Stop me if you heard this one! Anybody have a one-liner or short, clean, joke they'd like to tell?

Asked by Sueanne_Tremendous (11290points) November 10th, 2009

I love one-liners and quick jokes. The old Borscht Belt comics were hilarious and many of their jokes are as funny today as they were back then. Here’s on on my faves:

A drunk was
in front of a judge. The judge says, “You’ve
been brought here for drinking.” The drunk
says “Okay, let’s get
started.”

I’d love to hear yours.

Two fish were in a tank. One said to the other, “I’ll drive, you man the turret.”

A couple more:

Someone stole all my credit cards but I won’t be
reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife
did.

We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

I’ve always been a fan of the Groucho Marx one-liners.

“Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”

“I’ve got the brain of a four year old. I’ll bet he was glad to be rid of it. ”

“One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I’ll never know. ”

I told that joke to a room of people a couple weeks ago, and nobody got it. Talk about crickets in the room…

Man, I love escalators…an escalator can never break. It can only become stairs.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks, “why the long face?” Hahaha! Okay. It’s not that funny.

Let’s talk ethics…two guys own a laundry, one day one of them finds $20 in a customers pant pocket and thinks, “should I share it with my partner or not?”

Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn’t much, but the reception was excellent.

I have a really terrible one… made worse by the fact that it was told to me by a friend who was in the seminary at the time:
A priest, a rapist and a pedophile walk into a bar…. and that’s just the first guy!
I need to point out he didn’t think it was funny but had been hearing a lot of this kind of stuff and taking crap for wanting to become a priest. He was venting.

@Les I GOT IT!! Took me a while, but I got it! LOL!

A guy opened his frizzer, to find a wabbit sleeping in there. Dude says, “Wabbit, what are you doing in my frizzer?” Wabbit says, “Is this a westing house?” Dude says, “Yes.” Wabbit says, “Well, I’m just westing!”

Man, I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask where they’re going and meet up with them later.

@Dr_C Actually it’s an old Bill Maher joke from his early stand up days.

“My dog has no nose.”
“How does he smell?”
“Terrible!”

Guy takes his dog to the vet. The vet picks up the dog and looks him all over before saying ,“I’m going to have to put this dog down.” The man gasps, “Oh my God Doc! Why?”

“Because he’s getting heavy”, replies the the vet.

Let’s keep the Mitch train rolling.

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.
A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.
I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.
I haven’t slept for ten days, because that would be too long.
If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be fucked up.
I drank some boiling water ‘cause I wanted to whistle.
My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.

And my personal favourite!

I had a parrot. The parrot talked, but it did not say “I’m hungry,” so it died.

gggritso's avatar

@Blondesjon I am now going to back away slowly. I’ll just say that I don’t have a dog.

Strauss's avatar

This one’s not a one-liner, but I hope it’s quick enough to qualify:

So I went to the shrink and told him “Doc, ever since I was a child I always had a fear that there was someone under my bed. I’m scared. I think I’m going crazy!”
The psychiatrist told me, “Just put yourself in my hands for one year, Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.”
”‘How much do you charge?” I asked him.
“Eighty dollars per visit,” replied the doctor.
“I’ll sleep on it,” I said.

Six months later the doctor met me on the street. “Why didn’t you ever come to see me about those fears you were having?” he asked.
“Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!”
“Is that so!’ With a bit of an attitude he said, “and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?”
“He told me to cut the legs off the bed! – Ain’t nobody under there now!!!”

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer’s research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely NO recollection of what to do with them.

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.
