A circus performer is driving home after a long day of training, when he is pulled over by a police officer for a broken light.

The officer looks in the car and sees a collection of knives in the backseat.
“Sir,” he says, “Why do you have all those knives?”
“They're for my juggling act,” the circus performer replies.
“I don’t believe you,” says the cop. “Prove it.” So the performer gets out of his car and begins juggling the knives flawlessly.
Just at that moment, a car with a couple of guys in it drives by. "Wow,” says one to the other. “I’m glad I quit drinking. These new sobriety tests are hard.”

 

A couple of leftover grandparent jokes lto wrap it up

Two grandparents are having a phone call talking about their family. One grandparent talks about how proud she is that her granddaughter came to visit her while socially distanced

The other said - “my grandson is so protective of me. He socially distances so much he won’t even call me!”

 

Timothy was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. He had just turned 3 years old, and his parents were happy to get a weekend off. His grandparents were very religious people, and did not care for foul language. Grandma Betty Lou and her friends, Gabby, Millie and Martha had taken Timothy to the playground. Timothy was sliding, swinging ang enjoying himself. Granny Betty Lou was proudly showing off her grandson to her friends, when Timothy suddenly shouted "Grandmother, I need to take a piss!". Betty Lou hurried over to Timothy, as fast as her arthritis-ridden legs could carry her, afraid she would have to sit alone at church, having a grandchild with such foul language.

"Oh, Timothy" she said. "Don't speak like that!".

"But I really have to piss, grandma!" Timothy replied.

Betty Lou patted Timothy on the head and said, "If you have you pee, just say you have to whistle, and I'll take you to the toilet, dear".

Fortunately, it seemed like Gabby, Millie and Martha didn't catch Timothy's rude outburst. They went to the toilet and Betty Lou's perfect grandson-image was saved.
Later that same evening, Timothy was neatly tucked in. Grandpa Harry and Grandmother Betty Lou had been watching TV and Betty Lou was completely knocked out after running after Timothy all day in the park. "Grandma!" Timmy shouted. Betty Lou was fast asleep, so Grandpa Harry went to check what he wanted.

"Grandpa. I need to whistle".

Harry looked a little confused at Timothy and said "No, it's time to sleep now, Timmy. We can whistle tomorrow if you want".

"Oh, but I really need to whistle now!".

Grandpa Harry was firmer in his tone "Timmy, you can't whistle now, grandma is sleeping. You'll wake her". But Timothy was very persistent and kept on begging his grandad. Finally, the old man sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "Ok, Timothy, whistle into my ear then"...

 

Bar None #1245

 The ‘walks into a bar’ genre of jokes is well known.  It is always nice to have one simple joke memorized in case someone asks you to tell a joke.   My default joke is:  Two molecules walk into a bar.  One says, ‘I think I lost an electron’.  The other molecules says, ‘Are you sure?’ to which the first replies, ‘Yes, I’m positive.’ 

Most ‘walks into a bar’ jokes are short and silly like that one, but I am including a number of longer ‘bar jokes’ just for variety.

 

A priest, a rabbi and a vicar walk into a bar. The barman says, “Is this some kind of joke?”

 

A rabbi walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, “Where did you get that?”

The parrot says, “In Brooklyn, they’re everywhere!”’

 

A priest, a minister, and a rabbit walk into a bar.  The bartender asks, ‘what will you have.’

The rabbit says, “Nothing for me, I’m just a typo.’

 

A ghost walks into a bar, the bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve spirits.”

 

C, Eb, and G walk into a bar. The bartender, upon seeing them, says “sorry, we don’t serve minors.”

 

A snake walks into a bar. …

The bartender says, “How the hell did you do that?”

 

A very bossy man walks into a bar. He orders everyone around.

 

Helvetica, Times New Roman and Calibri, walk into a bar. The bartender says, “We don’t serve your type.”

 

A guy walks into a bar and asks for six shots of the establishment’s finest single malt scotch. The bartender sets him up, and the guy takes the first shot in the row and pours it on the floor. He then takes the last shot in the row and does the same.
The bartender asks, "Why did you do that?" And the guy replies, "Well the first shot always tastes like crap, and the last one always makes me sick."

 

Guy walks into a bar, grabs a seat and orders a whiskey double, neat. The bartender prepares his drink with great delicacy and brings it right over.

