Seems like something that would do us all a bit of good would be to have a joke thread—a little something to pass the day, especially for those who access the forum during work hours.
I'll start with one of my favorite terrible jokes.
What goes clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop, bang-bang, clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop?

So Werner Heisenberg is driving down the road when he gets pulled over for speeding. The officer asks him if he knows how fast he was going. Heisenberg responds with, 'No, but I know where I am.'
-
So a neutrino walks into a bar and the bartender says, 'we don't serve your kind here' and the neutrino says, 'that's alright, I'm just passing through.'
A superconductor walks into a bar and the bartender says, 'we don't serve your kind here' and the superconductor leaves without any resistance.
Two bacteria walk into a bar and the bartender says, 'we don't serve your kind here' and the bacteria reply, 'but were staph!'

A normal person washes his hands after going to the bathroom. A chemist washes his hands before going to the bathroom.
That's not a joke, though. That actually happens all the time.

A drag queen strolls into a church by mistake to find a priest swinging an incense pot. The drag queen says: "Honey, I just love your dress, but don't you know your handbag is on fire?"
-
What's the difference between a chemist and a normal person?
A normal person washes his hands after going to the bathroom. A chemist washes his hands before going to the bathroom.
I've been a chemist for 35 years and have only heard this one other time. It is both funny and very true.
Do you have any good lawyer jokes?

Do you have any good lawyer jokes?
A doctor, an engineer and a lawyer all end up at a conference together, and in the hotel room, they decide to have a good laugh and look through the Gideon Bible.
The doctor says: "Well, surgery must be the oldest profession - says right here in Genesis that God made Eve from Adam's rib."
The engineer says: "Pish tosh. Read before that - it says that God created the heavens and the earth out of chaos. Engineering is the oldest profession."
The lawyer says: "Ah, but who created the chaos?"
-
lol, it's funny because the engineer says "pish tosh"
-
I think it's funny because the lawyer said "Ah'.

Really? Wow, it seems like this is so old... I've heard it (and told it) so many times!
Do you have any good lawyer jokes?
No, but I have some bad lawyer jokes!
What do you call a hundred lawyers buried up to their necks in sand?
Not enough sand.

I'd tell another chemistry joke here, but all the good ones argon. Oh wait:
What's a pirate's favorite amino acid? Arrrrginine!
-
Similarly:
What do you call a busload of lawyers going off a cliff? A good start.
What's worse than a busload of lawyers going of a cliff? Having it happen with a seat empty.
Disclaimer: My GF is a lawyer, and I very much respect most lawyers. My previous question to Theory was because I'm curious about which (if any) lawyer jokes are funny to lawyers.
-
As for chemistry jokes, here is one of my own, which I managed to get published in a letter to an industry mag while still in school a million years ago:
If C5H12 is pentane, and C6H14 is heptane, then what is CnH2n+2? The answer is obviously inane and deserves no further consideration.
Edited to remove name of magazine. In this day and age, you can't be too careful on the internet.

Now for something completely different:
How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb? Two - one to hold the giraffe, the other to put the clocks in the bathtub.
How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb? To get to the other side!
How many communists does it take to change a lightbulb? The lightbulb contains the seeds of its own change.
How many Congresspeople does it take to change a lightbulb? You don't need a new lightbulb, what you really need is for us to bicker for three months.
-
I don't think anyone actually gets offended by lawyer jokes. The problem is that most lawyer jokes are not really lawyer jokes, because you can replace lawyer with any other maligned profession and you have essentially the same joke.
Anyway, here are some I like:
A lawyer and an engineer were fishing in the Caribbean when they got to talking. The lawyer mentioned, "I'm here because my house burned down and everything got destroyed by the fire. The insurance company paid for everything."
"That's quite a coincidence," remarked the engineer. "I'm here because my house and all my belongings were destroyed by a flood. My insurance company, too, paid for everything."
There was a brief pause, and then the puzzled lawyer asked, "How do you start a flood?"
Farmer Bob: Hey doc, how is Lawyer Jones?
Doctor Ted: Alas, the poor fellow is lying at death's door.
Farmer Bob: Ah, there's grit for ya: at death's door and still lyin'.

How many flies does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Two

In that case, here's my favorite:
An engineer, a paleontologist, and a lawyer are walking through the woods with their dogs. The paleontologist says 'I've got the most talented dog in the world, watch this'. He calls his dog. 'Linnaeus, go do your stuff". The dog puts his nose to the ground and begins searching the area. He stops near a large tree, starts digging frantically, uncovering bone after bone. He uses the bones to build a full size replica of a T. rex skeleton.
The engineer says 'That's nothing, watch this'. He calls his dog. 'Fulcrum, go do your stuff'. The second dog disassembles the skeleton and uses the bones to build a double-cantilevered bridge over the stream they are standing beside.
The lawyer says 'That's nothing, watch this'. He calls his dog. 'Shyster, go do your stuff'. So his dog screws the other two dogs and skips town.

"Man, I haven't talked to my wife for two WEEKS!"
"Why not?"
"I didn't want to interrupt her..."
-
René Descartes walks into a bar.
The bartender asks, "Would you like a drink?"
Descartes responds with, "I think not," and then vanished.
This joke depends on faulty logic, because if we assume Descartes is translated as:
"I think, therefore I am"
This is equivalent to "I am not, therefore i cannot think" and not "I do not think, therefore I am not"( which is equivalent to "I am, therefore I think").
When I think about it, writing this reminds me of this comic (http://spikedmath.com/505.html).

Racist tic-tac-toe is where you replace the o's with k's.

Three statisticians decide they're going to try out hunting. They get themselves a shotgun each, and hire a guide to help them with deer hunting.
On their first day, after only about 2 hours, the guide spots a ten-point buck among the trees. One of them takes a shot that hits a tree off to the left, leaving a mark on the tree and spooking the buck. The next aims quickly while the buck is still in sight, but his shot slams into a tree off to the right.
The third statistician jumps in the sir and shouts "We got him!"

What do you get when you cross an elephant and a rhino? Hell if I know.
Why did the bicycle fall over? It was two-tired.

So Werner Heisenberg is driving down the road when he gets pulled over for speeding. The officer asks him if he knows how fast he was going. Heisenberg responds with, 'No, but I know where I am.'
I've heard the same joke with a bit of an extension:
So Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger are driving down the road when they get pulled over for speeding. The officer asks if they knows how fast they were going. Heisenberg responds with, "No, but I know where I am."
Considering this unusual response to be grounds for a search, the officer proceeds to ask them to open the trunk. Upon examination he says "did you know there's a dead cat in here?" Quite put out, Schrodinger sayds "Well, I do now!"

Who is the opposite of Christopher Reeve?

I'm very bad at remembering jokes, in fact, this is the only one I remember.
A man goes to see a doctor and tells him: "Doc, every time I talk to a woman, she turns around and flees in disgust."
The doctor sniffs the man's breath, "You have bad breath", he says.
- "Why could that be, I brush my teeth three times a day!"
The doc looks at the man, sees his hands and says: "Either stop biting your nails or scratching your ass"
-
This is the only joke I know that has some level of humor.
A boy asks his dad, "Dad, is God male or female?"
The dad thinks about this. "Son, God is whatever people want to believe in. So you could say that because some see God as male, and others see God as female, then God is both."
The boy takes this in. Then, he says, "Dad, is God white or black?"
The dad thinks about this, but for shorter than before. "Well, it's the same as before. Some see God as white, some see God as black. So God is both."
The boy pauses, then asks, "Dad, is God Michael Jackson?"

What's brown and rhymes with Snoop? Dr. Dre

A man just joined a monastery. The abbot told the man, "Our order has very strict vows of silence. On each anniversary of your joining this order, you can speak two words."
One year goes by with the man saying nothing. Finally, his first anniversary arrived, and the man approached the abbot and said, "Room drafty."
After another year, the man approached the monk and said, "Food cold."
After the third year, the man told the abbot, "Bed hard."
After the fourth year, the man said, "Roof leaks."
On the man's fifth anniversary, he walked up to the abbot and simply stated, "I quit."
The abbot nodded and replied, "I'm not surprised. You've done nothing but complain since you got here."

So three strings walk into a bar in Texas. Now there's a law in Texas that says strings can't drink, so this is a pretty rebellious thing. But the String #3 says to the others "C'mon, let's have some fun!"
So String #1 walks up to the bar. "Bartender," he says, "I'd like a beer."
"No can do," says the bartender. "You're a string. You want a soda or something?"
The string walks back to the table dejected.
String #2 steps up, but he's a little more crafty. He goes over to the coat rack, throws on a hat and a coat, and walks up to the bar, changing his voice to try to sound more like a person.
"Bartender," he says, "I'd like a beer."
"Sure thing, bud, comin right ... wait a minute! You're a string! Get outta here!"
Well the third string just laughs. He says "Guys, lemme show you how it's done." So he ties himself in a knot and teases out each end of himself. Then he walks up to the bar and confidently order a beer.
"You know I can't do that," says the bartender. "You're a string."
The string looks him squarely in the eyes and says "No sir, I'm a frayed knot."

Two penguins were driving through the desert on a hot day and their car broke down. Luckily they weren't too far from a small, dusty town. They pushed their car into town and left it at a mechanic's shop. He suggested they get some refreshment to cool down at the local diner, and he'd come get them when he fixed the car.
The two penguins order vanilla milkshakes, but one of them is so hot and thirsty he drinks it without the straw, getting it all over his beak.
About an hour later, the mechanic walks in and says "It looks like you blew a seal."
The penguin quickly replies "No, it's just a milkshake!

How many F.DS members does it take to change a light bulb?
Depends on the board; are there any +Lumens, or will all those extra Watts go to waste? Are there any alt-light sources? How many switches are connected to the light? Will the light stay in one state for long periods of time, or will it be turned on and off frequently? How does it interact with other light sources (if any) in the room?
-
Maths jokes then.
An experiment is performed involving two cats, and an inclined roof.
The two cats are very nearly identical; same gender, mass, breed, eye and fur colour.
The scientist places both cats on the apex of the roof and releases them at the same time.
One of the cats fall off the roof first.
So obviously there is some difference between the two cats.
One cat has a greater mew.

There are 10 kinds of mathematicians. Those who can think binarily and those who can't..

Two men are sitting in the basket of a balloon. For hours, they have been drifting through a thick layer of clouds, and they have lost orientation completely. Suddenly, the clouds part, and the two men see the top of a mountain with a man standing on it.
"Hey! Can you tell us where we are?!"
The man doesn't reply. The minutes pass as the balloon drifts past the mountain. When the balloon is about to be swallowed again by the clouds, the man on the mountain shouts: "You're in a balloon!"
"That must have been a mathematician."
"Why?"
"He thought long and thoroughly about what to say. What he eventually said was irrefutably correct. And it was of no use whatsoever..."
And as I'm a doctor, not a mathematician (dammit, Jim) a joke for doctors:
What's pink and hard?
An ECG on an orthopaedics ward.

Two men are sitting in the basket of a balloon. For hours, they have been drifting through a thick layer of clouds, and they have lost orientation completely. Suddenly, the clouds part, and the two men see the top of a mountain with a man standing on it.
"Hey! Can you tell us where we are?!"
The man doesn't reply. The minutes pass as the balloon drifts past the mountain. When the balloon is about to be swallowed again by the clouds, the man on the mountain shouts: "You're in a balloon!"
"That must have been a mathematician."
"Why?"
"He thought long and thoroughly about what to say. What he eventually said was irrefutably correct. And it was of no use whatsoever..."
This joke has a longer version.
Speaking of long jokes, have you heard the one about Nate the Snake? I have been sorely tempted to post it here, but it is very, very long.
I know this joke. It's golden. Post it. ;D
Oh boy. If you post it (and you should), I'm gonna +1 just for the amount of typing involved.
And then retract the +1 when you realize he simply copy/pasted it from a website?
Holy crap this "joke" is long. I'm 2/3 of the way through, but I'll take some +1's for linking to it:

Darn, I was going to link it.

How can you tell if someone is vegan? Don't worry they'll tell you.
Sorry to get all PC but this joke irritates me. How can you tell someone is atheist? How can you tell someone is gay? How can you tell someone is adopted? How can you tell if someone is left-handed?
These qualities are all (usually) invisible until we are told of them, because we operate in a world of default assumptions. You have no idea how many [people of X quality] you've met; the only reason you know any is because they tell you. There are many [people of X quality] that do not tell you they are [X] and that you just don't know have [X].
You can argue that vegans are more militant about their veganism than atheists/gays/adoptees/left-handedness etc., but I doubt it. From personal experience, and PETA-crazies aside, most vegans are not evangelical.

Sorry if it offends, that wasn't my intention. The joke plays on the fact that vegans do tend to mention it if they're vegan. I think the reason vegans tend to be fairly out about their veganism is not out of any militantism, but because people eat 3+ times a day. Eating comes up a lot more often than your other examples (sexuality, religion, adoption, handedness). I guess the reason it's funny though is that it implies militantism on the part of vegans, which if not actually true is certainly a stereotype that fits. The joke would also work for people who have peanut allergies, but there's no stereotype to play off of so it wouldn't be funny. I thought it was fairly inoffensive, but I'll refrain in the future.

Another mathy one. Not laugh out loud hilarious but I like it:
One alien says to another, "Look, there are 11 zorgaks over there."
The other alien replies, "No, I clearly see 23 of them."
The first says, "Oh, I see. You must use base 4 on your planet. Here we use base 10."
The second then says, "I use base 10 also. What the hell is a 4?"

But... does this add up? What bases are the aliens using? If alien one is using base ten, then it sees eleven zorgaks.
The second alien says 23, so it can't be binary. It doesn't know 4, so it must be base three.
23 in base three == 12 in base ten
So... it doesn't work? Unless the first alien is also using something other than base ten?
Edit: no wait, I am misinterpreting. It must be base four, but yeah, they call it base 10. MY BAD. /tired

Oh I'm not offended -- except for that part of me that likes good jokes. I am simply bothered by it in an OCD-esque manner, the same way that I am bothered by anyone who makes a joke that seems illogical.

"We don't see meat eating as we do vegetarianism -- as a choice, based on a set of assumptions about animals, our world, and ourselves. Rather, we see it as a given, the "natural" thing do. We eat animals without thinking what we are doing and why because the belief system that underlies this behavior is invisible." -- Melanie Joy.

So... it doesn't work? Unless the first alien is also using something other than base ten?
Edit: no wait, I am misinterpreting. It must be base four, but yeah, they call it base 10. MY BAD. /tired
I also had to think that through.
My problem was that I immediately thought of 10 as a construct of binary. So, I was wondering how that alien could even count to 23.
I don't work with other bases enough to pick up on that. When I see 10 (or any combination of 0s and 1s), I instantly think of it as a binary number and not a number in another base that just happens to be made up of 0s and 1s. The only exception would be decimal (and sometimes hexadecimal).
But it is a brilliant joke.

It's also brilliant as a caution against egocentrism. We often see "10" and think it means "ten", but it really means [whatever base you're in]. So everyone thinks they are in base "10", it this can mean very different things to them. Similarly, everyone here claims they are "decent" at Dominion, because, well, you're comparing to yourself and the people you get auto-matched with, which is biased toward your own level. So no one thinks they are "bad" or "good", because we're all thinking were are level "10" in base [actual level].

So, US vs EU thing: How many righties use their left hand for eating? Lots (lots) of Americans, when eating meat, will use their right hand for cutting meat with a knife, then set down the fork and transfer it to their right hand. Anyone else seen this?

I'm like that with my left hand. I'm just really clumsy with my right so I can't knife or fork with it. Yes I just verbed those nouns.

I got taken to task yesterday for a similar thing. I'm a righty, but all my fishing reels have the handle on the right side, because after I cast, I move the rod to my left hand and reel right-handed. The guy at the fishing store said "Why are you adding all those steps?"

I do it the way I've been taught is polite. Knife in right hand, Fork in left, always.

See, this just proves that left hand people are trying to cover up their left handedness, and why do they want to cover it up? Because they are up to no good obviously.

This is the way I taught, but abandoned in my older years as I realized that it's acceptable to do it either way, and the transfer is super ineffcient.
I'm not sure that I was taught to actually set the fork down, or just pass it to the right hand prior to eating.

Why would people teach people that way?
Surely you put the knife in your strongest hand!

The fork transfer forces you to eat slower, so I've heard that it is an etiquette thing. The alternative explanation is that it's a way to ferret out British spies during the American Revolution but that seems pretty dubious.

Although, I've grown up with sign language, so I still don't get the hang of how "three" is normally presented. It looks like W.

But it looks like just a style brought across with the settlers that never got changed.
A bit like the French way of eating used to be all courses served at the same time, and the current set meal style that most people use in restaurants is derived from the Russians.

How did a conversation about left-handers show up in a joke thread? Must be some sort of sinister plot.
To tie the two together, here is a joke I copied directly from some website.
A husband asks his wife, "Honey, if I died, would you remarry?"
"After a considerable period of grieving, I guess I would. We all need companionship."
"If I died and you remarried," the husband asks, "would he live in this house?"
"We've spent a lot of money getting this house just the way we want it. I'm not going to get rid of my house. I guess he would."
"If I died and you remarried, and he lived in this house," the husband asks, "would he sleep in our bed?"
"Well, the bed is brand new, and it cost us $2000. It's going to last a long time, so I guess he would."
"If I died and you remarried, and he lived in this house and slept in our bed, would he use my golf clubs?"
"Oh, no!" the wife replies. "He's left-handed!"

I was explicitly taught as a child that there is an American way and a European way.
I prefer the switch myself, when I eat with my left hand if feels like a different person is feeding me. (No one went there yet?)

It's used in a naming convention for enantiomers. "Right-handed" molecules are labeled with R, for the rectus, and "left-handed' molecules are labeled with S, for sinister.

In the deep jungles of darkest Africa lived a wild native tribe, with a prideful chief. He lorded over his subjects day after day from atop his throne of mud. One day, one of his weary subjects said to the chief, "Wise One, though your throne is large, it is of such poor material. Would you not look even mightier atop a sturdier throne?"
The chief took these words to heart, and that very day ordered his people to construct him a new throne of wood. Proud and regal sat he upon it, until the same subject approached him once more. "What a great sturdy throne, Wise One, but would you not look more wealthy were your throne more ostentatious?" And so the Chief orders a new throne constructed of bronze.
This continues, day after day, with thrones of bone, of silver, of gold, and evermore, and each day, his people provide him with a new throne, and take the old to store them in the attic of the Wise One's grass hut. One night, however, the weight above the Chief as he slept was too much, and the structure collapsed, killing the Chief.
The moral? Those who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

The tree was petrified. The chainsaw-wielding man threatened, "Take me to your forest, or I will chop you down and put you with the others!"
The tree could not outrun the man so he had a choice to make, spare his own life and have his family killed, or wind up dead on a mound of other dead trees. With sap dripping from his eyes, he went for the tree-pile ending.

With the number of piles he must of emptied, I wouldnt be suprised if that man was a Woodcutter.

In honor of eHalcyon, I present this old joke. It really works better when spoken aloud, but you should get the gist.
Bob and Frank were walking down a beach when they saw a stunningly beautiful woman eyeing them. Seductively, she removes her t-shirt, revealing a tantalizing bikini top.
Frank elbows Bob and says, "Hey, Bob. That girl is checking you out, and she's showing off that great rack. You should take off your shirt and show her your chest.
Bob agrees and removes his shirt in kind. The woman flutters her eyelashes at Bob in approval and then pulls down her shorts, leaving her in nothing but a bikini.
Frank's eyes pop out of his head, and he says, "Man, that is a sweet ass. Bob, you should flex for her. Show her your muscles."
So Bob flexes and shows the woman what 2 hours a day in a gym looks like.
By this point, the woman is definitely interested in Bob, and she demonstrates this by undoing her bikini top and presenting her bare breasts to the two men.
Frank incredulously stammers, "Holy shit, Bob. Those are gorgeous. You've got to show her your nuts!"
So Bob goes on a rampage and shoots up a shopping mall.

The second whale sighs and says, "Shut up Frank, you're drunk."

Man walks into a bar...and asks for a beer.
As the barman is pouring it the bloke hears a voice. "Nice suit mate. Bet you pull tonight."
He asks the barman if he'd said anything. The barman says no. Again he hears a voice.
"The aftershave is nifty as well. You won't fail tonight."
The barman again denies he's said anything and gives the guy his beer.
Somewhat shattered, the guy decides he's going to have start smoking again. He walks up to the fag machine.
"Fuck off you cock. Don't you realise smoking will kill you? What a f*cking loser you are. Piss off and leave me alone," the machine says.
Now the guy is well worried and says to the barman. "Look I'll know you'll think I'm mad but ever since I've come in here, I've been hearing voices. One was saying nice things about the suit and then the cigarette machine started abusing me."
"I do apologise sir," says the barman. "The peanuts are complementary and the cigarette machine is out of order...."

A pair of PG-13/R-rated jokes:
A woman is in a coma with apparently little hope of recovery. But a nurse, while sponge-bathing her, noticed a bit of brain activity when they washed between her legs. They tried it again, and sure enough, there was definitely some activity, but not enough to wake her.
So the doctor went to her husband and told him, "Look, maybe this won't work, but based on some of the things we did, we think, maybe, some oral sex could help bring your wife out of her coma." The husband was skeptical, but let himself be convinced. What was there to lose?
The nurses took him to his wife’s room and explained that they would leave them alone so they could have more privacy, but would be checking her vitals in the other room for any reaction.
After a few minutes the monitor’s alarm goes off and she flatlines – no pulse, no heartbeat, nothing!
The nurses panic and run into the room. "What happened?!"
The husband replies, "I don't know! I think she choked ..."
===
A married couple of 20 years were as normal as could be, bar one little quirk the husband had in the bedroom.
He'd only have sex with the lights off.
The wife assumed he merely had some shame in the penile department, but she loved him, so happily obliged. An added bonus was that it felt like he was actually reasonably well-equipped downstairs, so everything was good.
However, 20 years of blind sex took its toll on her and their relationship. In the middle of one of their love-making sessions, the wife dived for the lamp and turned on the light.
She saw her husband with his pants on and a dildo in hand.
There was a brief moment of silence, then the wife sternly stated, "You have some explaining to do."
The husband looked her dead in the eye and said, "I'll explain this when you explain the kids".

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the street in front of the bank; she has the title, and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the blonde returns and repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely; but we are a little puzzled. We checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is - why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" The blond replies....."Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

Jack woke up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Christmas party. He didn't even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he as feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.
Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sat up and saw his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed.
He looked around the room and saw that it was in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So was the rest of the house. He took the aspirins, and cringed when he saw a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror.
Then he noticed a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick:
"Honey, breakfast is on the stove. I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling!"
He stumbled to the kitchen and sure enough, there was hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son was also at the table, eating.
Jack asked, "Son, what happened last night?"
"Well, you came home after 3 A.M, drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door."
Confused, he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me??
His son replied, "Oh THAT! Mum dragged you to the bathroom to clean you up, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, 'Leave me alone bitch, I'm married!"

Ok here goes:
A symphony is playing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Unfortunately, the string bass part on that piece has a really long stretch or rest. On day the bassists are shooting the shit during rehearsal, and one of them says "If we leave at the start of the rest, we can probably get a beer next door and get back in time to play."
The other says "I don't think we could quite make it, but I've got an idea. Maybe we can buy a little time if we tie some pages of the conductors music together. That way while he's fiddling with the knots we can get back."
So the basses went out, and one drink turned into two, and they only made it back right as the conductor got to the tied together pages. And the orchestra was really in trouble, because it was the bottom of the ninth, the basses were loaded, and the score was tied!

Out of curiosity, for those of us that never took solfège lessons, which... err... scores (?) are played in "octave" you linked to, and in "coping" (http://euge.ca/2011/12/23/coping/) ?
Octave is Chopin's Fantasie-Impromptu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa0Z6g1XJkU
Coping is Grieg's Piano Concerto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF0WaXEf0xM

So Werner Heisenberg is driving down the road when he gets pulled over for speeding. The officer asks him if he knows how fast he was going. Heisenberg responds with, 'No, but I know where I am.'
The officer says, "Sir, you were going at 80 miles per hour!"
Heisenberg says, "Great, now I'm lost!"

Yeah, we first got together in a chat-room. Then I set up a date via e-mail and we met at a cyber cafe. One thing led to another and we sneaked into a backroom, where she agreed to a download from my hard drive. And afterward we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall and, since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a blessed little popup appeared.

He goes to the car rental line, waits in line for a long time, and eventually gets a limo. He wants to buy her flowers. He goes to the florist line, waits in line for a long time, and eventually gets some flowers. At prom, she asks him to go get punch. He goes to the refreshment table and there's no punchline.

So this guy, Rob, has always been a bit... weird. He lives way out in the sticks, has a huge wooded lot, a bit suspicious if he didn't also have a pretty high-powered job at a bank. Odd habits, strange tics, and for some reason he keeps a brick in a fishbowl on his mantle. It's a strange decoration, but he's always told his friends, "Guys, don't ask about the brick in the fishbowl. Just... don't." And they never have, even his best friend, Karl, a psychiatrist.
After a couple years of dating a girl named Julia, she and Rob get married. Karl is the best man. He carries her over the threshold of the house, all the standard stuff. A couple weeks later, figuring that, hey, it's her house too now, she has to know. When he walks into the room next, she asks, "Rob... why do you keep a brick in that fishbowl?"
And Rob snaps. Like, 'Hulk smash!' type snaps. He grabs a poker from the fireplace, catches her right in the neck with it, snaps her neck... she's dead. No blood or anything. That night, he drags her out into the woods, dismembers her, digs a ton of holes and scatters the pieces all about the woods.
The next day, he calls the cops. Julia's missing, obviously. No sign of a struggle, just disappeared. Of course the cops search the woods, but Rob's been pretty meticulous; they find nothing. The case goes cold. Rob mourns with his friends, helps in searches for a year or so, then starts to move on with his life. He falls in love again--another Julia, oddly. A few years later, he marries this Julia.
After a couple of months in his house, she's cleaning up, and takes the brick out of the fishbowl to clean it. It's really dusty; as far as she can tell it's never been disturbed. Rob walks into the room. "You need to put that back in the fishbowl."
Julia turns to him and asks, "Why do you keep this brick in the fishbowl anyway?"
Rob snaps again. This Julia ends up in small pieces scattered out in the woods. But the cops, and even Rob's friends, are rightly suspicious. Two missing wives? The police take him in for questioning. During the interrogation, one of the detectives asks the obvious question, and Rob snaps again. Thankfully for the cops, they're cops, and with no weapons in sight, they're able to tackle Rob and cuff him. And Rob has a heart attack from the physical strain of straining against the cuffs. He collapses; they rush him to the hospital.
Meanwhile, the cops take a much better look at the woods than they did before. They find pieces of the second Julia, and a few bones of the first. Assaulting an officer, two possible murders; things don't look so great for Rob. Of course, things don't look so great for him health-wise either.
The next day, Karl, after clearance by the police, goes to talk to Rob, who is handcuffed to the hospital bed, despite being in ICU. And Rob confesses--to everything, both murders, tells all the details. Except, of course, the obvious one.
Karl says, "Listen, Rob. This fishbowl thing. I mean, I understand now why you didn't want us asking. I guess maybe it was better that way? But man, we need to get you some help, even if that help only ends up reaching you in prison. I'm your best friend, man, I've known you since you were eighteen. Why, Rob? Why do you keep that brick in the fishbowl?"
Rob starts to snap, but he's completely restrained, and his body isn't ready for that sort of strain again. He calms down a bit, then gives Karl a sad look. "All right. I suppose... I suppose it can't hurt to tell now." He sighs, then says nothing; his heart gives out, he codes; the doctors are unable to resuscitate him. And that's the end of the story.
I learned this one at Scout camp a long time ago. The person telling it has apparently entered it in a "worst joke" competition, and strung the audience along for twenty minutes. He won, unsurprisingly.

A joke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joke) is something spoken, written, or done with humorous intention. Jokes may have many different forms, e.g., a single word or a gesture (considered in a particular context), a question-answer, or a whole short story. The word "joke" has a number of synonyms, including wisecrack, gag, prank, quip, jape and jest. To achieve their end, jokes may employ irony, sarcasm, word play and other devices. Jokes may have a punch line, i.e., an ending to make it humorous.
A practical joke or prank differs from a spoken joke in that the major component of the humour is physical rather than verbal (for example placing salt in the sugar bowl).

For anyone who likes music theory:
A C, an E-flat, and a G go into a bar. The bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So, the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them.
After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and the G is out flat. An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.
A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second."
An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims: "Get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."
The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender (who used to have a nice corporate job until his company downsized) says: "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development."
This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and everything else, and stands there au natural.
Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's under a rest.
The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.
On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

So, when people die, they go to heaven and tell the guy there how they died, and if they like the story, they let them in. One day, someone tells this story:
"So, I was about to go to the grocery store, but I couldn't find my wallet. Then I saw a guy on my 8th floor fire escape (I live in an apartment), and I realized he must have the wallet. So, I start smashing this guy with a hammer, and he falls off. He lands in some bushes and survives, and I was so mad at him I threw my fridge down at him. The shock of everything killed me."
They let him in, because that was an interesting story. The next guy comes up:
"I was tending to my plants on my 9th floor fire escape, but accidentally fell off. I landed on the 8th floor fire escape, and the guy who lives there suddenly came out and started smashing me with a hammer. I fell off, and thankfully landed in some bushes. Then, the guy throws his fridge on me. The fridge killed me."
They let that guy in too. The next guy:
"So, I'm in a fridge with a wallet..."

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.
The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services.
He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?".
The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?"

A Brazilian
I heard a longer version of this play on words many years ago. Here's a version of it that I'm writing on the fly:
President George W. Bush receives an urgent report about a recent incident in South America. "2 Brazilian soldiers were killed," the aide concludes.
"My God," whispers Bush. He is visibly moved and the staffers in the room are surprised as the president hangs his head in sorrow. After several minutes of silence, Bush looks up and asks, "how many is a Brazillian?"

(Note: This is a long joke, but you really do have to read the whole thing to appreciate it. It won't take too long.)
There's a guy driving his car out in the boonies (I hope this is a fairly well-known expression) somewhere, and he gets a flat tire. He can't get the car started again, so he just starts walking down the road trying to find something. He comes up to a monastery and goes in. He asks the monks there, "Hey, can I borrow a cell phone or something so I can call someone to come fix my car?" They reply, "Sorry, we're monks; we don't have cell phones. But, our wagon is going into town the next day and you can get help there. We'll let you stay the night here." He agrees.
In the middle of the night he gets woken up by a loud, amazing, awe-inspiring sound, and he has no idea what it is. He tries to fall back asleep, but he keeps hearing it. He gets up because he needs to figure out what it is. He goes downstairs, goes through winding passageways, and he comes up to the biggest door he's ever seen, and the head monk is standing in front of it. He can tell the the sound is coming from right behind the door. He asks the head monk, "What's that sound?"
The head monk replies, "Sorry, I can't tell you; you're not a monk."
"Why not? Can't you just tell me what it is?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you; you're not a monk."
"Come on, I'm not going to be able to fall asleep if I don't know what that sound is."
"Sorry, I can't tell you; you're not a monk."
The man isn't happy, but he goes back to bed. He has trouble sleeping that night, and while getting ready to go he keeps asking the monks what the sound is, but they all reply with the same answer: "Sorry, I can't tell you; you're not a monk."
He goes back to town, gets his car fixed, and goes on with life. But he keeps hearing that sound in his mind, and after a few months he can't stand it any more. He finds the monastery again and goes back to the head monk.
"Hey, you remember me? I'm that guy that was here a few months ago. I just need to figure out what that sound is."
"Sorry, I can't tell you; you're not a monk."
"Well then, how do I become a monk?"
"Are you sure you want to become a monk? The journey is long and hard."
"Yes. I need to figure out what that sound is."
"Alright. First, you need to count all of the stars in the night sky."
He spends a whole year, counting and recounting, consulting astronomers, etc. He thinks he has the answer, and goes up to the head monk and says it. "Very good," he replied. "Now, you must count all of the grains of sand on the seashore."
He spends years and years, crawling on beaches all over the world, counting each individual sand grain, because he needs to figure out what this sound is. He finally has his answer, and goes to the head monk and says it. "Very good," he replied. "Now, you must climb the tallest mountain and see how small you are compared to the world."
He trains himself, gets all of the necessary equipment, and makes it up. By this point he has gotten quite a bit older and wiser. He goes up to the head monk and the head monk says, "Finally, you are ready to become a monk." They go through all of those twisting passageways, and up to the huge door. The head monk opens the door, and the man finally figures out what the sound is...
...but I can't tell you; you're not a monk.

There once was a bug catcher who was determined on catching an igly worm. So one day, when he had researched them far enough to know how to fulfill his wish, he went outside and caught one. He put it inside a small glass jar, and in the evening he put the jar on his bedside table and fell asleep happily. When he woke up the next day it was gone. He really wanted to catch an igly worm though, so he went out again and caught another one. He put it in a small glass jar, put that jar into a bigger jar and pasted it up carefully. He fell as asleep happily that day, but when he woke up at the next morning, the igly worm was gone again. He really, really needed to catch one though, so he went out and caught another one. He put it inside a small glass jar and put the jar into a large, iron safe. Then he went to the bathroom. But when he tried to wash his hands, what came out of the spigot?
Water.

This reminds me of an (allegedly real) story i once read about a monk asking his disciples silly/clever questions that they were supposed to think long and hard about. One of them - if i don't remember it wrong - was: "What sound does it make if you clap with one hand?" I was confused what should have been so hard about that, as the answer was obviously "clap", with clapping named after the sound it makes. Probably the monk would have kicked me. Anyhow, i thought your joke was about that when i first looked over it.

There is this monster called the Medicrin (I've always heard this joke told, so I'm making up the spelling). It is a vicious monster that lives near a town and comes in the night and eats the townspeople. One day, the townspeople go up to their knight and ask him what to do about the Medicrin. He says, "Dig a hole. The Medicrin loves holes. He'll jump in it and we can kill him in the morning." They dig the hole.
That night, the Medicrin comes to the town. He looks in the hole. He loves holes, but he likes eating the townspeople more and takes one of them and eats them.
The next day, the townspeople go back to the knight and ask him what they should do next. He replies, "Get a loon. The Medicrin loves loons. If you put the loon in the hole, the Medicrin will go in the hole to get the loon." They find and catch a loon and put him in the hole.
That night, the Medicrin comes to the town. He looks in the hole. He loves holes, and he loves loons, but he likes eating the townspeople more and takes one of them and eats them.
The next day, the townspeople are getting desperate. They go back to the knight. He tell them, "Feed the loon a lot of sugar. The Medicrin loves sugar. He'll surely go into the hole if you do this." They stuff the loon with all of the sugar they can find.
That night, the Medicrin comes to the town. He looks in the hole. He loves holes. He loves loons. And, the loon is going crazy on a sugar rush. The Medicrin can't help himself, and he goes into the hole and eats the loon. He is now too stuffed to do anything, and morning comes. The townspeople rejoice and finally slay the Medicrin.
The moral of the story? A loon full of sugar helps the Medicrin go down.

Once there were three kingdoms. In the center of them was a big lake with an island in the middle. This island was amazing; plant corn there, and you will get tons of corn. Plant ships there, you'll get tons of ships. You can literally plant anything and you'll get it.
These three kingdoms were constantly warring over this island. They decided to have one final battle to decide once and for all who owned it. Each kingdom sent in their warriors to the center to fight.
The first kingdom was a very rich kingdom. They were able to send 25 knights, along with 25 squires.
The second kingdom was middle class. They had 10 knights, along with 10 squires.
The third kingdom was very poor. There was only one old night, along with a single squire.
When they all made it to the center, the night before the battle, the knights of the rich kingdom realized they outnumbed the rest and threw a huge party.
The knights of the second kingdom loved seafood and knew that there was great fish here. They ate fish for dinner.
As for the poor kingdom, the squire asked the knight what they should do. The knight replied, "I am tired. Make me a bowl of porridge to eat when I wake up." The squire tied a noose onto a pot of porridge, and threw it over a tree to control how close it was to the fire.
In the morning, all of the rich knights had hangovers from the party and couldn't fight. All of the knights in the second kingdom got food poisoning from the fish, and the old knight died in his sleep. So, it was just all of the squires fighting. They had an epic battle, and it was a complete draw.
So, it's true as they say: the squire of the two sides is equal to the squire of the high pot noose.

Ok, well if we're doing these now. Here's one I made up when I was a kid. (apologies if I posted this like years ago in this thread; I'm not going back to check)
So Luke and Yoda are training on Dagobah. They're running along the side of a cliff, when suddenly the ledge drops off.
"Oh no," Luke says. "What will we do?"
"Hmmm, worry not," says Yoda, and he pulls out a giant fork, six feet tall. He lays it down across the gap and they make it to the other side of the ledge.
A little bit later, they come across a big wire fence standing right between them and Yoda's hovel.
"Oh no," Luke says. "What will we do?"
"Hmmm, worry not," says Yoda, and he pulls out the fork again. He uses it to pull apart the wires and make a hole in the fence.
They finally get back to Yoda's hovel, and there's a note there from Yoda's milkman explaining the new milk delivery schedule.
"Put this on the bulletin board, I should." Yoda says. But when he looks, he finds he's all out of thumb tacks!
"Hey master, I'll do it!" Luke says. He grabs the giant fork and is about to thrust it into the bulletin board, when Yoda stops him.
He says, "A Jedi uses the fork for no ledge and the fence. Never for a tack!"

Well, water transfers heat differently than air does, so touching 90C water and 90C air isn't the same. The best comparison would be a sauna. From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauna):
Air temperatures averaged around 70–80 degrees Celsius (160–180 degrees Fahrenheit) but sometimes exceeded 90 °C (194 °F) in a traditional Finnish sauna.
-
Well, fair enough then.
-
A friend of mine who went to a Finnish sauna (yes I just so happen to have a friend who is completely valid in this discussion) said it's bearable if you dress really lightly and drink lots of water. You might not be prepared if you were just sitting there in the cold (with probably a lot of clothes on).

Air temperatures averaged around 70–80 degrees Celsius (160–180 degrees Fahrenheit) but sometimes exceeded 90 °C (194 °F) in a traditional Finnish sauna.
Can't argue with Wikipedia.

If you are ever feeling cold, just stand in a corner. But beware -- this is lethal pretty much everywhere except in the US.
Corners are 90 degrees.
I don't get that. 90 degrees Celsius are acceptable and measuring in Celsius is the usual in Europe, too. Am i missing something here?
Edit: Used bold instead of spoiler by accident...
194°F is acceptable? For what purposes?
Acceptable for any purpose that requires not being exposed to a lethal temperature. 90 degrees Celsius are not lethal. 90 degrees fahrenheit are not lethal, either.
Are you sure? 90 C sounds lethal to me. This source (http://www.livescience.com/34128-limits-human-survival.html) says that "most humans will suffer hyperthermia after 10 minutes in extremely humid, 140-degree-Fahrenheit (60-degrees-Celsius) heat."
Just as I was saying! Why doesn't anyone ever read my posts?
90ºC is very much lethal, if you spend enough time in such conditions. You dehydrate quickly, and you can quickly lose consciousness.
-
Any temperature is lethal, if you spend enough time in those conditions. Valar morghulis.
90c is about as bad as -5c. Yes, both are technically dangerous but also just really not.
edit: I'm a survivor of 90c. Also a survivor of 110c, maybe more.

Conversely, any temperature is survivable, if you spend little enough time in those conditions. Not today.
-5ºC seems much better than 90ºC, as evidenced by the fact that people live in Greenland, but nobody lives right on top of a geothermal source. Even the Sahara desert is not that hot (50ºC during the day).

That's one word for it. Distraction is another.
Where you can or can't spend your life is irellevant, as we are talking about an entirely different scenario. Minute-long exposure to 90°C (as you would have if you walked in a corner to get warmed up) are obviously non-lethal, as some people have allready pointed out. What you are doing is trying to make it seem as if we were talking about a scenario where your point was actually valid - sorry, but we are not.

I think we need a "A joke thread [Serious]" thread for this discussion.

90c is about 5156.620156177°, that is not survivable.

You are very much right! I think we shouldn't fight with each other but with eHalcyon, since clearly the contention is caused by a lack of information in his original post. Do we assume that "standing in a corner" implies an intermediary state, or a final state? You assume the first, I assume the later, hence the argument.
eHalcyon, you should feel bad for posting incomplete jokes. Whether they are funny or not should not be an excuse to forget your scientific rigour. >:(

But don't you see? The 90C corner has proven itself lethal by dint of the pointless arguments it has caused! Everything is meaningless. The joke is life itself.

I would also like to add that the corner is extremely overeducated...90 degrees is quite excessive.

90 Kelvin wouldn't be survivable!

Three engineers are asked to determine the height of a building. The civil engineer grabs a transit, sets it up a known distance from the base of the building, notes the angle to the top of the building, and derives the height using geometry. (aside: not the squire of the two sides....)
The mechanical engineer goes to the top of the building, drops a weight over the side, measures the precise amount of time it takes the weight to hit the ground, and computes the height using the acceleration of gravity.
The chemical engineer goes to the janitor and trades a case of beer for the blueprints to the building.
-
(aside: not the squire of the two sides....)
You don't even use the Pythagorean theorem here... :'(
-
That's why I put in the aside. (you did see the word "not", right?)
-
(Oooh, engineer jokes!)
To determine which department was the best at problem-solving, a university organized a contest: three volunteer professors (physics, computer science, and mathematics) were locked in separate classrooms for a week. They were supplied with canned food, but not a can opener, and had to figure out a way to survive until the end of the week.
When the physicist's room was unlocked, he stepped out alive and well. The whiteboard in his classroom had a few scribbled equations, and each can had been punctured in a precise manner to extract the food inside.
When the programmer's room was unlocked, he stepped out looking tired, but satisfied. He had dismantled a chair from the classroom and used it as a club to smash open the cans of food. He made a huge mess, but survived.
When the mathematician's room was unlocked, he was found dead inside. None of the canned food had been touched. He had written equations all over the whiteboard, and then on some of the walls too. In a corner, his last message read: "I have proof that a solution exists. Now, I just need to find it."

All the engineer jokes I know are specifically related to French schools so...
Oh, I do have something else though. A mathematician, a physicist, a chemist and an a computer scientist are asked to demonstrate that all odd numbers are prime.
The mathematician goes : "3 works, 5 works, 7 works, 9 doesn't work, so no."
The physicist goes : "3 works, 5 works, 7 works, 9 doesn't work, 11 works, 13 works, so on first approximation it works."
The chemist goes : "3 works, 5 works, 7 works, 9 works, 11 works, so yeah it works."
The computer scientist goes : "3 works, 5 works, 7 works, 9 doesn't work, 9 doesn't work, 9 doesn't work, 9 doesn't work..."

I know the one you are thinking about. There's a similar one in Spain:
Before a job interview, the interviewees are asked to count to 10.
-1,3,5,7,9,10,8,6,4,2, answers the postman.
-0,1,10, answers the IT engineer.
-10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, answers the rocket scientist.
-1,2,1,2,1,2..., answers the officer in training.
-let me make a quick call, answers the management student.
-1,2,3,4,5,6,7, jack, queen, king, answers the senior undergrad.
...you might notice Spanish-Italian decks are different.
There's a whole story and delivery around it, but meh, too lazy to translate.
EDIT: for clarity.
-
I know that variant too, I wasn't sure how well the last item would translate for Americans though (and apparently we use Italian decks in France since it goes up to 10 here).

The version I've heard has a psychologist last, saying "3 works, 5 works, 7 works, and an N of 3 is plenty!"

Really? This is what a Spanish/Italian deck looks like:

This is what a belote deck looks like:
(http://www.beloteenligne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/regles-belote-32-cartes.jpg)
This is what a deck to play Tarot looks like:
(http://tarotmontreal.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/jeu-de-tarot-complet.png)
And I probably don't need to link your usual run-of-the-mill Bicycle deck garden variety.
I'm pretty sure the Spanish/Italian one is the least common of the four in France. I don't remember the exact wording of the joke, maybe it keeps going after 10?
Also woo huge images to bother everyone.
-
I misunderstood what you were saying, I thought you were saying that Spanish decks were different form Italian decks. Having not heard of that I assumed the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-jack etc. deck was Spanish, and the ones I'm familiar with (belote and tarot) were italian, which would have made sense to me since Tarot originated from Italy (as a game I mean).
It does make sense that Spain wouldn't go with the whole heart/spades/diamonds/clubs denomination, since I believe that was a normalization under the Napoleonic Empire, and you can't exactly be surprised that Spanish people would reject that.

A physicist, biologist, and mathematician are standing outside a bar. They see two people go in, but then later three people come out.
The physicist says, "Our first measurement was inaccurate."
The biologist says, "They must have reproduced."
The mathematician says, "If one more person goes in, the bar will be empty."
EDIT: Fixed the punchline, since I forgot what it actually was :P Upvote silverspawn's post.

I don't know what it is. Maybe some people upvote a female's post more likely. Maybe being one of few girls on a forum makes you easier to remember and this familiarity makes it easier to connect to your jokes. Maybe the joke was genuinely funny.
Personally, i'm above all that and only laugh at Knock Knock jokes, anyhow. Here goes:
- Knock knock

- Witch
- Witch who?
- Witch way to the King's Court, please?

There's a girl here? Oh man, now I'm all self-conscious. I've gone and picked up all my dirty clothes.
It is strange that for a game that has a high percentage of female players the forum members is comprised mostly of males. Not sure why that is.
Anyway, welcome aboard. Keep telling jokes. And hey, a joke infused with a Dominion theme is just super.

I don't think that's fair. Surprisingly enough, females can come up with funny jokes and people can find them funny for reasons that have nothing to do with anyone's gender. Why even assume that it wasn't genuinely funny in the first place?

I read enfynet's post that way. Basically i wanted to list the options of why a female would be percieved as getting a lot of respect for a joke you don't think is that funny. Listing the most obvious one last was an ironic way of saying "Or maybe it's the obvius, duh".
Hmm... Maybe it's the perception, instead. If everybody upvotes a joke i don't find funny, i'll attribute it to differing humor in general. But if it's a female telling it, it has to do with her being a her.
Edit: Also i demand more knock knock jokes!

"this triangle looks dangerous"
-
Elanchana's Goko joke was a double meaning. First, it accurately points out that Goko was often made fun of. Second, it is a play on words because Making Fun is the name of the company that took over Dominion Online after Goko. Or Goko changed their name to Making Fun. I am still not entirely clear on that. In any case, this particular play on words was pointed out when Making Fun was first brought to the attention of the community.
enfynet's "correction" capitalized "Making Fun" in order to make the joke more expicit. It is unclear whether enfynet did not realize that was part of the joke in the first place. enfynet subsequently stated that f.ds enjoys joke explanations. This appears to be a defense of his "correction", though it is still unclear whether that was the original intent or if it is an attempt to cover up an earlier misunderstanding.
If the former, the execution was lacking. Witherweaver's use of the Nathan Fillion gif is a statement that enfynet's point is objectionable, but it is unclear how, since he is correct that f.ds often uses joke explanations for humor. Given that, how can Witherweaver object? (Well, that is how I interpret it. Witherweaver may correct me if I am mistaken.)
But I can elucidate. By posting the explanation in the form of a "correction", the joke is not actually explained. Yes, the joke is made more obvious, but no explanation is delivered. An example of a proper explanation follows:
Elanchana's Goko joke was a double meaning. First, it accurately points out that Goko was often made fun of. Second, it is a play on words because Making Fun is the name of the company that took over Dominion Online after Goko. Or Goko changed their name to Making Fun. I am still not entirely clear on that.
-
Second, it is a play on words because Making Fun is the name of the company that took over Dominion Online after Goko. Or Goko changed their name to Making Fun. I am still not entirely clear on that.
Making Fun was an unrelated existing company with their own stuff going on. I think Goko still exists as an entity for paperwork or something like that, I guess I'm not entirely clear on that one. But Making Fun isn't Goko. They did hire Jeff though, who worked at Goko.

There are two kinds of people:

Second, it is a play on words because Making Fun is the name of the company that took over Dominion Online after Goko. Or Goko changed their name to Making Fun. I am still not entirely clear on that. In any case, this particular play on words was pointed out when Making Fun was first brought to the attention of the community.
enfynet's "correction" capitalized "Making Fun" in order to make the joke more expicit. It is unclear whether enfynet did not realize that was part of the joke in the first place. enfynet subsequently stated that f.ds enjoys joke explanations. This appears to be a defense of his "correction", though it is still unclear whether that was the original intent or if it is an attempt to cover up an earlier misunderstanding.
If the former, the execution was lacking. Witherweaver's use of the Nathan Fillion gif is a statement that enfynet's point is objectionable, but it is unclear how, since he is correct that f.ds often uses joke explanations for humor. Given that, how can Witherweaver object? (Well, that is how I interpret it. Witherweaver may correct me if I am mistaken.)

I actually wanted to find a "well, that's a good point" reaction gif, but couldn't find the right one. I wanted the one from community where the two guys look at each other and then point with a "hey, nice" kind of look.

Can someone explain this joke?
Certainly. The joke is that you're asking to for explanation on something you refer as a joke that's clearly a serious post. This is funny because the post was about goko and Making Fun and how they're two different things. This can be interpreted as a defense of MF, even though MF is widely considered to be just as bad as Goko in this forum. Implying that the post is a joke is an attack on this defense, resulting in a direct loss of dignity.
The second joke is the usage of "this", which on first glance is a reference to Donald's post, but on second glance is also a reference to itself. This is particularly clever, because although the post you quoted was not a joke, hence asking to explain it seems nonsensical, it is completely justified if "this" is interpreted like I described above.

...those who enjoy dark humor and those who had their legs amputated.
I knew this one with a different structure:
"Dark humour is like a pair of legs. Not everybody has it."
-
There are two kinds of people:
...those who enjoy dark humor and those who had their legs amputated.
...those who understand this joke and those who understand paradoxes.
This is very good. At first glance, formatting of the post would suggest that the topic sentence has correctly signposted that two descriptors are to come, and indeed two 'bullets' appear. However, depending on the reader's interpretation of the relationship between the coordinating conjunction "and" and the second occurrence of the demonstrative pronoun "those" in each bullet, it is unclear which of the following is being represented:
a) "kind of people" #1 is that population formed by the intersection of those enjoying dark humor and those having both legs amputated, and by extension "kind of people" #2 is that population formed by the intersection of those that understand the joke and those who understand paradoxes, OR
b) two kinds of people are listed in the first bullet, and two MORE kinds of people are listed in the second people, for a total (at a minimum) of FOUR kinds of people rather than the two that were signposted.
This perceived lack of clarity is clearly the very basis of the paradox referred to therein, giving rise to a 'nested paradox', if you will - the use of the word paradox within, rather than as a signpost for, the actual paradox.
Semanticists and/or pedants may argue whether this was truly a paradox, and grammarians may argue as to whether the second use of the demonstrative pronoun in each bullet makes it clear that there are two populations described in each bullet. Nonetheless, the overall effect is both subtly funny AND paradoxical, fully qualifying it for the thread. Masterful, indeed.
TL;DR - Venn diagrams are your friend.

I would fall in both the "semanticist and/or pedant" and "grammarian" categories, despite being pretty underqualified for the latter.

That doesn't make any sense. Torus is a noun, not an adjective, so it can't describe a "way". You should have said "toroidal". And homeomorphic is always relative to something, so it doesn't mean anything by itself. You should have said "homeomorphic to each other". And if recursive definitions make you uneasy, you could also combine the two: "homeomorphic to a torus".
Please don't thank me for improving your correction, I do it with great pleasure.

*Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, dead at 53. Over Barcelona today, the famed reindeer was hit by a flock of seagulls and a 747. Eyewitnesses report, that the reindeer in Spain was hit mainly by the plane.
*Famous Playboy Hugh Hefner managed to successfully stop an order of monks from operating a business on his property. The police forced the friars to close down their stall, which was outside the Playboy mansion where they had been selling flowers. Said one friar, well, if it was anyone else we may have gotten away from it, but, unfortunately, only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
*A scientist today admitted that he paid a prostitute over a thousand dollars to take a special chemical compound with some sparkling water in attempts to increase her IQ by over 80 points. The experiment failed, however, which proves: you can lead a whore to water but you can’t make her think.
*Our top story today: Convicted hit man Jimmy 'Two-Shoes' McClarty confessed today that he was once hired to beat a cow to death in a rice field using only two small porcelain figures. Police admit this may be the first known case of a knickknack paddy-whack.

I'm loving the interpretations of that joke. Since it wasn't entirely clear, I'll now explain it. The reason I'm going to do that is that it will make it funnier, as I have explained why it was funny in the first place. The spoiler was representing the colour black. I was saying I like my coffee black, which is a kind of coffee, and I also like my people black. In other words I was saying I like black people. This is quite an old joke, which is what the format of joke was based on, and therefore this was a funny cryptic joke to make.
I hope my explanation is clear to all of you. I for one don't understand what I just typed.

I like my Brezels how i like to take Table's jokes: With a grain of salt.
I'm just now realizing that this maybe doesn't quite mean what i intended to say. I made sure before to check the german translation and was pretty certain that "take with a grain of salt" could mean "don't take too serious". Checking again today i realized it's probably(?) more of a "take it with a skeptical attitude".
So, while i don't always agree with Tables, it wasn' t my intent to inopportunely say "Tables' jokes are mean if you look close enough". Sorry if it came along like that.
If i got the translation right and nobody upvoted it simply because you thought it wasn't funny, i can live with that. But it's tough... :'(

I thought it a clever joke. I didn't know what a Brezel was, but I figured out from the context that it's something that can be salted for additional flavor (true for most foods).
But I don't upvote everything I laugh at, so you'll have to be content with the knowledge that it made people laugh even if it doesn't have a lot of upvotes. I don't post for the upvotes. I post because I'm brilliant and wish to share that brilliance with the rest of you.

Which "English" language are you referring to? British? Canadian? Irish? Southern? Merriam-Webster? Politically-Correct?
In practice, these can be as different as Spanish-Portugese-Italian.

One more joke for Joseph:
It is the World Cup, it is just before Brazil plays England in the decisive game that could decide who stays and goes home.
Neymar goes into the Brazilian changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum.
"What's up?" he asks.
"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only England. They're sh*t and we can't be bothered."
Neymar looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat them by myself, you lads go down to the pub."
So Neymar goes out to play England by himself, while the rest of the Brazilian team go off for a few beers. After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the TV on. A big cheer goes up as the screen shows:
Brazil 1 (Neymar 10 minutes) - England 0
"He is beating England all by himself," a player exclaimed. After the game is long forgotten a few beers later, a player remembers and says, "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on." The players check, and see:
"Results: Brazil 1(Neymar 10 minutes) - England 1 (Rooney 89 minutes)."
The players can't believe it, Neymar had single handedly gotten a draw against England! The Brazilians rush back to the Stadium to congratulate Neymar, and they find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sitting with his head in his hands.
Neymar refuses to look at his fellow team mates. "I've let you all down, I've let you all down," he says sadly.
"Don't be stupid, you got a draw against England all by yourself, and they only scored at the last second!"
Neymar sighs and replies, "No, No, I have. I've let you down! I got sent off after 12 minutes."

There is a group of people called the Trids. The area where they live doesn't have much food, but there's a mountain near them that has tons of food at the top of it. They love climbing mountains and are really good at it, so they live a happy life getting their food from the mountain.
But, one day, a terrible monster comes to the mountain and starts kicking the Trids down the mountain whenever they climb up. They now have no food. One day a rabbi comes into their village and they ask him to see if he can do anything about the monster. He decides to climb up the mountain to help.
The journey takes him a couple weeks, because he's not used to climbing mountains. The whole time, he sees Trids going up the mountain, then later toppling down after being kicked. Finally, he reaches the top. The monster is up there, with a tea party ready for the rabbi! The rabbi goes up to the monster and asks why he's so mean to the Trids but nice to himself. The monster replies, "Silly rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"

On the Jesus-related subject, someone on a different forum raised this objection relating to Jesus's Road to Emmaus appearance after his resurrection
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_to_Emmaus_appearance
My favourite part is how the disciplines didn't recognize Jesus despite spending the day on the road with him. It was only when he broke bread that they realized. That tells us several amazing things. Firstly, he looked like a completely different dude after the resurrection. Like people who lived with him couldn't tell. Hell, he might have been white pre resurrection and black after. Or a chick. Whatever. Secondly, he had such an unbelievably unique way of breaking bread that the logical conclusion wasn't "hey, did you grow up in Nazareth?" or "did you learn that from someone because I know a guy who broke it like that too?". The only logical conclusion that they could reach was that this man, or woman, who looked like a completely different person was the same person as Jesus, who they knew was dead, and that he must have come back, but looking differently.
We're talking something so incredibly unique that resurrection and transformation is more believable than it being replicated by anyone else. This breaking of the bread is world changing, it'll challenge everything you know about bread, breaking and the universe to the point that resurrection seems standard. And this was just how Jesus broke bread every time, they recognized that it was his special way of doing it.
I would love to know what that breaking involved. If he did it with his mind or if angels sliced it with flaming swords or whatever else I can't imagine which is more unbelievable than resurrection. If Jesus came back it's the breaking of the bread I'd want to see.

