Graham and Simon's Joke Fest by Simon - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 3:21pm
Have just opened a load of Christmas crackers. Graham: Your starter for ten... (and remember, I must have the answer on my card): "What did the cavemen say when they saw their first flying reptile?"

by Bustard tart - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 3:53pm
"What did the cavemen say when they saw their first flying reptile?" "Wow - our time machine works!" ???

by Simon - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 4:03pm
Bustard tart said: "Wow - our time machine works!" Sorry, correct answer is: "Watch that dino soar." Next: Which moves faster, heat or cold?

by Jellycopter - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 4:31pm
Which moves faster, heat or cold? I'd surmise heat, as anyone can catch a cold.

by Simon - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 4:33pm
Jellycopter said: I'd surmise heat, as anyone can catch a cold. Is the right answer. "What room can you never enter?"

by Pie-lot - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 4:38pm
"What room can you never enter?" Most mushrooms would prove tricky to find an entrance to.

by Simon - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 4:42pm
Pie-lot said: Most mushrooms would prove tricky to find an entrance to. Correct. What do you call a disastrous cat?

by Pie in the sky - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 4:48pm
What do you call a disastrous cat? A cat-astrophe? A cat-aclysm?

by Simon - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 4:57pm
Pie in the sky said: A cat-astrophe? A cat-aclysm? Catastrophe is the right answer. Last one, thank goodness, and it's a trick question: How many sides does a square box have?

by Rich gets in there first - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 4:59pm
Simon said: Catastrophe is the right answer. Last one, thank goodness, and it's a trick question: How many sides does a square box have? 6

by Simon - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 5:00pm
Rich gets in there first said: 6 Wrong. Trick question, remember.

by NEW!!! Lemon boomerang pie - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 5:11pm
Simon said: Wrong. Trick question, remember. There's no such thing as a square box, as a sqaure is 2D and a box is 3D (or more). I suppose though that a sqaure-ish box might be required in Lego cricket.

by Simon - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 5:22pm
NEW!!! Lemon boomerang pie said: There's no such thing as a square box The answer is two: the inside and the outside. Told you it was a trick. Did you hear about the short fortune teller who escaped prison?

by Vertical takeaway and landing - Thu 20th Dec 2001, 6:02pm
Did you hear about the short fortune teller who escaped prison? I did hear something about there being a short medium at large.

by your resident mathmo - Fri 21st Dec 2001, 12:32pm
None - you can't have a square box, on dimensional grounds.

by Can't think of sick alternative - Wed 2nd Jan 2002, 4:53pm
gf said: To get to the other slide. Have you heard about the Miss Muffet diet? You just eat curds and weigh?

by gf - Wed 2nd Jan 2002, 4:57pm
You just eat curds and weigh? Correct. Like any diet, it's a case of mind over platter. Just remember, puns may be merely some antics, but a good pun is its own reword. If you don't pay an exorcist, do you get repossessed? Anyway, have you heard about the cowardly dragon who didn't observe the sabbath?

by gf - Thu 3rd Jan 2002, 9:43am
What's the difference between unlawful and illegal? One means "against the law", the other is a sick bird. Why do gypsies walk strangely?

by Simon - Thu 3rd Jan 2002, 10:12am
Why do gypsies walk strangely? Because they have crystal balls. What has six legs, is big, green, fuzzy and if it fell out of a tree it would kill you?

by gf - Thu 3rd Jan 2002, 11:07am

A man walks into a bar with a tiny amphibian on his shoulder... The barman asks what the amphibian is called, the customer replies "Tiny".

by Mike - Thu 3rd Jan 2002, 12:31pm

by gf - Thu 3rd Jan 2002, 4:17pm
BOO ! is surely much scarier "UPT" might confuse them and, if you said it with enough conviction to persuade them it would come true, would be an uncomfortable prospect. "IBM" might persuade them you are head of the cool bit of the intelligence service and hence not to be messed with. "ICZ" would be a threat to get them in a headlock.

"FRQ" might persuade them that you were an italian mafia person and hence worth being scared of. Alternatively, being confronted by a bloke shouting "SNM" might also be quite frightening (unless it was a very twisted burglar)

by gf - Thu 3rd Jan 2002, 4:28pm

How about shifting the format here to make it rather more interesting? How about posting the punchlines and making us guess the joke...?

by Simon - Fri 4th Jan 2002, 9:20am
Blue-Footed Booby said: How about posting the punchlines and making us guess the joke...? OK then... When I was at school, we all used to sit and watch (and generally mock) Neighbours. In one memorable scene, we cut to the coffee shop to find a group of extras talking: one is coming to the end of a joke, for the only dialogue we hear before everyone starts laughing (at which moment the camera pans away to something more interesting) is the line: "But you'll never guess what! He came back again." So a Bank of England related prize to the person who can contribute in the next week the best joke with the punchline: "But you'll never guess what! He came back again."