The gentleman reaches into his blazer searching frantically. This catches the bartender’s attention, so he monitors the patron out the corner of his eye. Finally, the man finds what he’s looking for and sighs a sigh of relief.

He pulls out a straw and takes a sip of his whiskey. The perplexed bartender grabs his attention, “I’m terribly sorry sir, was your glass dirty?”

To which the man replies surprised, “Oh no no everything’s fine! I just promised my wife I’d never put my lips on another glass of whiskey again.”

 

A man walks into a bar and sits down and orders a drink. Bartender says, “I’m sorry sir, you already seem very drunk, I cannot serve you.”

Guy gets up and leaves.

A few minutes later, he comes in again, sits down at the bar and tries ordering another drink.

“I’m sorry sir, but I cannot serve you because you already seem drunk. Please leave.”

Guy gets up, grunts and wanders off again through the same exit.

Another few minutes goes by and the same guy comes back in, sits down and tries to order yet another drink.

“SIR, I’VE ALREADY TOLD YOUTWICE BEFORE THAT YOU’RE TOO DRUNK AND I CANNOT SERVE YOU.”

Dude looks at the bartender all surprised and slurs:

“How many bars do you work at?!!!”

 

A bartender is sitting behind his bar when a well-dressed but obviously intoxicated man stumbles in.

“Bartender! A drink for everyone, a drink for me, and a drink for yourself!” The man yells as he approaches.

Bartender pours all the drinks, the whole bar cheers, they all drink. Bartender hands the bill to the man, and he just shrugs and says, “Oh I didn’t bring my wallet with me tonight, sorry.” The bartender proceeds to beat the living daylights out of the man and throws him out.

bartender just can’t believe his eyes when he sees the man return.

“Bartender! A drink for everyone, and a drink for me!” The man calls out as he approaches.

Bartender is fuming and grins sardonically: “What, no drink for ME tonight?”

The drunk looks at him and says: “Nah man, you get way too violent when you drink.”

 

A guy walks into a bar and orders six shots. Before the bartender even returns with the check, the man has slammed back half of them and shows no signs of slowing down. As the guy finishes his final shot, the bartender asks, "Why are you drinking so fast?"
The guy wipes his mouth and replies, "You would be drinking fast, too, if you had what I had." The bartender asks, "What do you have?"
The guy says, "75 cents,” and runs out the door.

 

And finally,

 A man walks into a bar and orders a whiskey. When the barman serves it up, he takes it out to the bench in front of the bar to drink it.

As he’s enjoying his drink, a nun walks by, and glares at him sourly. “How can you pollute your soul with the Devil’s drink like that?” she asks.

The man shrugs. “It’s not the Devil, it’s just whiskey.”

“But it’s sinful and wicked!”

“How do you know it’s so bad, then? Have you ever tasted whiskey?”

“Of course not! My sisters and mother superior told me how evil drink is.”

“But how do they know? Have they ever had a drink?”

They go back and forth like this for a while, before at last, the nun relents. “Well, I suppose that if I were to try a sip of whiskey, I would better understand how it corrupts the soul. But it wouldn’t do for any of my sisters to come by here and see me drinking. Could you order me one in a teacup?”

The man agrees this is fair and walks inside to the barman.

“Two whiskeys, but put one in a teacup, please.”

The barman slams his hand down on the bar and shouts, “Is that damn nun out there again!?”

 

Grand Old JOW #1244

 I enjoy my role as a Grandad.  The only issue has been keeping up with the little rascals as they get bigger and faster, and I get bigger and slower.  I have a bunch of Grandparents jokes this week, some from my memories of my own grandparents and some from my current experience.  I hope you enjoy them.

 

 

What does grandpa do when you tell him to change his hearing aid?
He doesn't listen.

 

Shoutout to my grandparents

Because that's the only way they can hear me

 

Why do grandparents smile all the time?
Because they can't hear a word you're saying.

 

My grandma got a new hearing aid.
“It was $500,” she said.
“What kind is it?” I asked.
“Ten-o-clock.”

 

"I’ll never forget my granddad’s last words to me just before he died. “Are you still holding the ladder?”

 

"I remember the last words my other grandpa said before he kicked the bucket. "Hey, how far do you reckon I could kick this bucket?"

