A piece of string walks into a bar and asks for a drink.
The Barman tells him to "Get Out!. We don't serve string here"
A few minutes later, the string goes into the bar again, and asks for a drink.
The barman says "We don't serve string here, I told you. You're a piece of string aren't you?"
The string says "No, I'm a frayed knot"

I was told ...
How many tenors etc.?
Just the one. He hold the bulb up to the socket and the world revolves around him.
Or, oboe players ....?
Only one, but he needs a stock of 100 light bulbs to be sure of having just the right one.

Not quite a joke, but it IS definitely adult:
quoting from Peter Gzowski's book about the original incarnation of his radio program:
quote:
A statement by the Honourable Paul Martin, Sr.,
Which won the “dumbest real political statement” award in 1973
In a contest sponsored by Peter Gzowski on his program
“This Country in the Morning” on CBC
Speaking when he was a candidate for the leadership of the Liberal Party in 1967:
“I wouldn’t be seeking the leadership of the Liberal Party if I didn’t feel strongly that I could not in all conscience not feel that I was taking objection to the meaning of my public life if I didn’t feel that in the view of the emphasis I place on what is the important question that I have the right, that I would have the right, not to meet it.”
I'm pretty sure you will laugh anyway!
Needless to say, he did not attain his goal. Unfortuinately, his son did reach that office, but apparently he also inherited the speaking style.

Tiger Woods was playing in a tournament in rural Ireland and drove his BMW into the local garage to fill up with fuel. The proprietor came up to man the pump and got chatting, as the Irish do. Tiger got out of the car to continue the conversation and couple of tees fell out of his pocket.
"Well now, what are those things?" asked the proprietor.
"Oh, they're called tees. They are to rest my balls on while I'm driving." replied Tiger.
"Bejasus, don't BMW think of everything!"

No, no, no, you need at least 6: one to change the bulb, and five others to tell you how much better they would have done it, and of course the would... if only it hadn't have been quite so high.

Variation on a theme, not "clean" but probably no worse than some of the others that have snuck in:
Q: Why do elephants paint their testicles red?
A: So they can hide in cherry trees.
Q: What's the loudest noise in the jungle?
A: A giraffe eating cherries.
Cherry trees in a jungle! That's hilarious!

After my "joke of the day" was posted, I went to early Mass - that was over three hours ago. I have been writing my novel and/or reading one about an Englishman in Italy (please see Ship's Book Club in this venue). Please, be honest. Is it rubbish or is it any good? Did you lot like either of the other two which were not based on ballooning? I am enjoying most of your submissions that were not like my late mother's favourite genre. She loved shaggy dog stories such as the ones our good friend Miss Amanda likes to tell..... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
I thank you, one and all, for making this thread a roaring success! I pledge to offer at least four unfamiliar adult clean jokes every week ad infinitum. Bloody hell! How did the joke about the brown stick sneak in? ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

A stranger ,( something of a rogue), walks into a rural golf clubhouse .
A man, who is clearly blind, is sat at the bar fumbling with some change to pay for a drink.
The stranger sits beside the blind man and engages him in conversation . "Play golf do you?" he says.
The blind man replies "Yes I do, when I get the chance . I can only play at certain times of the day if you get what I mean.
The stranger then thinks to himself - 'Oh yeah, mornings and evenings I expect , when no one else is around'.
The blind man continues, "I'll give you a round if you like , we could even put a few pounds on it,."
'Blimey, we can't go wrong here' thinks the stranger . So he say's "How about Ł25 per hole ?"
"Yes, no problem" came the reply "But as I said I do only play at certain times of the day"
"Absolutely fine by me" says the stranger. "Any time you like, just name it"
Smiling, the blind man replies -- "Tomorrow evening 11.45 pm"

C, E-flat, and G go into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished, and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes in and heads for the bathroom, saying, "Excuse me; I'll just be a second." Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, "Get out! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight." E-flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, "You're looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development." Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural. Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.

A blind man stumbles into a lesbian bar. "Who wants to hear a dumb blonde joke?" he announces. Immediately the place falls silent.
Finally the bartender says, "Listen, buddy. I'm a 300 pound Sumo wrestler, and I'm a blonde. The lady to your right is a long-distance truck driver, and she's a blonde. The lady to your left is a champion weight lifter, and she's a blonde. Now, do you really want to tell that dumb blonde joke?"
"Not if I have to repeat it three times," the blind man replies.