So a Bank of England related prize to the person who can contribute in the next week the best joke with the punchline: "But you'll never guess what! He came back again." Hmm. Still nothing better than: "I was really annoyed with a persistent hypochondriac patient of mine, so I gave him some boomerang-shaped placebos and threw him out of my surgery..."

by gf - Fri 4th Jan 2002, 12:34pm
How about posting the punchlines and making us guess the joke...? Et tantis pretiis constitutis, plures macropodidas in hac caupona minime videbis.

by Cristoforus - Fri 4th Jan 2002, 5:45pm
gf said: Et tantis pretiis constitutis, plures macropodidas in hac caupona minime videbis. The grammar will be appalling but here goes: Macropodida caupona intrat et fermentum rogat. Caupo pecuniam velociter facere quit cogitat et macropodidam quinquagintis libris rogat. Tamen adventor homo non esse inusitatus est, itaque curiositas cauponis accresco et "Multas macropodidas in hac caupona non videmus" dit. Who does classics in the club?

by RTT - Mon 7th Jan 2002, 12:20pm
Simon said: joke with the punchline: "But you'll never guess what! He came back again." Two soldiers and their captain were doing some training with their heavy artillery, firing paintballs at another similar group. One soldier was called Private Buttule, the other Private Heek. Heek was at the elevation and direction controls, Buttule loading the gunpowder. Their previous shot had gone slightly wide, but worse than that had only gone half the distance to the target. Suddenly they were almost hit by a large paintball. The captain screamed at Buttule "What do you think that dial reads - Watt or ft lb ?". The confused Buttule didn't know, and hazarded "Watt?". And the annoyed captain replied: "Buttule, never guess Watt. Heek, aim back again".

Inspired, sir. That'll take some beating.

There are many magazines available to aid the consumer in his or her purchasing decisions. If asked to name which of these has the highest circulation, you might think of the popular automobile title What Car?, you might even consider the well-known audio equipment publication What Hi-Fi?, but magazines which rate and review reincarnation stories don't really have mass-market appeal, so... You'll never guess What "He Came Back Again..."?

by Simon - Wed 23rd Jan 2002, 2:52pm
Dartford Warbler said: Inspired, sir. That'll take some beating. Very much so. Tom wins the mystery prize from the bank of England museum - I'll try to remember to bring it up later in the term. Warming to the theme now, there's a Corolla advert with a similar situation - a couple are out on a date, and he's trying to impress her with his wit. But all we hear is the end of the story... so we need to know - for another mystery star prize - which humorous tale would end: "But he said he couldn't make it till Wednesday."

by let's start as contrived as we will inevitably end up - Wed 23rd Jan 2002, 3:26pm
"But he said he couldn't make it till Wednesday." As a piece of performance art, a friend of mine has been using some agricultural equipment to deface huge pictures of the Addams Family...

by Almost believable - Wed 23rd Jan 2002, 5:11pm
"But he said he couldn't make it till Wednesday." When one has rowed for certain boats in the club, one can wear certain pieces of kit. And maybe wearing one's special kit could be referred to as "kitting". And maybe once upon a time, a proud father asked his son to model his new zephyr on the day before the May Bumps started. The son was tempted... But he said he couldn't May Kit till Wednesday.

by or could he??? - Wed 23rd Jan 2002, 5:32pm
The manager had been foolhardy enough to have some pretty bizarre theme days, and was keen to do more (despite the drop in productivity on Turn Up Pissed Thursday and the spate of accidents on Run Around Without Due Care And Attention Monday). In his rather warped way, he wanted to arrange something even more peculiar next time around, but he couldn't make it "Ill Wednesday"...

The punchline to an amusing story as overheard during a pub lunch: "Then she could wear the Churchill costume and no one would know!" Judging by the reaction, a hilarious story, but what the **** could it have been...??!!

Two blokes were arguing over the best material to use to make corn dollies. One favoured the traditional wheat stem, whereas the other preferred the more fibrous broad bean plant. This, he argued, provided much more support, allowing for more complex structures to be built, and hence more realistic corn dollies. The other bloke disagreed as he felt the whole essence of a corn dolly was in its simplicity, and pointed out that the most traditional designs would be impossible to make out of broad bean plants as they are too difficult to bend. He asked his mate whether he could make a convincing limb out of a broad bean plant using just one twist. And the other bloke replied: "No, not with one legume knot".

by Simon - Sun 14th Dec 2008, 11:22pm
There's no such thing as a bad attempt to answer a joke. Indeed, it's the whole point of this thread. This thread traces its origins back to the 2nd May VIII 1999. I sat in front of Graham (we also lived on the same staircase, got mistaken for each other by novices, and I would take over from him as Magpiety that summer). Mike Goodson was in front of me, so it was a bit of a comedy line up in the bows; in front of Mike, stern four were, well, stern. It was a warm summer, and I got into the habit of eating a lolly as I cycled to the BH for evening outings. I would then tell Graham the joke as we got into the boat. He would invariably get the answer instantly, before we even pushed off. Until the day that the question was "What type of pie can fly?". Graham's instant reply was "Jellycopter." Then, mentally blocked by a diversion onto puddings rather than pies, he struggled. For once I felt smug - finally a joke to which he didn't know the answer. During the warm up, other alternatives were offered; all were wrong. By now we were heading for the lock to get over before women's hour started, and were motoring down the reach. I assume that I've won. Suddenly, without warning, I hear a muttered "Bustard Tart?" from behind me. Tragically, it was also the wrong answer - surprising really, as I am sure all four year olds have heard of the Bustard and it would be the ideal punchline for a Mini Milk. Meanwhile I learnt that it's hard to row from Ditton to the lock while giggling.