 

I asked my grandmother how she’s enjoying her new stairlift. She said, “It’s driving me up the wall.”

 

This morning, my grandpa walked into my room with a young guy with a goatee, eating avocado toast and wearing skinny jeans.

I said, “Who is this guy?”

My grandpa said, “My hip replacement.”

 

"My grandpa is 95 years old, and he doesn't even use glasses. He drinks straight from the bottle."

 

Grandma yells across the room: "Billy, what's the name of that German guy who drives me crazy?"
"It's Alzheimer, grandma".

 

My grandpa's last wish was that when he died, we convert his ashes into a diamond. That's a lot of pressure.

 

My grandpa would always say, “When one door closes, another opens.” He was a good man, but a lousy cabinet maker.

 

"My grandpa always used to say to me, “Fight fire with fire.” It’s no wonder he got lost his job as a fire fighter.

 

My dear old grandmother always used to say that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. That's why she lost her job as a cardiac surgeon.

 

My late grandpa used to hate looking in the mirror. Humble man; terrible driver.

 

Today I went to visit my dead grandparents, but I accidentally visited the wrong tomb

It was a grave mistake

 

Why was grandma so fascinated by a reversible sweater she was knitting?

She said, "I want to see how it turns out."

 

The rest of my family did not support the woman’s decision to have a baby, but her grandparents supported her decision.

They are great grandparents.

 

My grandfather was a baker in the Navy. He went in all buns glazing.

 

On her death bed, the last words that my grandma told my grandpa was, “Honey, I’ll see you in heaven!” Since then, he hasn’t been to church once.

 

What do you call a walking stick that makes grandma walk faster?
A hurricane.

 

What do you call having your grandma on speed dial?
Instagram.

What kind of birthday cake does Grandpa like best? An old-fashioned one.

 

What happened when grandma accidentally dropped the basket of ironed laundry? We watched it all unfold.

 

My Grandparents were Trekkies, and named my father after their favorite Captain when I was young, I was frequently hoisted by my own Picard.

 

Mitzi came back from a weekend at her grandparents' house and told her mom she's never staying there again. "They just sat around the whole weekend and had nothing on!"

"Nothing on!," her mother cried out in horror.
"Yes," said Mitzi, "no TV, no computer, no Xbox..."

 

What is worse than a Dad Joke?  A granddad joke:

One Sunday, little Johnny's grandpa asks him a question, "Do you know what one eye said to the other eye?"
"No, grandpa."
"It said, between you and me, something smells."

 

“Back in the day,” a grandfather started to say, “You could walk into a grocery store with $2 in your pocket, and walk out with a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a bit of butter as well.”
“But nowadays,” he continued, “Wherever you go, there are cameras.”

 

Why do I spend only one hour with the grandchildren?
Because one hour with them and I feel like a kid again, more than that and I start feeling drastically old.

 

A five-year-old wanted to know who is heart and why did they attack her grandparents?

 

My grandmother was a very tough woman. She buried three husbands, and two of them were just napping.

 

"My grandmother ate spaghetti everyday… Until she pasta-way."

 

A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived.
“Oh,” he said, “she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we’re done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.”

 

What does a grandmother and a website have in common?
You can't deny the cookies.

 

How do kids tell you their grandparents called?  Depends on the generation.

Millennials: Gramps called.
Gen X: Granny called.
Gen Z: Grandmother called.
Kids now: Boomerang.

 

A man walked into his grandparent’s house and caught his grandad kissing a beautiful blonde woman on the sofa.

"Grandad," I said, "You promised me that you'd spend your retirement money on the surgery that you said desperately needed."

"I did," he replied, "Doesn't your nan look great!?"

 

And finally….

A child is visiting his grandparents.

While there, he says to Grandpa:
“Grandpa, tell me a story about Vietnam again.”
The old man says:
“It was May 1969, near Khe Sanh. I was in a chopper with four other Marines. 

Some gook shot the pilot, and the helo crashed. We survived, but Charlie was waiting. And there we were, five guys facing some fifty Vietcong...”
The child interrupts:
“But the last time you told me that story, there were only 20 Vietcong!”
Grandpa says: “You were too young then to know the horrid truth!”

