Okay... I don't have a joke here. I was trying to move the other joke thread over here but I'm not able to. Guess the joke's on me because I can't delete it either.

:huh:

Jokes that go over well at church gatherings...

Q: What do you get when you cross a Jehovah's Witness with a Unitarian Universalist?

A: Somebody who knocks on your door for no reason whatsoever.

_____________________

This one is funny if you're not Mormon (and maybe even if you are):

God called the Pope and said, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want first?"

The Pope said, "Well, give me the good news first."

So God said, "I have decided to grant your prayer for world peace."

"That's great!" said the Pope. "What could the bad news possibly be after that?"

"Well," said God, "I'm calling from Salt Lake City."

Good, but I had sort of hoped that it would have continued in the musical vein.

Brad... there's room for musical jokes and nonmusical jokes. There's more stuff to make fun of than banjo and ukulele players, although they (we) seem to be at the top of the list.

:hammer:

Not a joke per-se, but funny.

My ex-wife was going through one of our closets and sorting things out.  At the time she was about 7 months pregnant.

As women do she was "That goes out.  This Kayrn can use. This just needs washing..." and so on.  Putting the items in piles as she talked to herself.

My 4 year-old son was sitting nearby watching the process.

She pulled a pair of childs sneakers out and said, "We'll give these to the baby."

My son Rustan eyed her up and down for a few moments and then asked, "How do we get them in there?"

I realized that this site has made Richard well known all over the world, but I didn't realize how well known untill I visited Rome this summer.  A large crowd was standing outside St.Peter's  when the door  on the  balcony of the of the Pope's apartment opened and out stepped the Pope with his arm around Richard.

The topper was when the guy next to me asked, "Hey, who's ah da guy with Richard?"

Haha... that's funny Preston. Honestly though, most of the people I know aren't even aware that I'm a musician. They think I'm a medical transcriptionist. Boring, but true.

On the other hand, most of the people I know wouldn't recognize the pope, so maybe you've got a point.

:type:

That's very similar to an old song written by Steve Goodman and John Prine "You Never Even Call Me By My Name". Their song wanted to include everything that was in country songs, and they forgot a lot, so they put it all into the last verse:

"Ever since the dog got drunk and died and Momma went to prison,
There ain't nothin' round this farm that's been the same.
And, you know, when Momma broke out last Christmas,
She drove the god damned getaway laundry truck right into a train."
:laugh10:

I sure miss Steve Goodman!
Amy

Hi Amy

I didn't claim it as mine but its nice to find out its source as I'm sure this is.

It,s strange the way these things metamorphose on the grapevine. I think I first heard it by either Billy Connolly or Jasper Carrot, but the words I sing Are just a vague recollection of what I heard before the days of video tape.

On the same point I was sitting watching Cool Hand Luke the other night and low and behold I here Plastic Jesus. Of course its completely different words and structure to the version I do but then I first heard it handed down through god knows how many variations, transpositions,interpretations etc until the two versions didn't have lot in common other than the title, the tune and the odd line here and there.

But isn't that the way folk music should be learnt and played? Original source is fantastic and early recordings may give an idea of how these songs sounded a100+ years ago but I feel folk music is best served by the oral / hand it on tradition as this creates the rich variation that means you can hear these songs time and again without tiring of them.

Thanks again for that source Amy

Hear you soon

MARK

wab-

just for you, some Doctor jokes (well, not jokes, really, but funny):

EMBARRASSING MEDICAL EXAMS

1. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs ---and I was in the wrong one.

Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Antonio, TX.


2. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," replied the patient.


Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle, WA


3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart."

Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg


4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one?" I asked. "The patch, the nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.

Submitted by Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk, VA


5.. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered..."Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was alive."

Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis, OR


6. I was caring for a woman and asked, "So how's your breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste" the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."

Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI


7. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."

Submitted by RN no name


AND FINALLY!!!................


8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB, I was quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams. To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling was, "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener".

Dr. Wouldn't submit his name

(Can't blame him!)

Brad
