this is a picture of me when I'm older. Dude, where'd you get that camera?!'"
also
"I was walk'n down the street and my friend says, 'Dude, I hear music', as if there's any other way to take it in. I hear music too, that's the sense you use when you want to detect music--you're not special. I tried to taste it once, but it didn't work."

Why does a chicken breast fall from the sky better than a chicken wing?

Because it's a little meatier.

(Say it out loud.)

Why are you trying to get me to say 'breast' out loud?
