What’s the difference between being in prison and playing on a basketball team?

On a basketball team, your guards won’t leave you hanging.

Re: The New Joke Thread

I'm 45 years old and I just bought my very first sports car. My girlfriend thinks I’m going through a midlife crisis.

But what would she know? She’s only 18.

GP: You have too much sugar in your diet. I recommend swapping desserts for appetizers. They’re much better for you nutritionally.

Patient: Ugh do I have to?

GP: Doctor’s hors d'oeuvres.

Re: The New Joke Thread

Okay, let's do light bulb jokes.

How many Californians does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Californians don't screw in light bulbs, they screw in hot tubs.

Re: The New Joke Thread

OK, time for some serious stuff now:

There was once a shade tree mechanic who worked on cars out in his paddock. For protection he had a pit bull named Mace (pit bull guys are always giving their dogs aggressive names like that). Mace was a good dog, but when he got out he had the habit of eating grass, which made him sick, so he was usually kept penned up.

Well, one arvo the mecho dropped his favorite spanner and couldn't find it despite searching high and low. So he knocked off for t he day and had a couple of beers... and forgot to pen up the dog who escaped and commenced to indulge his herbivorous habit... all night long.

In the morning the mecho awoke to a paddock largely stripped of grass and there, sparkling in the sun was his missing tool, just where he had dropped it. He was overjoyed and said "Oh grazing Mace, how sweet the hound who saved a wrench for me" just as you or I might have done.
