Teach Me Something Tuesday #17


Turns out the world’s first joke was a fart joke dating back to 1900 BC. An ancient Sumerian (of Sumer, located in southern Mesopotamia, now Iraq) proverb goes: “Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.” Um, I don’t get it. Farting on someone else’s lap? Kinda funny I guess. Farting on someone else’s pillow? Hysterical. Star Wars fart jokes? Abysmal. But there you have it. The world’s oldest joke.

Teach me something new or tell me your favorite bad joke.

    I’ll start:

    Nacho Cheese.

  2. Hayden says:

    A man and a young boy are walking into the woods at dusk. The little boy starts crying and the man asks him what’s wrong? The little boy looks up at the man and says he is scared. The man looks down at him and says, “You think you’re scared, I have to walk out of here alone in the dark!”

    On your right is a herd of gazelles being chased by a lion.
    In front of you are four deer.
    Behind you are five stampeding horses.
    On your left and right are Ostriches blocking you in.
    What must you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation?

    Get off the merry-go-round.

    (okay, I *suck* at telling jokes…)

  4. Tam says:

    What do you call a dog with no legs?

    Doesn’t matter, he won’t come when you call anyway.

    Yeah, yeah, a comedian I’m not. I don’t get the Sumerian joke either.

  5. DWQ Online says:

    Farting on someone’s pillow? really? Shame!

    (it is kinda of funny though)

  6. polt says:

    A guy is running late for work and speeding to get there. As he speeds over a bridge, he noticed a cop car sitting in the bushes. That cop car comes out and pulls him over. The cop says to him, “Do you know how fast you were going?”
    “I’m sorry officer, but I needed to get to work.”
    “What do you do?” asked the officer.
    “I’m a Asshole Stretcher.”
    “What’s a Asshole Stretcher do?”
    “Well, I start with one finger, and once that’s loosened it up, I go with two fingers, and then three and then four, and then my fist, and eventually the other fist and then I keep working them and moving them and stretching them until I can get the asshole stretched out to about six feet.”
    The cop looks at him in disbelief. “Well…well, what do you do with a six foot asshole?”
    “You give him a badge and a gun and put him in a cop car next to a bridge.”

    Ba-dum-DUM! Thanks, thanks, I’ll be here all week. Try the veal and don’t forget to tip your waiters!

    HUGS…

  7. john says:

    I have a feeling no good can come of this….

    Said the Buddhist to the hot dog vendor: “Make me one with everything.”

    I almost went with the blond joke.

  8. Craig says:

    john: I needed a friend to explain your’s to me. “Read it slow and forget about the hot dog,” he said. And then I got it. Love it.

    Tam: Your’s made me LOL at work.

  9. Tam says:

    Thank you for explaining John’s joke Craig. Not too swift here. Glad I could make you smile.

  10. Dave S. says:

    john: That was hilarious. :-)
    Polt: That was disgustingly funny. :-D
    Tam: That was LOL.
    Craig: That made me laugh with juvenile sincerity. :-P
    Hayden: That was worth repeating to my coworker. :-D

  11. Bernd says:

    And then there was the dyslexic, insomniac atheist who stayed up all night, wondering whether there is a dog

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    Morning in the chicken coop. A hen sees the lots rooster running toward her and starts thinking: What to do? What to do? If I stand still he’ll think I’m a slut. I’m not stupid enough to run away. Well, I think I better stumble.

  12. Dave S. says:

    Hey, I just noticed that this is the 17th TMST. Sheesh — has it been that many already?!

  13. David from Brazil says:

    A boy and a priest are playing ping-pong. The boy misses, and cusses out loud: “Shit!”. The priest admonishes him and tells him he should not say bad words, as God is watching. They play some more, and the boy stumbles and lets his racket drop. “Screw it”. The priest agains warns him not to curse, and the boy goes “yeah yeah, whatever”. After a few more balls, the boy is defeated, and goes “godamn it, what the hell!?”. Suddenly there is a bright flash of light and the sound of thunder, and the priest drops in a blaze of fire to the ground. A grave voice is then heard from the skies…
    “Fuck, I missed!”.

  14. Dave S. says:

    Me: Hey, I have this great joke…
    Co-worker: ::sigh:: I’m not really interested in hearing about your love life, Dave.

    Ouch.

    (It’s funny because it’s true!) (sadly…)

  15. Craig says:

    Bernd: Can you explain the chicken one? I’m a tad perplexed.

  16. Bernd says:

    Rooster wants nookie. Hen wants nookie too, so she doesn’t want to run away, but doesn’t want him to perceive her as a slut. Hence she stumbles to give rooster access to her tender parts. All happy

    sorry, this is my favorite joke and it works better in German.

  17. Craig says:

    Alright, I’m with you Bernd. I’m a little slow! Danke! :-)

  18. john says:

    A man walks into a bar with an octopus and says: “I bet you my octopus can play any instrument in this bar for a free drink.”

    The bartender agrees and produces a guitar. The Man places the octopus on the guitar. It proceeds to feel around the string and then to play a tune on the guitar. The man asks for his drink.

