An American visiting in England asked at the hotel for the elevator.
The portiere looked a bit confused but smiled when he realized what the man wanted.
"You must mean the lift," he said.
"No," the American responded. "If I ask for the elevator I mean the elevator."
"Well," the portiere answered, "over here we call them lifts".
"Now you listen", the American said rather irritated, "someone in America invented the elevator."
"Oh, right you are sir," the portiere said in a polite tone, "but someone here in England invented the language."
Come on everyone...bring 'em on.

Mark I don't think Ive laughed that hard in a long time! Thanks for sharing
Love the photo, Mark!!
Stacie - Blood Drive.... LOL
OK - here's mine. It didn't make the cut for my "clean jokes" Hub...
One day a nun was standing on the side of the road waiting for a cab. A cab stopped and picked her up. During the ride she noticed that the driver was staring hard at her.
When she asked him why, he said, “I want to ask you something, but I don’t want to offend you.”
She said, “You can’t offend me. I have been a nun long enough that I have heard just about everything.”
The cab driver then said, “Well, I’ve always had the fantasy of having a nun give me a blow job.”
She said, “Well, perhaps we can work something out under two conditions. First, you have to be single, and second you have to be Catholic.”
Immediately the cab driver said, “Oh, yes! I’m single and I’m Catholic!”
The nun said, “Okay, pull into that alleyway over there.”
The cab driver pulled into the alleyway and the nun went to it. Soon after the nun was finished, the cab driver started crying.
The nun said, “My child, what’s the matter?”
He said tearfully, “Sister, I have sinned. I lied, I lied…I’m married and I’m Jewish!”
The nun replied, “That’s okay. My name’s Jeff and I’m on my way to a costume party!”
Little Mary was not the best student in a Catholic school. Usually, she slept thru the class.
One day, the teacher -- a nun -- called on her while she was sleeping.
"Tell me, Mary, who created the Universe?"
When Mary didn't stir, little Johny, who was sitting behind her, took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear.
"God Almighty!" shouted Mary.
A little later, the nun asked Mary a second question: "Who is our Lord and Savior?"
But Mary didn't stir, so once again Johny came to her rescue and stuck Mary in the butt.
"Jesus Christ!" shouted Mary.
And the nun once again said, "Very good," and Mary fell back asleep.
The nun asked Mary a third question: "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her 23rd child?"
Again Johny came to her resue and stuck the pencil into her butt.
This time Mary jumped up and shouted, "If you stick that thing in me once more, I'll break it in half!"
On hearing this, the nun fainted.
Great stuff so far.
Why did the mexican throw his wife off the roof?

I´m loving to read this thread!
During a visit to a insane asylum this politic (it could be Bush) asked the Director which were the criterion to determine if a patient is cured or not.
- Well, we fill a bathtub and offer a spoon and a cup and ask the patient to empty the tub.
- I understood. Then a normal person must choose the cup which is larger. Right!?
- Wrong, a normal person takes the cover and lets the tub drain by itself...
Two hydrogen atoms meet.

Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan . . ." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
This is our family's current fave:
FUNDING CUTS IN THE ARMY RESERVE
A guy goes off to his Army Reserve training, and the Sarge explains that due to funding cuts, they will have to change procedures. Instead of issuing everyone with rifles, they will need to pretend they have rifles, and when they want to fire the rifles, they are to yell "bangity bang bang!"
This seems a little odd to the recruit, but it's only training, after all.
So they head off into the field for the exercise. After a long, boring period of watching his allocated section of bush, he sees a movement.
"Bangity bang bang!" he yells.
The movement continues, getting closer.
"Bangity bang bang!" he yells again.
The bushes part, an a member of the opposing team appears.
"Bangity bang bang! Bangity bang bang! Come on, you're dead! You have to lie down!"
The other guy just keeps on coming.
Our hero braces himself, and as the other guy gets close enough, he whips out his imaginary bayonet.
"Stabbity stab stab!" he yells. "Stabbity stab stab!"
The other guy just keeps moving forward, trampling our valiant hero into the dirt, muttering "Tankity tank tank, tankity tank tank ..."

