Mountainous JOW #1292

My JOW is a bit later than usual this week because I have been visiting friends and family in Colorado.  I used to be pretty active here in the mountains, but these days I see people out there climbing mountains and doing all those exciting things like ziplining and here I am feeling good about myself, because I managed to get my leg through my underwear without losing my balance.  Here are a few jokes starting with some ones that are mountain related.

Did you hear about the pilot that flew in to a mountain?

Some deep thoughts

Up the mountain, a Japanese asked the wise man: "Master Akira, why does every westerner think that we Japanese all look alike?"

"I am not Master Akira."

 

Time is like a mountain.  It is very difficult to budget

 

Never forget how beautiful the mountains are. You don’t want to take them for granite.

 

I like mountains.

But volcanoes are ash holes.

 

I used to be afraid of rock climbing…

But now I’m feeling a little boulder.

 

Two mountaineers pass a crevasse during a mountain tour.  One climber says to the other: "My travel guide fell into this crevasse last year."
The other mountaineer says: "That is terrible!"
The first mountaineer replies: "No, it was already very old anyway, and besides, some pages were missing."

 

A Swiss mountain guide gave his tourists the final instructions on how to behave when climbing the Matterhorn.

"So when crossing from the summit ridge to the Hörnligrat, you have to take good care that you don't slip. If a mishap should still happen to you, then look to the left after about 100 meters of free fall and you have a fantastic view of Dufour peak on the way down."

 

A Scottish bloke goes on a skiing holiday to Canada. After a hard day on the slopes, he retires to a bar at the bottom of the mountain. After a few whiskeys, he looks up and notices a stuffed animal with antlers on the wall.

He asks the bartender, "What the hell is that?"
The bartender replies, "It's a moose."
The Scottish chap is aghast, "Good Lord!! How big are the cats?"

 

And now for something completely different

 

A journalist asked a Russian soldier

 ‘How is life in Russia?’

‘I can’t complain,’ replied the soldier

 

A king and queen walk into a casino bar.

The bartender says, “Sorry, you’re not 21.”

 

I had to stop my origami classes.

There was just too much paperwork.

 

There’s no point adding an extra ‘s’ to the end of the word ‘needles.’

It’s needless.

 

I was gonna tell a joke about a broken clock…

But it’s not the right time.

 

I thought I managed to fix my friend’s broken microphone.

Still waiting for some feedback.

 

My favorite superhero is Typo Man.

He writes all the wrongs.

 

My friend asked me to finish his drawing of a bird. He had already drawn the head, chest and legs.

To be honest, I just winged it.

 

I hate it when I see an old person…

And then realized we went to high school together.

 

Two unwritten rules of life.

1.

2.

 

Did you hear about that semi-colon that broke the law?

He was given two consecutive sentences.

 

Following the protests, Iran has announced a controversial move to reopen outdoor markets.

Experts have described the move as a bazaar decision

 

The Mafia don of a city dies. His family held a public funeral allowing friends family and enemies to come and pay their respects.

They take it in turns to come up take a handful of earth to scatter and say a few words.

The chief of police takes a handful of earth; scatters it then turns away crying.

The Mafia don’s family turn to each other asking why the police chief was so upset, until

a journalist attending pipes up: “The police chief is upset because he’s got the dirt on him now but never could while he was alive.”

 

In Korea, a man avoided military service every year by failing his health test.
Since he was in perfect health, the official in charge of conscription asked him how he avoided military service.
The man replied, “Why, I don’t know. I always bet the doctor $500 that I’ll pass my medical test, but he always fails me for some reason.”