A parabola is the shape made by the graph of a quadratic function (i.e. something with an x2 term in it (and possibly linear and constant terms)). Arguably the joke would have been more accurate if Jesus had said, "The graph of y=3x2-4x+1", rather than just saying the function by itself.

Another old joke I just remembered:
A lot of people don't know how Canada got its name. It turns out, when it was first founded, its founders couldn't decide on a name. After lots of heated discussions and some long brainstorming sessions, they finally decided that the best thing to do would be to just leave it up to chance. So they mixed up all the letters and put them in a hat, and brought up a Canadian guy to pull them out. He pulled the first letter and it was a C, so he said "C, eh?" He pulled the next letter and it was an N, so he said, "N, eh?" Finally he pulled the last letter and it was a D, so he said, "D, eh?" And that's how Canada got its name!

EDIT: When I saw the names of the Tool song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z2O289Jemo&list=PL69D8CB22B8B037C9&index=2), I assumed that "parabola" was just "parable" in another language or something, but now I realize it's referring to some math formula shape. ...which doesn't make a lot of sense to me but it's not surprising from what I've heard about Maynard.

I thought about pointing out that there probably are vastly more people on the globe that are familiar with parabolas than with Jesus (or at least, familiar enough to know he spoke in parables), but as the joke limits the audience to english speakers, and more, to the demographic of this forum, i wasn't sure anymore.

Well, I didn't know that the Jesus things were called "parables" in English (although it was not very hard to guess since I was familiar with the word from other contexts). I guess it's not a super good argument since Finnish seems to be one of the few languages where the word for parable does not resemble the English word, but it's not inconceivable that someone here would actually have to ask what sudgy thought LA was asking.

The right answer is to never give an answer when a woman asks you to guess her age. Or always say 21. The last time that happened to me, I thought she looked around 51-52, so I guessed 45. Turns out she was 38.

A young boy asks a woman how old she is; she wants him to guess her age.
He says: "Hmmm, maybe you are 40 years old?"
She answers: "Well ... you're right, I am exactly 40 years old. But listen, if you want to be gentle, always guess 10 years less when guessing a womans age".
He replies: "Sorry ma'am, I tried to do so!"

The difference between 45 and 38 doesn't sound like a big deal to me though.

You just answer "85?". Works every time, 60% of the time.

I tend bar part time and I'm always surprised at the different reactions I get when I ask women to prove their age. Twice in the past two weeks I asked women who both happened to be a very youthful 34 for their ID. The first was thrilled, and I caught her telling her Dad, who came in later, the story. The second woman was PISSED, like I'd done her bodily harm. Go figure.

A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch.
"I couldn't help noticing how happy you look," she said. "What's your secret for a long happy life?"
"I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day," he said. "I also drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fatty foods, and never exercise."
"That's amazing," the woman said. "How old are you?'
"Twenty-six."

Calment's remarkable health presaged her later record. At age 85 (1960), she took up fencing, and continued to ride her bicycle up until her 100th birthday. She was reportedly neither athletic nor fanatical about her health.[9] Calment lived on her own until shortly before her 110th birthday, when it was decided that she needed to be moved to a nursing home after starting a small fire in her house, caused by a cooking accident, which has been attributed to complications with sight. However, Calment was still in good shape, and continued to walk until she fractured her femur during a fall at age 114 years 11 months (January 1990), which required surgery.[5][14]
Calment smoked cigarettes from the age of 21 (1896) to 117 (1992),[2][15] though according to an unspecified source, she smoked no more than two cigarettes per day towards the end of her life.[16] After her operation, Calment needed to use a wheelchair. In 1994, age 119, she weighed 45 kilograms (99 lb).
Calment ascribed her longevity and relatively youthful appearance for her age to a diet rich in olive oil[4] (which she also rubbed onto her skin), as well as a diet of port wine, and ate nearly one kilogram (2.2 lb) of chocolate every week. She also credited her calmness, saying, "That's why they call me Calment."[17] Calment reportedly remained mentally intact until her very end.[4]
On 4 August 1997, around 10 AM Central European Time [18] Calment died, aged 122. After her death, 116-year-old Marie-Louise Meilleur became the oldest recognized living person.

The bartender gives him a beer, stares at him, and asks:
"Sir, have you noticed that you have a ship's wheel coming out of your pants?"
And the pirate answers:
"Arrrr, it be drivin' me nuts!"

My favorite version of that joke was always:

"Sir, have you noticed that you have a ship's wheel coming out of your pants?"
And the pirate answers:
"Yes, there was a terrible nautical accident. Please call an ambulance immediately."

What is the pink panther's favorite type of quark?

I am not sure if this joke get's funnier when explained, but I'd be grateful if somebody would try and find out.

There are a bunch of different types of quarks, one of the types is bottom quark. Meanwhile, there's a movie/TV show franchise called The Pink Panther, whose musical theme song features a repeated rhythmic pattern with two fairly short notes followed by a rest, ending with a fairly long note, which could be written out as "ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm". Because "ba-dum" sounds like "bottom", this is why the bottom quark is the pink panther's favorite type of quark.

Billy, Frank, Tim, and Joe are best friends, and have been playing bridge together every Thursday night for the past 28 years, without missing a week. Suddenly Joe dies of a heart attack. The three friends, devastated, travel back to Wisconsin to attend his funeral. Joe's mother, a sweet, elderly woman, insists that the three of them, if comfortable, stay with her, rather than spending money for a hotel.
When the three friends arrive, Joe's mother is very happy to greet them. They talk for a bit, and eventually Tim asks her if she has any hobbies. She is very excited to tell them about her love of flying drones, and the three friends, intrigued by this hobby, ask if she can show them one. "One?" she asks. "I can show you my whole collection!"
The old lady very excitedly leads them downstairs into a basement, where sure enough, the whole room, wall to wall, is filled with various types of drones. As she is rambling on and on about her obsession, Frank notices a bird very calmly perched in a corner of the room. "Would you like us to help you shoo this bird out of the house?" he asked.
"Oh no, please don't!" she responded. "That's my pet, Belle."
"Oh," replied Frank, somewhat embarrassed. "I assumed she didn't belong here, because there's no cage or anything. She seems very well trained! What kind of bird is she?"
"She's a common tern," the woman replied. "But she's common in name only. You see, this is no ordinary tern, she can talk!"
The three friends, skeptical but excited, approached the bird. "Hi Belle, I'm Tim," said Tim.
"Hi Tim, I'm Belle," she replied. "I'm very sorry for your loss," she added.
The three friends couldn't believe it! Amazed, they continued asking it questions, while Joe's mother received a phone call and slipped out of the room for privacy. As they continued chatting with the bird, the conversation turned to bridge. "You know," said the bird, "I've never played before, but I know it was very important to the three of you, and to Joe, and I'd be interested to learn. I know I could never replace Joe, but if you ever need a fourth player, I'd be happy to play. There's a card table over there in the corner," she said, flying to the other side of the room.
The three friends, marveling at the thought of playing bridge with a talking bird, pulled out the table, sat down and began teaching the bird the rules and some basic strategy tips. She seemed to grasp everything quickly, and she fit right in with the three of them. Since Frank and Tim were always partners, they decided that Belle should be Billy's partner. She was certainly no expert, but the three were impressed by how quickly she learned.
But a few minutes into it, Billy started talking about politics. The friends have always had their disagreements, but Billy, a big supporter of Donald Trump, did not want to be partners with someone who couldn't see eye-to-eye with him. So he began questioning the bird's political views, asking her if she supported Trump, etc. Belle clearly felt uncomfortable, like she was being singled out by this, and pressured to say things she didn't agree with.
Eventually, Billy offered an ultimatum, saying, "You know, I can't force you to change your beliefs, but I'd just feel a little bit better if you would wear this 'Make America Great Again' hat, if we're gonna be partners, so I can really feel like we're on the same side."
The bird put the cap on, but was clearly very uncomfortable.
"Should we do something about this?" Frank asked Tim.
"I wouldn't worry about it," Tim replied. "He's just trying to set up a drone room bridge MAGA tern."
