Here's a little joke I made up

Postby MightyAstro » 14 years ago

There are two mountain climbers who have made it to the top of a big mountain. One male and the other female. While they are sitting down with their knapsacks by their sides their friend, another male climber is preparing to join them at the top.

Suddenly there is a dreadful scream. The lady climber cries "Oh goodness! The rope's come undone and Jack's falling off the mountain! Poor Jack!"
"Oh poor Jack indeed" says the other male. Then he adds, "But you had better watch your step very closely when we're ready to climb back down Jill."

It would make more sense with a comma between 'down' & 'Jill.' :D

Sorry Jeffbert. I'm very good at spelling but where to use commas is a little bit of an unclear point for me.

That aside I'm so pleased you like my joke. :)

Would anybody like to share some other funny jokes in this thread? :lol:

I didn't comment because I just didn't get it. Somehow, I have a feeling that it has something to do with English not being my first language. Something escapes me. That, or I'm dense. :eek:

Oh. Well for those who can't understand I was inspired by the old Mother Goose rhyme "Jack and Jill".

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown (meaning his head)
And Jill came tumbling after.

That's the old nursery rhyme. So you see the male climber named Jack fell off the mountain and the other male climber told his female colleague Jill that she'd better be very careful she doesn't fall down after Jack. Just like the Jill in the nursery rhyme.

I hope that makes it a little more clearer to you Astro Forever. :)

Ah, I see. I had never heard of that before, so I really had no way to get it. Thank you, no need to scratch my head anymore. ;)

I just heard this joke. If you are in a room with no doors or windows. And all you have in the room with you is a table and chain saw. How do you get out? I'll post the answer later. lol

A short synopsis of the relativity theory:

When 3 people are inside a room and 4 people are leaving, 1 person has to go inside the room again in order to have nobody in there.

Sorry about the double post, here is another silly one:

One day, father Jimmy went with his son Alvin visiting the local zoo. As they strolled along the ape park, suddenly Alvin called his dad's attention: "Look dad, this ape overthere looks very similar to uncle Theo!"
Father Jimmy, somewhat of embarrassed by the words of his son, admonishes him: "Watch it, sonny, you mustn't say such a thing, that's an insult you know...".
Son Alvin: "But dad, no reason to be worried about it, in fact the ape can't hear me across this distance...".

Or:

The day mince got invented was the same day as they've put an ejection seat into a helicopter.



...llaaammee, lllaammee..... I know! :blush:
