The Joke Thread

[Coops]

Possibly an old one, but here it is ...

After Quasimodo's death, the bishop of the Cathedral of Notre Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bell ringer was needed.

The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process.

After observing several applicants demonstrate their skills, he had decided to call it a day.

Just then, an armless man approached him and announced that he was there to apply for the bell ringer's job. The bishop was incredulous.

"You have no arms!" "No matter" said the man. "Observe!"

And he began striking the bells with his face, producing a beautiful melody on the carillon. The bishop listened in astonishment, convinced he had finally found a replacement for Quasimodo.

But suddenly, as he rushed forward to strike the bell, the armless man tripped and plunged headlong out of the belfry window to his death in the street below.

The stunned bishop rushed down two hundred and ninety five church steps, when he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beautiful music they had heard only moment before.

As they silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them asked "Bishop, who was this man?" "I don't know his name," the bishop sadly replied "... BUT HIS FACE RINGS A BELL!"

WAIT! WAIT! There's more...

The following day, despite the sadness that weighed heavily on his heart due to the unfortunate death of the armless campanologist, the bishop continued his interviews for the bell ringer of Notre Dame.

The first man to approach him said "Your Excellency, I am the brother of the poor armless wretch that fell to his death from this very belfry yesterday. I pray that you honour his life by allowing me to replace him in this duty".

The bishop agreed to give the man an audition, and, as the armless man's brother stooped to pick up a mallet to strike the first bell, he groaned, clutched at his chest, twirled around, and died on the spot.

Two monks, hearing the bishop's cries of grief at this second tragedy, rushed up the stairs to his side.

"What has happened? Who is this man?" the first monk asked breathlessly. "I don't know his name," sighed the distraught bishop, "but... "HE'S A DEAD RINGER FOR HIS BROTHER".

Coops.

Sipping her drink, the single girl leered and said, "Last Friday at the end of the work day I went to my boyfriend's office wearing a leather coat. When all the other people had left, I slipped out of it and all I had on was a leather bodice, black stockings and stiletto heels. He was so aroused that we made passionate love on his desk right then and there!"

The engaged woman giggled and said, "That's pretty much my story! When my fiancé got home last Friday, he found me waiting for him in a black mask, leather bodice, black hose and stiletto pumps. He was so turned on that we not only had sex all night, he wants to move up our wedding date!"

The married woman put her glass down and said, "I did a lot of planning. I made arrangements for the kids to stay over at Grandma's. I took a long scented-oil bath and then put on my best perfume. I slipped into a tight leather bodice, a black garter belt, black stockings and six-inch stilettos. I finished it off with a black mask. When my husband got home from work, he grabbed a beer and the remote, sat down and yelled, 'Hey, Batman, what's for dinner?

From the oldies, but goodies department, here is some always-timely life advice...

We pass this on to you because we all could use more calm in our lives.

By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr.Phil show, I finally found inner peace.

Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all
the things you started.

So I looked around my house to see things I had started and hadn’t
finished; and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a
bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Cardonay , a bole of Baileys, a butle of
Kehuha, a pockage of Tim Toms , tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valum
scriptins, the res of the Chesescke, some saltins an a bax a cholates.

Yu haf no idr who gud I fel.

Peas sen dis orn to dem yu fee ar in ned ov inr pece

Prince Charles is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full
of patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and greets one.

The patient replies:

"Fair fa your honest sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin race,
Aboon them a ye take yer place, Painch, tripe or thairm, As langs my
airm."

HRH is confused, so he just smiles and moves on to the next patient.

The patient responds:

"Some hae meat an canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat an we can eat, So let the Lord be thankit."

Even more confused, the Prince moves on to the next patient, who
immediately begins to chant:

"Wee sleekit, cowerin, timrous beasty, O the panic in thy breasty,
Thou needna start awa sae hastie, Wi bickering brattle."

Now seriously troubled, Charles turns to the accompanying doctor and
asks, "Is this a psychiatric ward?"

"No," replies the doctor, "This is the serious Burns unit."

The bishops decided to give the Pope a treat for his 80th birthday, anything he wanted...

'Father, what would you like for your birthday?'

'My son, I would like a woman, a prostitute, sent to my quarters for a few hours. I've never had a woman before , but there are several conditions, firstly she must be blind.'

'Why must she be blind?'

'So she can't see that she is having sex with the pope.'

'Oh, anything else?'

'Yes she must be a deaf mute so she cannot identify me by my voice or go out into the world and tell people she has had sex with the pope.'

'OK, we will see what we can do'

'And one more thing..... she must have big tits....'

'Why must she have big tits..??'





'Because I like big tits..............'

"Remember that Sudanese guy you hired with the honest face?

Well, he just ****ed off with your mop!"