Two friends regularly walk their dogs - one has a Rottweiler, and one a chihuahua.
One says 'I could really do with a bite to eat. There's a good restaurant just here.'
'But they don't admit dogs.'
'No problem. Just do as I do.' With that, he puts on some sunglasses and goes into the restaurant.
'I'm sorry sir, but you can't bring your dog in.'
'He's my guide dog.'
'He's a Rottweiler!'
'It's a new thing they're trying out - combination guard dog and guide dog.'
'Oh. OK, in you go.'
So his friend tries the same thing. Puts on dark glasses, goes into the restaurant.
'I'm sorry sir, but you can't bring your dog in.'
'He's my guide dog.'
'But he's a chihuahua.'
'They gave me a chihuahua!'

A Blonde was down on her luck. In order to raise some money, she decided to kidnap a kid and hold him for ransom.
She went to the playground, grabbed a kid, took him behind a tree, and told him, "I`ve kidnapped you."
She then wrote a note saying, "I`ve kidnapped your kid. Tomorrow morning, put $10,000 in a paper bag and put it under the pecan tree next to the slide on the north side of the playground. Signed, A Blonde."
The Blonde then taped the note to the kid`s shirt and sent him home to show it to his parents.
The next morning the blonde checked, and sure enough, a paper bag was sitting beneath the pecan tree.
The blonde opened the bag and found the $10,000 with a note that said, "How could you do this to a fellow Blonde?"

Blind golfer(s), as I originally heard it:
A minister, a doctor, a lawyer and an engineer were out for a nice round of golf. But ahead of them were four of the worst golfers they'd ever seen. Seeing their erratic play and stumbling about, they complained to the greenskeeper. But he told them have pity. "These men are blind. They are fire fighters who were blinded while saving our clubhouse last year. In thanks, we let them play whenever they want to for free."
Humbled, the men demurred. "I'll be certain to pray for them specially," said the minister.
"Send them round to my office," said the doctor. "I'll do everything I can to see that their sight is restored!"
"And send them to me as well," said the lawyer. "I'll make sure they are receiving all the benefits to which they are entitled."
They all looked at the engineer, who shrugged and said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"

Hence: What's brown, steams and comes out of Cow[e]s? The Phillip Island ferry!

Having already made myself unpopular wth kilted Shipmates by referring to them on another thread as Scotch, may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.
First, there was the Scotsman who wrote a letter to the editor threatening that if didn't stop printing anti-Scots jokes he would stop borrowing his newspaper.
Then there was the old Scotsman who lay dying.
"Is all my family around me? Is my wife here?"
"Yes dear, I'm here".
"And my son?"
"Yes Father".
"And my daughter?"
"Yes Daddy, we're all here".
"Then if you're all here, why's the light on in the kitchen?"
Hoots, mon....

And remember to take wee Donal's glasses aff when he's no looking at anything.
Though the dying Scotsman joke is pretty much the same as the dying Jew. Same setup, same dialogue, but punch line 'If you're all here, who's minding the store?'

It does. The punch line is 'the Isle of Wight Ferry'.

A biker has a dreadful accident: bike's totalled, he's smashed up really badly, and taken to hospital where the medics do all they can.
Eventually he regains consciousness, and the doctor comes to see him straight away.
"What's going on? Where am I? How's my bike?" asks the biker.
"Well, you've been in a horrendous accident, and I'm afraid I've got some good news and some bad news" says the doctor.
"What's the bad news?"
"Your bike's written off, and your legs were so badly damaged we had to amputate them both at the knee"
At this the bloke bursts into tears. "How the hell can there be good news after that? That's a nightmare!"
"The bloke in the next bed wants to buy your boots"

Backstory to oral joke: There is a popular holiday spot near Melbourne called Phillip Island, the main town on which, Cowes, used to be served by a ferry.
Hence: What's brown, steams and comes out of Cow[e]s? The Phillip Island ferry!
I'm sorry but I don't understand your joke's relation to mine.
I thought it was a comment on the state of being a stick.

Surely the connection is the word 'brown'?

Apparently my son knows the funniest joke in the world but he refuses to tell me as I may die from laughing so hard I split my sides.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the island has many trees and is famous for its sticks.

Shakes head in confusion and clambers back onto the mainland...
There is Tim Vine's famous joke which I think won a prize at the Edinburgh Fringe a couple of years back:
"I've just come back from the holiday of a lifetime. Never again!"

I'm surprised he hasn't suggested that you make your will in his favour, so that he can tell it.