    The bartender says, wait, one more and leads the man and invertebrate to the piano. Again the man places the octopus on the instrument where it feels its way around and begins to play a tune. The man again asks for his free drink.

    The bartender says: “One more!” and leaves for the back room, returning with a set of bag pipes. The man places the octopus on the instrument where it starts feeling its way around. After a few minutes of feeling around the man says “Hey, what gives? You going to play this thing or what?”

    The octopus replies: “Play it? If I can figure out how to get these pajamas off I’m going to fuck it!”

    Craig & Tam: I didn’t get my first joke right away either, but when I did I loved it.
    Hayden: I *love* that joke!
    Dave S.: I’m repeating your joke to my coworker as I type. (the merry go round one, not your love life. Ouch, your coworkers are mean.)

  19. Craig says:

    john: That was brilliant.

  20. Jill says:

    A man walks into a psychiatrist’s office wearing nothing but underwear made of Saran Wrap.

    The psychiatrist looks at him and says, “I can clearly see your (you’re) nuts.”

  21. Lori says:

    HAHAHAHAHA! thank you everyone, these are great!

  22. Dave S. says:

    Jill, that’s hi-larious!

  23. Tam says:

    David from Brazil: That was hilarious. I LOL in my office got caught and had to repeat it. She laughed.

    Dave S: Funny, sad but funny.

    John: The octopus joke is great.

  24. Craig says:

    David from Brazil: That was awesome.

  25. FDot says:

    A man walks into a bar with a giraffe and they proceed to get blitzed. The giraffe drinks so much it passes out on the floor. The man gets up and heads for the door to leave the bar when the bartender yells, “Hey, mister! You can’t leave that lyin’ there!” The drunk replies, “That’s not a lion! That’s a giraffe.”

  26. Dave S. says:

    Does anyone have a derrogatory joke about co-workers? Because I could use a good venting right now… >:(

  27. Tam says:

    CYE Dave. It was too long to post here but good for days when you want to slap someone silly.

  28. Nicky says:

    What’s brown and sticky?!?!?
    A stick.

  29. Chris says:

    A man walks into a bar. He yells, “Ouch! That hurt!”.

  30. josh says:

    Ok why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

    Because it was dead

    Thats my favorite joke ever :P

  31. People in the Sun says:

    What’s blue and red and has three eyes and lives on a tree and eats children?

    A monster.

  32. Craig says:

    This one comes courtesy of my Mom. Person A is the one telling the joke.

    Person A: Why did the elephant wear red nail polish?

    Person B: Why?

    Person A: So it could hide in a cherry tree. Did you ever see an elephant in a cherry tree?

    Person B: No.

    Person A: See how well it works!

  33. Craig says:

    People in the Sun: Love it.

  34. Tam says:

    Josh: Bad, funny but bad. LOL

  35. john says:

    Josh, Nicky and Chris: All hysterical! Oh and FDot too!

    Craig: Now we know where it comes from. Your moms is funny.

  36. john says:

    From my coworker:

    What’s brown and sounds like a bell?

    “DUNG!”

  37. Dave S. says:

    Okay, now, for some reason, I have Huey Lewis and the News in my head singing “I Want a New Drug,” except — thanks to john — the word “drug” has been swapped with “dung”…

    It gives the song an entirely different meaning.

  38. Tam says:

    John: Bad

    Dave: I worry about you. CYE again.

  39. Craig says:

    What is CYE?

    Aw, I liked the Dung one!

  40. perez says:

    A family, little boy, girl, mom and dad, goes to the park with their new puppy. As soon as they get to the park the puppy makes a run for it and is heading for a huge cliff. The whole family runs after the puppy screaming and yelling for it to stop. The puppy is about to go over the cliff when the little girl grabs the puppy by the hind legs. The momentum of the dog carries the little girl about to go over the cliff, the mom catches up and grabs the legs of the little girl but they are about to slip over the cliff, the dad tries to stop them but his momentum can’t stop them and they all fall over the cliff to their death. The little boy catches up, looks over the cliff and starts to cry as he sees his family and dog dead at the base of the cliff. A man runs over and asks the boy what is wrong. The little boy tell him what happens and the man starts to unzip his pants and says don’t worry, your day is about to get alot worse….

  41. Dave S. says:

    Craig: Check Your Email. I just figured it out about two minutes ago. I thought maybe it was a Canadian thing… ;-)

  42. Craig says:

    Dave S: Okay I need to admit something. After I read “Check Your Email” I went and checked my email because I thought you emailed it to me.

    Oh goodness. I can’t believe I confessed to that.

  43. polt says:

    Dave S., perhaps if you cut back on the scat songs, maybe you’re love-life wouldn’t be such a joke that apparently your co-workers think it is?

    Just trying to help, buddy. :)

    HUGS….

