I don't want to be working today ... I want to be out swimming in the glorious warmth that is the last of September.

:whine:

Tell me your favourite joke. Bonus points for lampreys.

i don't have any lampreys. but do leeches count?

(i don't have any leeches either.)

That's a great one. :grin: I love meta-jokes.

Edit: by which I mean I love jokes that are very adaptable, like that one ... I guess it's not really a meta-joke; the priest/rabbi/minister one is more of a meta-joke.

i like the jokes below. especially the irishmen one.

Oh man, it would only be better if the tank were made of bricks.

So these two dolphins are sitting at a bar, drinking copiously after a hard day at work. The one dolphin says to the other says, "*click* eh-eh-eh-eh *squeak* ekkkk *assorted clicking and squeaking noises*". The other one turns to him and says, "Dude, you are *fucked* *up*".

Hee hee, awesome. Reminds me of the talking muffin joke ... I feel like it has the same gag, but I'm not sure. ("Two muffins are sitting in the oven. One says, 'I guess we're in for it now,' and the other says, 'Holy shit a talking muffin!'")

[agnoster]

Same principle... but in reverse, I guess. In the muffin joke, the response assumes talking muffins are weird, but you accepted the premise for the joke, wherease the dolphin joke assumes the reader assumes dolphins communicate with squeaks and clicks, but then reveals that, in a world where dolphins go to bars, they also speak english.

It's a heck of a lot more fun to tell in person, of course, because you get to make dolphin noises.

Well, my favorite joke is this one:

A Texan cowboy type is visiting **insert snooty Ivy League school here**, and suddenly realizes he really has to pee. So he stops the first student he sees, and asks, "Hey, man, where's the bathroom at?" The student replies, "Tsk-tsk... at **insert snooty Ivy League school here**, we do not end our sentences with prepositions. Try again, please." So the cowboy thinks for a minute and says, "Okay. Where's the bathroom at, asshole?"

But I also just stumbled upon this blonde joke:

Two blondes went hunting and came across a set of tracks. One said, "Hey, look, deer tracks!" The other said, "No no, they're moose tracks!" Half an hour later, they were both hit by a train.

:laugh: Yeah, I hear that at Harvard they tell that joke about Yale, and at Yale they tell it about Harvard.

a priest, a rabbi and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender looks them over, frowns a little and says "what is this? some kinda joke?"

Meta-jokes are awesome. I feel like they say a lot about the postmodern focus of our generation, actually. :grin:
