What's your best/worst joke? (1 Viewer)

Even we have movies here where someone will act in a strange way, and a guy will say "he's probably French". Older movies, mostly, as nowadays you can't say anything that might offend any class of people of course!

Watched an older movie recently where this kind of dialog happened. In the Matthew Broderick Godzilla movie (1998), French actor Jean Reno took a supporting role with a lot of screen time. He's a member of a French Foreign Legion commando group. At one point, he discharges an automatic weapon and another character asks "Where did you get this guy?" ... To which Matthew's character says, "Oh, he's French." And that was enough to end the conversation!

The fun must have been persuading the dog to NOT eat the bread as soon as they brought it to its face.
 
The Welsh are known for having long complicated names.

Two police officers were responding to a report that a body was on the road. When they got there there was a dead man lying on the street. One cop asked the other how the street was spelt. Both didn't know how the street was spelt. So they carried the body around the corner where they could spell the street name.
 
Adam, Welsh language names can be a bit much. If the incident occurred at the corner of Cwmrhydyceirw and Skokholm, which street name would you want to have to write down - if you weren't a Welshman yourself?

In New Orleans, a similar problem would be represented by having an incident at Jackson Avenue and Tchopitoulas Street. (Legit street names that actually exist and that intersect near the east bank of the Mississippi River, where Tchopitoulas is the street that parallels the river.)
 
@Cronk - there was this one incident where someone with the handle @conception_native_0123 was found deadpan - right on the corner. The @The_Doc_Man was called but he said he did not have the right qualifications to do anything except record the street name - he looked at the sign and said eh! and walked away.
 
Oh, that's not true. I would at least have said goodbye to Adam before walking away. The "Eh!" part, however, might have been correct.
 
A guy was sentenced to prison. On his first day in the exercise yard, he noticed a group in one corner of the yard and every so often they burst out in laughter. He wandered over to the group and saw one of the group saying '53' and then there was spontaneous laughter. Someone else said '45' which also resulted in more laughter.

He asked the person next to him what was happening with the numbers and laughing and was told that because they had been in prison a long time, they all knew the jokes and each number stood for a different joke and it was quicker to tell the joke by the number.

The newbie asked if he could tell a joke. When he said '64' he was met with silence instead of laughter.

He asked if joke '64' was perhaps not funny and was told it was one of the funniest jokes.

Then he asked 'why isn't anyone laughing' to be told that it was one of the funniest jokes but it was not the joke but the way he told it.

Interesting artical about what government can and can't do. It's a bit longish, but worth the read.