 

 

Dog Daze JOW #1243

The hottest days of the year are known as the ‘Dog Days of Summer.’  I have made no secret of how much I hate the cloying humid heat of East Texas, and August is the worst of it.  However, since they are called ‘dog days’ every year I use the time to have a dog-themed set of jokes.  Here are mine for this year.

 

Me: What dog did you get?

Friend: Husky

Me: (In a low voice) what dog did you get?

 

Greyhound dogs never end up catching the rabbit. Every dog has a bad hare day.

 

What did the dog say to the tree? “Bark!”

 

It was raining cats and dogs last night, I nearly stepped in a poodle on my way out.

“We’re eating dinner soon. Don’t fill up on homework.” — Dog mom

 

I tried to trick my dog into eating a healthy snack, but he didn’t bite.

 

My friend says her dog will retrieve a ball over a mile away, but that sounds far-fetched to me.

 

I can't take my dog down to the local pond anymore, because the ducks keep attacking him. It's my fault for choosing a pure bread dog.

 

Before a dog trainer met with a new client, she had her fill out a questionnaire. One question asked, “Why did you choose this breed?”

The client responded, “I often ask myself this very same question.”

 

Dog jokes are cheesy, so let’s do some cheesy Knock Knock jokes.

Knock, Knock

Ooze.
Ooze who?
Ooze a good boy? You are!

A dog owner’s version of Dr. Seuss’ “Oh the Places you’ll go”

“You’ll go on the sidewalk; you’ll go on the lawn.”

“You’ll go when its dusk, you'll go when it’s dawn.”

“You’ll do your business on dirt, grass, and sand.”

“And they’ll pick it up with that bag in their hand.”

  

A dog walks into a bar and hops up on a stool. He looks the bartender straight in the eye and says, “Hey, guess what? I can talk. Have you ever seen a talking dog before? Amazing, right? How about a drink?”

The bartender thinks for a moment and says, “Sure, the toilet’s right around the corner.”

 

Three boys see a fire engine with a dog go by and discuss what his job is.

‘Crowd control?’ says one boy.

‘He’s the mascot.’ says the second boy.

The third boy nods sagely: ‘He finds fire hydrants.’

 

A man walks into an animal hospital with his bulldog and says, “My dog is cross-eyed, can you fix it?”

The vet replies, “Let’s have a look at what’s wrong.” The vet picks the dog up while examining his eyes. After thoroughly inspecting the dog for a few minutes, he says, “I’m going to have to put him down.”

“What?! You’re going to put him down because he’s cross-eyed?”

“No, because he is really, really heavy.”

 

Difference Between a Cat and Dog

A woman lives with both a cat and dog. Everyday she’ll feed them, clean up after them and provide plenty of love and attention.

The dog is very grateful. As the owner approaches the dog and fills his bowl with kibbles, the dog thinks” Wow, you do all this for me, every day.  They must be gods.”

The owner then walks over to the cat and gives her daily food.

The cat thinks to herself,” Wow, you do all this for me, every day. I must be a god.”

And finally

Two dog owners are arguing about whose dog is smarter. “My dog is so smart,” says the first owner, “that every morning he goes to the store and buys me a sesame seed bagel with chive cream cheese, stops off at Starbucks and picks me up a mocha latte, and then comes home and turns on ESPN, all before I get out of bed.”

“I know,” says the second owner.

“How do you know?” the first demands.

“My dog told me.”

 

 

Olympic JOW #1242

 

As you know I tend to have themes for my weekly jokes.  I was planning on doing my annual Dog Days JOW about how miserably hot and humid it is, but the Olympics just wrapped up, so I decided to go with that as a theme.  Besides, it will be plenty of time to make jokes about the hot weather.  It will be just this miserably hot for the rest of the month.   And the month after that.  And the month after that.  Sigh

Here are the Olympic jokes:

 

Karl Marx had a sister named Onya that was an Olympic athlete. She is still honored today; her name is invoked at the start of every foot race.

 

Why do the Olympics swimming have lifeguards?

In case one of the swimmers has a stroke.

 

Then there was an unfortunate Olympics story:

A gymnast walked into a bar.

 

Another gymnast explained why he did so poorly in the Paris Olympics.

He said, “Eiffel over too many times.”

 

If laziness was an Olympic sport, I’d come in fourth so I wouldn’t have to walk up to the podium.