  44. Tam says:

    Sheesh you guys are out of the loop. I thought “everyone” knew CYE. Sigh. Hell, maybe it is a Canadian thing. *shrug*

    Do you want me to send them to you Craig? Then I can leave a post saying “Craig: CYE”

  45. Dave S. says:

    Craig: Damn, that was awesome! Checking your email… :-D

    On a day that started good, but has frustratingly been going downhill ever since, that was a spot of laughter that I desperately needed…

  46. Dave S. says:

    Polt: Scat as in “scram!” “shoo!” and “get outta here, ya damn kids!” ? ;-) Hmm…I guess me yelling at attractive young women to get the hell off my lawn and use the damn sidewalk *could* be impeding my love life…

  47. Craig says:

    Or you could turn the sprinklers on to get them off your lawn. I mean, who would want wet skantily clad ladies on their lawn? Geez.

  48. Dave S. says:

    I’m suddenly realizing I’ve been going about this all wrong. I gotta get me a damn sprinkler…fast!!

  49. john says:

    Suddenly I have a desire to do yard work.

  50. Michelle M. says:

    What’s the last thing to go through a bug’s mind as it hits the windshield?
    It’s ass.

    Hayden: Your’s is my fave.

  51. ExAstrisScientia says:

    While doing a vasectomy, the doctor slipped and cut off one of the man’s balls. To avoid a huge malpractice suit, he decided to replace the missing ball with a small onion.

    Several weeks later, the patient returned for a checkup. “How’s your sex life?” the doctor asked. “Pretty good, but I’ve had some strange side effects.” “Like what?” the doctor asked anxiously. “Well, every time I piss my eyes water. When my wife gives me a blow job she gets heartburn. And every time I pass a Wendy’s, I get a hard-on.”

  52. ExAstrisScientia says:

    Two gay guys Bruce and Tom where having sex in the bedroom. Tom was on top and orgasimed first. He then traded positions with Bruce so he could cum as well. Just then the phone rang, so they stopped what they were doing and Tom got up to answer the phone on the condition that Bruce did not orgasm while he was away. Bruce promised. Tom answered the phone and upon entering the bedroom again he noticed that there was cum all over the walls and all over the bed. “Bruce, you promised.” said Tom to which Bruce replied, “Don’t worry, I just farted.”

  53. Craig says:

    ExAstrisScientia: That was disgusting. Hilarious. But disgusting. I LOLed at work again.

  54. ExAstrisScientia says:

    Two dwarfs go into a bar, where they pick up two prostitutes and take them to their separate hotel rooms.

    The first dwarf, however, is unable to get a stiffy. His depression is enhanced by the fact that, from the next room, he hears cries of, “ONE, TWO, THREE…UUUUH!” all night long.

    In the morning, the second dwarf asks the first, “How did it go?”

    The first whispered back, “It was so embarrassing. I just couldn’t get a hard on.”

    The second dwarf shook his head. “You think that’s embarrassing?!!” he asked. “I couldn’t even get on the bed!!!”

  55. Tom and Bruce says:

    ExAstrisScientia, that was supposed to be between the three of us! You promised! We aren’t inviting you over again! See you Friday night, right? :0

  56. ExAstrisScientia says:

    yes, yes, I already picked up the case of paper towels, see you guys Friday :-P

  57. john says:

    ExAstrisScientia: That second one made me spit take!

    Michelle M.: Awesome!

  58. FDot says:

    A man walks into a bar, orders two shots, downs one then pours the other over his left hand. He proceeds to repeat this for 3 more sets of shots. Finally, the bartender stops and says to him: “Buddy, I’m confused. You keep drinking one shot but pour the other over your hand. What’s the deal?”

  59. FDot says:

    Damn…..it posted for some reason.

    Punchline: The man looks at the bartender and says: “I’m trying to get my date drunk.”

  60. Jamie says:

    So these two peanuts are walking through Central Park, and one of them is assaulted.

  61. Tam says:

    Cute FDot.

  62. TwoPi says:

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

  63. Craig says:

    How many?

  64. FDot says:

    I would guess the answer is Zero, they’d rather have a torch.

  65. TwoPi says:

    I guess I’d intended the question to be the punchline as well. (Think of it as a not-tasteless version of “How many Arturians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?”)

    [Arturian = multiple amputee] If you haven’t read it, you’ve GOT to read “Geek Love” by Katherine Dunn.

  66. Craig says:

    Oh, I got it now. Sorry TwoPi. I should have wikipedia-ed Luddite BEFORE asking how many.

  67. Kimi says:

    My favorite is the octopus joke!!!! Also, I love a good fart joke, or just farting in general (unless it comes from my husband in bed). I’m a 36-yr-old wife and mother and nothing makes me laugh harder than Terrance and Phillip. Although Craig, I don’t really get your fart joke….

  68. Danny says:

    A bus load of blacks crashed one night on the highway. They all went to heaven, but when they got to the pearly gates they were told they had to wait. The gate keeper had to go ask god what he was suppose to do, he’s never had a black at the gates before.
    God said, “well if they are here let em in”. A little while later the gate keeper came back and god asked “how did it go?”. The gate keeper said “I don’t know, when I got back they were gone.” God asked “The blacks?” The gate Keeper stated. “No, the pearly gates!”

    Haha, ok bad I know. But I still find it funny.

Tell Me What a Dork I Am!
