I have picked out some jokes
that I found humorous. Some are short, some are lengthy. All I think are
enjoyable and worth a moment's time to read.
A chicken
walks into the library and walks up to the librarian and says,
"Book."
The
librarian says, "You want a book?"
"Book."
"Any
book?"
"Book."
So the
librarian gives the chicken a novel and off it goes. But an hour later the
chicken comes back and says, "Book-book."
The
librarian says, "Now you want two books?"
"Book-book."
"So she
gives the chicken two more novels and it leaves but it comes back later.
"Book-book-book."
"Three
books?"
"Book-book-book."
So the
librarian gives the chicken three books, but she decides she'll follow the
chicken and find out what's going on. The chicken goes down the alley, and out
of town and towards the woods and into the woods and down to the river and
down to the swamp and there is a bullfrog.
The chicken
sets the books down by him and he looks at them and he says, "Reddit,
Reddit, Reddit."

Teacher:
Class, it's an interesting linguistic fact that in English, a double negative
forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double
negative is still a negative. However, there is no language in which a double
positive can form a negative.

Sven and Ole
went out duck hunting and they worked at it for a couple of hours. Finally
Sven says, "I wonder why aren't we getting any duck, Ole?"
Ole,"I
don't know. I wonder if we're throwing the dog high enough."
Sven,
"So Ole, I see you got a sign up that says Boat For Sale. But you don't
own a boat. All you got is your old John Deere tractor and your combine.
Ole,
"Yup, and they're boat for sale."
Ole was
fishing with Sven in a rented boat. They could not catch a thing. Ole said,
"Let's go a bit furder down stream." So they did and they caught
many many monstrous fish. Since they had their limit, they went home. On the
way home Sven said, "I marked da spot right in da middle of da boat,
Ole."
Ole,
"So tell me how you know we'll get da same boat next time?"

"Well,
you know, the koala tea of Mercy is not strained."
Recently a
Frenchman in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the
Louvre. However, after planning the crime, getting in and out and past

obvious error, he replied, "I had no Monet to buy Degas to make Van
Gogh."
At
a high school in Minnesota , a group of boy students played a prank. They let
three goats loose inside the school. But, before turning them loose, they
painted numbers on the sides of the goats: 1, 2 and 4.

you thought there was nothing
to do in Minnesota!