 

Which Olympic sport generates the most conversation?
Discus.

 

Did you hear about the blonde that won the gold medal in the Paris Olympics?
She was so proud she had it bronzed.

 

At the Olympic Village, a spectator saw an athletic guy carrying a long stick and asked him, “Are you a pole vaulter?”
He looked surprised and said, “No, I am a German. But how did you know my name is Walter?”

 

What do athletes do with a camera?
Take Olympics.

 

The old actor George Hamilton once entered the suntanning Olympics, but he only got bronze.

 

What’s the best Olympic sport?
Diving, hands down

 

There was a school that taught people to swim the backstroke.
Unfortunately, it couldn’t stay afloat, and the school went belly up.

 

After Nigeria was unable to win any gold medals in the Paris Olympics, the Nigerian Sports Minister personally offered to refund all the expenses of fans who traveled to France.
He said he just needed their bank details and PINs to complete the transaction.

 

Did you see that gymnast from North Korea in the Olympics?
She didn’t win any medals, but her execution was flawless.

An old one:

China won bronze in gymnastics at the Sydney 2000 Olympics but was stripped of the medal after it was revealed that Dong Fangxiao was under the minimum age of 16
And they would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those medalling kids.

 

An Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman trying to get into the Olympics with no tickets.
The Englishman found a large wooden pole lying on the ground near him. He picked it up, put it under his arm, walked in the gate, and said, “Bentley, England, pole vaulting,” and they let him in.
The Scotsman picked up a manhole cover, put it under his arm, walked in the gate, and said “McGregor, Scotland, discus,” and they let him in.
The Irish man picked up a roll of chicken wire, put it under his arm, walked in the gate, and said, “Murphy, Ireland, fencing.”

 

Three Olympic athletes are at an elite training camp

The instructor was a tough, but attractive woman

'What's your event?' she asked the first athlete
'Pole vault' he says
'You will spend the next hour pole vaulting!' barks the instructor 'And then I'll be convinced that you're a decent pole vaulter'
'What's your event?' she asked the second athlete
'Hurdling' he says
'You will spend the next hour hurdling!' barks the instructor 'And then I'll be convinced that you're a decent hurdler'
Before the instructor could ask the third athlete, she noticed he was suppressing laughter.
'What are you laughing at?' she barked
'Nothing' he giggled
'Well, what's your event?'
'Breaststroke'

 

And finally. 

A man met a beautiful girl and he decided he wanted to marry her right away. She protested, “But we don’t know anything about each other.” He replied, “That’s all right; we’ll learn about each other as we go along.”
So she consented and they were married, and they went on a honeymoon to a very nice resort.
One morning, they were lying by the pool when he got up off his towel, climbed up to the 30-foot high board, and did a two-and-a-half-tuck gainer, entering the water perfectly, almost without a ripple. This was followed by three rotations in the jack-knife position before he again straightened out and cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on his towel.
She said, “That was incredible.”
He said, “I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we’d learn more about ourselves as we went along.”
So she got up, jumped in the pool, and started doing laps. She was moving so fast that the ripples from her pushing off at one end of the pool would hardly be gone before she was already touching the other end of the pool. After about thirty laps, completed in mere minutes, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel, barely breathing hard.
He said, “That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?”
“No,” she said, “I was a prostitute in Venice, and I worked both sides of the canal.”

And finally

It's a warm summer evening and a hot-blooded couple had a heated argument; the woman accused her man of adultery. Back and forth they shouted, getting louder and angrier and more upset with each exchange. Eventually the woman’s anger boils over and in a fit of rage she reaches over, pulls his penis out, slices it off and hurled it out the window of their speeding car.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man is driving down the same highway with his six-year-old daughter. Suddenly, a bloody severed penis flies out of nowhere and **SMACKS** against the windshield, where it flops around for a few seconds before sliding off to the side.
The young girl jumps forward in her seat, startled, and exclaims "Oh, my GOSH!!! Daddy, what was that?"
The father panics: his daughter is still too young and innocent to learn about such things as penises. He thinks quickly and tells her "Don't worry, sweetie. It was just a bug."
"Oh, okay Daddy" she responds, and they continue on their way. After a few minutes of silence, the little girl looks up at her father and said "Sure had a big dick, didn't it?"