These are so funny! Can you tell that I love jokes! (my hubs, my jokes, my previous posts?!?)
Thoughts for the day:
Few women admit their age. Few men act theirs.
For Sale: Parachute. Only used once, never opened, small stain.
I wouldn't be caught dead with a necrophiliac.
Who stopped payment on my reality check?
Give me ambiguity or give me something else!
Happy Friday everyone!!
This is so much fun. I keep waiting for Gabe Kaplan to walk in the thread with one of his jokes about a relative circa Welcome Back, Kotter.
BTW, West Coast Rap Pioneer turned actor Ice Cube is playing Kotter's role in the movie version which comes out next year.
Ice Cube as Kotter? There's something wrong with that picture! I hope you're joking!
Not joking. I think you should wait and see about this one.
Besides Kaplan himself thought it was a brilliant choice.
This is my daughter's favorite joke.....

Well, Stacie, if epigrams count I have to plug Ashleigh Brilliant just a little.
I have abandoned my search for Truth, and am now looking for a good fantasy.
I understand birth, and I understand death - it's the part in between that confuses me.
If chocolate could teach, I would by now be very well-educated.
I need you in my life, to help me deal with the problems you inevitably bring.
My life has a fantastic cast of characters, but I am having trouble following the plot.
It's always a nice day in outer space.
Parents and children are not naturally friends, but in some cases, lifetime bonds have been formed.
I agree with every one of your irrefutable premises, but I do not agree with your inescapable conclusion.
I am still waiting for some public reaction to my arrival on Earth.

OK, here's my favourite religious joke.
Of All time.
Ever.
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!"
He said, "Nobody loves me."
I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?"
He said, "A Christian."
I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?"
He said, "Protestant."
I said, "Me, too! What franchise?"
He said, "Baptist."
I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Baptist."
I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist."
I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region."
I said, "Me, too!" Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912."
I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
And for an encore . . . . . .a few one liners.
· When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised, the Lord doesn't work that way. So I just stole one and asked Him to forgive me ... and I got it!
· So I'm at the wailing wall, standing there like a moron, with my harpoon."
· A Mormon told me that they don't drink coffee. I said, "A cup of coffee every day gives you wonderful benefits." He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well, it keeps you from being Mormon ..."
· I'm not Catholic, but I gave up picking my belly button for lint.

This one can also be told by women (just change the characters) so don´t be mad with me :
A man enter in his house and yells to his wife:
- Mary, pick your things. I just win the lottery!
Mary answered:
- Do you think I should take warm clothing for cold weather or light ones for hot temperatures?
The man answered:
- Take everything, you're leaving.

There are two rules for success: 1.) Don't tell all you know
Dont know if you guys have heard this, but I really liked this one. It comes with a morale as well
*******************************************************************************************
A priest offered a Nun a lift.
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.
The priest nearly had an accident.
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'
*******************************************************************************************
Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Another one with a moral - great for the business people out there.

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
This joke came from my 10 years nephew. I was shocked.

A grade 5 teacher one day asked the children in her class to make rhymes with their names.
First up was Dan. A very adventurous child.
"My name is Dan,
When I grow up to be a man,
I want to go to India and Japan ,
If I can, If I can, If I can. "
"Very good", the teacher said to Dan. She then asked Sally that it was now her turn.
"My name is Sally,
When I grow up to be a lady,
I want to have a baby
If I can, if I can, if I can. "
"That is good Sally," the teacher said. "But maybe one day you will change your mind."
Next up was Glenn. He was the naughty one in the class. Here is his rhyme:
"My name is Glenn,
When I grow up to be a man,
Never mind India and Japan ,
I'm gonna help Sally with her plan,
I know I can, I can, I can. "
Okay, it's not Friday, but...(my boss is gone for the day and not coming to work tomorrow, so it feels like one!):
Wife: Darling, you hate all my relatives.
Husband: "No, I don`t hate your relatives. In fact, I like your mother-in-law better than I like mine.

All the family gathered at the old people's home to celebrate Great Grandmother's 97 birthday.
The Grandmother cannot talk and uses a pad to communicate. The family wheeled her out under a tree so she could sit in her wheelchair with the family.
After awhile Grandmother started to lean forward and they pushed her back propping her up with a pillow. Soon Grandmother started to lean to her right and they pushed her back up and propped her up with another pillow. Soon she leant to her left and they pushed her back and propped her up with a pillow.
The Grandson ran over to Grandmother and said, "How's it going Gran" and she wrote on her note pad. It said, "They won't let me fart".
One of my favorite jokes: Quentin Tarantino in Desperado
(If you haven't seen Desperado, you may want to know that it's already been established that the beer in this bar tastes like piss.)
Son : Daddy, have you ever been to Egypt?
Father : No. Why do you ask that?
Son : Well, where did you get mummy then?
