Joke sought

Trying some social networking for professional goals here (and Facebook and Twitter). I was thinking it would be good to have a joke at the end of this week's show. If it really catches on maybe it's something we do every week so people have a reason to stay tuned all through the credits. A little bon bon like This American Life does with Torey Malatia at the end. So I'm looking for a joke: something quick, tight, maybe newsy or maybe not, clean. Heard any good jokes lately?

You can never go wrong with "guess what? Chicken Butt!" but that kind of requires two hosts...Maybe you can pick up the rights to the old Mariner's ad with Jay Buhner doing standup and just run him saying "Horse walks in to a bar...Bartender says 'why the long face?' "

Resubmitting my Twitter post...

Parenting is my most rewarding occupation. Sadly though, my grocer will not accept titters, guffaws, & hugs as payment for eggs. But it's OK. The Federal Government is hard at work on a plan to allow my kids' kids to bail me out. So, in the end, parenting is truly the best reward.

Heard this today:

How many hipsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

"I don't know, how many?"

(said as snarkily as possible, with an appropriate head-tilt, eyebrow askew)
"You don't know?"

Doesn't work as well in text, hopefully you get the idea. It made me lol.

Q. What do you get when you cross a brown chicken and a brown cow?

[Punchline must be delivered to the tune of "Bomchicka Wow Wow" a/k/a the joke "sex stuff is happenin'" music in porn movies.]

A. Brown chicken brown cow.

Scott Chicken said...

For the record, in an informal Chicken extended-family poll, the "Brown chicken brown cow..." joke doesn't play to the over 45 set, which is odd since that music is so classically 70s porn. As one cousin said, "You probably like Ira Glass too, don't you..."

Q: "What's the difference between a 'hockey mom' and a pit bull"

A: "A pit bull knows more about foreign policy."

Q.Why did the Teacher turn on the lights?
A.The class was a bit dim!

Wanna find jokes as lame as this one? www.ajokeaday.com

deb said...

Bha ha ha! "...A pit bull knows more about foreign policy." I love it!

Variations on a theme:

Var1: Two guys walk into a bar... which is funny because you'd think one of them would have seen it.

Var2: A guy walks into a bar. "Ouch!" he says.

Q: How many conservative economists does it take to change a light bulb?

A1: None. If the government would just leave it alone, it would screw itself in.

A2: None, because, look! It's getting brighter! It's definitely getting brighter!

A3: None, they're all waiting for the unseen hand of the market to correct the lighting disequilibrium.

Bailout often require a bucket,
Paulson claims we can not duck it.
Both Senate & Congress did try,
But neither did fly.
It seems we've been all told to... um how do I say this...

If all the economists in the world lay down on the Equator, head to foot, they still wouldn't reach a conclusion.

Here are a couple that I stole (reference at the end):

What is the difference between a 12" pizza and an investment banker? A 12" pizza can feed a family of 4.

Or, the definition of an optimist? An investment banker ironing 5 shirts on Sunday night.

Делаю вывод, что у некоторых гардероб стоит огромные деньги, при всем при этом они жалуются на давку в метро, нечистые улицы, коие омрачают их суперобувь и т.п. У меня возникает вопрос: зачем при таком благосостоянии переться в метро в час пик? На работу ездить? Не вижу смысла, все мои удачные знакомые давно не сидят в офисах, работают удаленно. И вообще зачем жить в Москве? Не лучше ли за городом, на свежем воздхе, куда как полезней? Или это пишут те, что живут на окраине в съемной однушке, на всем экономят, но в бренде?

Мамочки, всем привет. Моему ребенку 2 года и 1 мес. подгузники сняли еще полгода назад, на горшок ходит с 1.5 лет приблизительно... Но вопрос вот в чем. Ваши детки до какого возраста могли описаться в штаны и не попроситься или же описаться во время сна в кровать? Ругали и как за это? Что говорили? Вот мой просится, говорит "ка-ка", приносит горшок и пр. писает, на улице терпит, несем все в дом или же кусты. По-большому буквально каждый день просится, но бывает, что может описаться в штаны. Вот стоит, играет, посмотрю, полилось! И не попросился. Я его отругаю спокойно так, укажу на горшок, но отчего так? Или говорит "ка-ка" а сам в этот момент писает, еле успеваем добежать! Сам штаны не снимает, а пытается письку достать из трусов и стоя писать, но не выходит незамедлительно и мочит штаники. Как его обучить снимать штаники? Я ему рассказываю, но он все точно еще не снимает сам, стягивает, но редко. И может сидеть в кроватке, ко сну готовится и втихаря написать( Потом спим мы ночью в подгузнике в случае в случае если в собственной й кровати и утром подгузник абсолютный! А когда ездили на отдых, то в машине и в отеле он вообще никогда не надевал подгуз, мы их не брали и он ночью не писал! Только утром в 6 и потом еще раза 2 в 7 и в 8! Но он спал с нами в отеле, и я ощущала, как он просыпается! Как у вас
