Two oranges are sitting side-by-side on a wall. The first orange says to the other 'Where do you live, then?'. The second orange replies 'I'm not going to tell you - you might come round and steal my washing....'.

You probably have to work with these people to find this funny, but I still find it hilarious:

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man below says: "Yes you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field between 40 & 41 deg. latitude and 120 and 124 deg West longitude."

"You must be an Architect," says the balloonist.

"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's of absolutely no use to me and I still don't know where I am."

The man below says, "You must be a contractor."

"Well, yes," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," says the man, "You don't know where you are, or where you're going and you've made a promise that you can't keep but now you expect me to solve your problem; and you're in the same position as you were before we met, but now it's my fault.

All I can guess is that it's some sorta No Soap Radio thing.

Or maybe that you're expecting the punch-line to have something to do with the oranges being anthropomorphized, but then it's just a banal line about washing.

A man takes a taxi from the airport. The taxi comes to a red traffic light and drives straight through - leaving behind cars swerving, horns hooting and general pandemonium. The passenger loosens his grip on the seat to see the driver carrying on unconcerned. They come to another set of red traffic lights and again the driver goes straight through unconcerned, leaving pandemonium in his wake.
'Excuse me,' says the passenger, 'you do know you've just gone through two red traffic lights?'
'Ah relax,' says the driver, 'my brother does it all the time and he's never come to any harm.'
Just then they come to a green traffic light, and the driver swears and slams on the brakes screeching to a halt, and the traffic piles up behind him.
'Why are you stopped? This light's green,' says the passenger.
'My brother might be coming the other way.'

A recently widowed elderly lady was standing next to her late husbands coffin at the Funeral Director's. She looked at his body dressed in his best blue suit and burst into tears.

"This is so sad" she said. "My husband always said he wanted to be buried in a grey suit, but I am just a poor widow and can't afford to buy a new suit".

The funeral director nodded sympathetically, but knew there was very little he could do.

The day before the funeral, the widow returned to the funeral director to say her last goodbye, and was amazed to see her late husband lying in the coffin but dressed in a grey suit.

"This is wonderful" she said to the funeral director. "How did you manage to dress my husband in a grey suit?"

"Well" said the funeral director "just after you left last time, another lady came in. Her husband was dressed in a grey suit, but she said that he had always wanted to be buried in a blue suit. From that moment on, the problem was solved. All I had to do was to swap the heads over"

I liked the one about the snooker table. As a teenager, I used to live in an adult apartment complex that had eight! I played fairly well back in the day...

Can't think of a good joke for today just now.

A lady flying in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She reduces her altitude and spots another lady in a field down below. She lowers the balloon further and shouts, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"
The lady below says, "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, about 30 feet above this field."
"You must be a technical director," says the balloonist.
"I am. How did you know?"
"Everything you told me is technically correct, but it's of no use to anyone."
The lady below says, "You must be in labour."
"I am. But how did you know?"
"You don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."

Baby polar bear wanders into the igloo's kitchen as mama polar bear is doing the dishes and says, "Mama, were your parents, granny and grandpa polar bear, really polar bears and not brown bears by chance?" "What a silly question," says mama polar bear, "of course they were polar bears."

Baby polar bear is confused so he wanders down the hall to the den where daddy polar bear is relaxing in his recliner watching football. "Dad," says baby polar bear, "where your parents, grandmother and grandfather polar bear really polar bears and not, just maybe, black bears?" "Don't be stupid, kid," says daddy polar bear, "of course they were polar bears."

Baby polar bear is really confused and turns to find mama polar bear standing behind him. "What's got into you, son? Why all this concern about our family not being polar bears?"

Baby polar bear looks down and a bit ashamed, but then rears up and yells: "I'm freezing!"

I'm very fond of old Soviet-era jokes, and especially the question-and-answer format known as 'Radio Yerevan' jokes. This is my favourite one of that genre:

Question: "Tell me, Comrade, when Communism is finally achieved and the state withers away, will there still be a need for a police force?"

Answer: "No, Comrade! Under Communism, every citizen will enjoy the right of self-arrest."

Yes, I like the one a Czech friend told us:

Husák decides to find out what people really think of him. He goes incognito to a beer hall, and asks a local 'what do you think of the President?'

'Sssshhh! Not here!'

So they go out into the street, and he repeats his question.

'We're under a streetlight! We can be seen.'

So they move to a dark corner. 'Now, tell me what you think of the President'.

'We're too close to buildings. We might be overhead.'

So they tramp until they find a deserted, unlit piece of waste ground, hundreds of yards from any structure. 'OK, nobody can possibly see or hear us. NOW TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THE PRESIDENT!'

'I think he's quite a nice chap, actually.'

Only one . . . but it takes a long time, is very expensive, and the lightbulb has to **want** to change.

On the modern Sea of Galilee a profiteering boat owner was charging exorbetant rates for trips across the lake.

In order to drum up interest he was calling out " Come and take a trip on the very same stretch of water across which Jesus walked !"

A passing Australian tourist responded, and came up only to look in horror at the boatman's charges .
He says to the man "Blimey mate . I danno who this Jesus geezer was, but lookin at yor prices I'm nat surpr-ised he decided to walk it.

Not crucial to the joke, could have been any nationality.

That's a good one, Firenze. I told a similar one at work a little while ago, substituting 'The Vice-Chancellor'* for Husak, and it went down very well!

*Not all shipmates may know that in the UK University sector hating the V-C (the executive head of the University) is a widely-held and time-honoured tradition, almost regardless of the V-C's actual merits. But ours really is a complete four-letter man.

Or, as I heard it:

Six--one to change it, and five to talk behind her back about how much better they could have done it.
