    1) It has been said that the truth hurts. But as comedy great Homer
    Simpson once remarked "it's funny 'cause it's true" which is true
    because its funny.
    For example, take this "knock knock" joke:
    Me - Knock Knock
    Someone else - Who's there?
    Me - Joanna
    Someone else - Joanna who?
    Me - Joanna Zorya

    2) Swapping the first letters of words is funny, as in "what's the
    difference between a coyote and a flea? One howls on the prairie and
    the other prowls on the hairy"
    Here's an example of that principle in action:
    What's the difference between Father Christmas and a pair of scissors?
    One Delivers Presents, the other Pelivers Dresents.

    3) Puns are good because of their universal accessibility. So for
    example:
    Where do curlews play tennis?
    At Wimbreldon.

    4) Toilet humour is considered very funny:
    Why did the chicken cross the road?
    To go to the toilet.

    5) Jokes based on foreign words are funny. So the joke "what's orange
    and sounds like a parrot? Answer - "a carrot", when translated into
    Spanish becomes:
    ¿Cuál es anaranjado y suena como un loro?
    ¡Una zanahoria!

    6) Cheese is funny, for example:
    What's made of cheese and looks a bit like a snowman?
    A cheeseman.

    7) Comedy voices are innately funny. Here are two examples:
    "Let me eat cake"
    "Look kid, there's three kinds of potatoes in this world."

    koyo Passed away, but always remembered. RIP.

    Scottish humour is dark.

    This guy tells his mate that his father died.
    Mate .that is sad

    Not too sad he died of a heart attack it was sudden one minute he was fine next minute gone. At least he did not die screaming and gibbering.







    Like the passengers in the plane he was flying.

    regards koyo

    Ah, but that's so passé, my dear.

    Haven't you heard that innocent is the new disaffected?

    I don't get it...????
    Is this thread meant to be funny?

    Anyone wanna hear some Heath Ledger jokes to liven things up?
    They might not be funny but they will be offensive. :)
