I have a dark sense of humor.
A lot of millennials and zoomers are appalled by that.
Not that I care. 😏
What is the difference between a dead baby and a truck tire?
For a while, we thought those were the funniest jokes.
Over the past year I’ve come to like Soviet humor...the humor of the Russian people under the USSR.
All of it is dark but it’s also funny!
While their humor expresses fatalism and sometimes even apathy the mere fact that such humor would persist despite government oppression speaks to their spirit as desiring freedom.
I think they were all funny. Guess I should get my IQ tested.
Back in the 60’s had a paperback “Best of Sick Jokes”. Helen Keller jokes, dirty limericks, comics etc. My mom found it and threw it out.
Then there’s Rabelais’ “Gargantua and Pantagruel” with a three-page discussion of the best material to wipe your bum with.
The Satyricon of Petronius, Boccaccio’s Decameron, etc.
They found rude frescoes in the ruins of Pompei
.
Dark humor was all we had growing up. My dad was a doc brought home the OR jokes
Hilarious.
One can run flat, the other flat lines?
President Biden, a Boy Scout, and a pastor were on a flight in a small plane. Suddenly the plane developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane started to go down.
The pilot grabbed a parachute. He yelled to the three passengers that they should jump. Then the pilot bailed out. Unfortunately there were only two parachutes left in the plane.
President Biden grabbed one. He said, “I am the leader of the free world. I must live!” President Biden then jumped out.
The pastor looked at the Boy Scout and said, “My son, I’ve lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Please take the last parachute.”
The Boy Scout handed the parachute back to the pastor and said, “It’s okay, pastor. President Biden just jumped out with my back pack.”
(This is a true story. You can look it up.)
“What is the difference between a dead baby and a truck tire?”
Nothing. They both explode when overinflated.
(I’m logging out now...)
A truck tire can take 60 pounds of air pressure before it bursts.
My favorite punch line:
“With gums like that, who would.”
I must be a genius! My kids lived in fear about my dark sense of humor.
So the Black guys scratches his head and says, “Man I gotsta try dis!!” so he walks around and bums a quarter of someone and walks up to the wishing well and thinks for a minute and throws it in and says... “I wanna be White, Uptight, and outta sight!”... Poof!! turns into a Tampon...
I have that tshirt. I wear it when teaching Russuan history.
About 90 years ago it used to be Henry Kissinger (the smartest man on earth just jumped out with my backpack)
LOL!
