You tell a better joke, then ;).

Let's give them a second chance.

Here's something I said the other day when someone commented on my limp:

"I have an appointment to see an orthopedist on Tuesday but unfortunately the referral was for an orthopedic surgeon. I'm worried they'll recommend surgery or worse-I'll actually need it."

The audience enjoys my sense of humor and is a doctor so we know they got the joke but no laugh. I think either A) I botched the delivery B) it was too dark for their taste or C) I've told them too many jokes.

Who's next?

It's hard for me to make jokes. I always sound too serious, and neutral face normally looks angry. So I have to resort to jokes that complement it. Anti-jokes are usually good for it.

A horse walks into a bar. The patrons see the danger in the situation and slowly leave the building. Hah.

Jokes best pulled off with a deadpan face are my specialty

Hop in.







Your joke was worse than that.

After 3 or 4 beers I wouldn't have caught Orthopedist and Orthopedic Surgeon. Soothe audience probably processed it as the same thing.

Unless you were at an Orthopedist convention, I doubt many people caught on. Sounds like a dry Billy Crystal joke.

Couldn't find a video clip....

Stewie: I'm not going to no Jewish school! Sitting around all day with a bunch of short, hairy guys. I'll feel like I'm on the forest moon of Endor.
Chris: Didn't you make that joke the other day?
Stewie: Oh, yeah I just wasn't sure if everybody had... had heard

I was in Munich on business for several weeks, & had weekends to myself to sightsee, etc. One Monday, I told my German colleagues that I had found an easy way to navigate around the city. I had found a street that seemed to go all over town, so whenever I saw that sign I could find my way back to someplace familiar. The name that I kept seeing on signs all over the city was "Ein Bahn Strasse" (which means "One Way Street" in German). Not so much as a chuckle.

A guy goes to the doctor, who comes back with some bad news. "Sir, I'm afraid you have Alzheimer's." The guy says, "Well, it could be worse, I guess ... it could have been Alzheimer's."

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To show the 'possum that it could be done. (Substitute armadillo where appropriate.)

A certain zoo had acquired a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks the gorilla, a female, became very ornery, and difficult to handle. Upon examination, the zoo veterinarian determined the problem: she was in heat. What to do? There was no male of this species available.

While reflecting on their problem, the zoo administrators noticed Mike, an employee responsible for cleaning the animals' cages. Now Mike, it was rumored, possessed ample ability to satisfy any female, and he wasn't very bright. So the zoo administrators thought they might have a solution. Perhaps they could entice Mike to satisfy the female gorilla.

So he was approached with a proposition: would he be willing to have sex with the gorilla for $500. He responded that he was interested but would have to think the matter over.

The following day, Mike announced that he would accept their offer, but only under three conditions: "First," he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her," and "Second, I want any offspring that may result from this union to be raised Baptist."

The zoo administration quickly acceded to these conditions, but what could be the third?

"Well," said Mike, "You've gotta give me another week to come up with the five hundred bucks."

A Kentucky State Trooper was patrolling late at night off the main highway.

He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing.

He carefully approaches the car to get a closer look. Then he sees a young man

behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine.

He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, filing her fingernails.

Puzzled by this surprising situation, the trooper walks to the car and gently raps

on the driver's window.

The young man lowers his window. 'Uh, yes, Officer'?

The trooper asks: 'What are you doing'?

The young man says: 'Well, Officer, I'm reading a magazine'.

Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the trooper says: ' And her,

what is she doing'?

The young man shrugs: 'Sir, I believe she's filing her fingernails'.

Now, the trooper is totally confused.

A young couple, alone, in a car, at night in a lover's lane ...

And nothing obscene is happening!

The trooper asks: 'What's your age, young man'?

The young man says: 'I'm 22, sir'.

The trooper asks: ' And her, .... what's her age'?

The young man looks at his watch and replies: 'She'll be 18 in 11 minutes..

An older woman leaving a store and fumbling with one too many bags, is noticed by a younger man walking in...he stops and offers to assist her to her car. After pointing the way, and as he walked slightly ahead of her she "liked what she saw" as they say, and she figured she should somehow "repay" him his kindness...but at a loss for words and terrible at innuendo, she awkwardly blurts out "I have an itchy p***y".

"Ok that's cool, just point it out... all those foreign cars look the same to me".
