Did someone say cheese?

Here is a dutch joke:

Nadat de vrouw heeft plaatsgenomen op de divan, vraagt de psychiater wat er aan scheelt. De vrouw krijgt een kleur als vuur en stottert: ‘Uhh, tja, uhhmmm, hoe zal ik het zeggen? Ik ben natuurlijk geen expert... Maar, ik denk dat ik zo af en toe uhhmm-uhh een beetje nymphomanische trekjes vertoond. ‘Aha!’ Zegt de psychiater. ‘Ik denk dat ik u wel kan helpen. Maar ik moet u waarschuwen dat ik niet goedkoop ben. Ik reken honderdvijftig gulden per uur.’‘Dat valt mee,’ zegt de vrouw. ‘En hoeveel rekent u voor een hele nacht?’

Q: How do you tell, as you're driving towards Holland, that you've crossed the border?
A: You see the toilet paper hanging out to dry on the washing lines.

An old Marine Colonel got himself a new secretary. She was young, sweet, and very polite. One day while taking dictation, she noticed his fly was open. When leaving the room, she said, "Col. Smith, your barracks door is open." He did not understand her remark. Later on, he looked down and saw his zipper was open. He decided to have some fun with his secretary. He called her in and asked, "Miss Jones, when you saw my barracks door open this morning, did you also notice a Marine standing at attention?" The secretary, who also was quite witty, replied, "Why, no sir. All I saw was a little disabled veteran sitting on two duffel bags."

The fellow who originated the concept of managed health care died and arrived at the Pearly Gates. After giving his Social Security number and other identification, he was told to, "Wait over there in the Reception Area and an orientation tour bus will be by in about an hour."

The Reception Area was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. It had a full bar (non-alcoholic, but had all the tastes of various beers and other drinks) and every type of food ever thought of. The view was fabulous. Everyone was smiling and seemed so happy.

The fellow turned to one of the very beautiful receptionists and said, "This place is beyond all imagination! It is just so wonderful. I traveled all over the world and Texas setting up HMOs and other managed care systems, but I never saw anything this wonderful. There must be some kind of mistake," he laughed.

"Oh, no, sir. We never make mistakes up here. Never have. Never will. See right here on the computer screen. It says you are fully certified for three days, sir."

A man came in to the fruit and vegetable section of the market and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head, only a half head. The boy said he would go ask his manager about the matter.The boy walked into the back room and said, "there is some asshole out there who wants to buy only a half head of lettuce." As he was finishing saying this he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "and this gentleman wants to buy the other half".

The manager okayed the deal and the man went on his way. Later the manager called on the boy and said, "you almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from son?"

The boy replied, "Australia sir".

"You're joking ! Why did you leave Australia?" asked the manager.

The boy replied, "They're all just whores and rugby players down there."

"My wife is from Australia!!"

The boy replied, "Really! What team did she play for?

If a motorist cuts you off, just turn the other cheek. Nothing gets the message across like a good mooning.

Big Mike's all excited about his new rifle. So, he goes bear hunting in Alaska. The first bear he sees is a little brown bear. He kills it with his first shot.

There is a tap on his shoulder and he turns around to see a big black bear. The black bear says, "You've got two choices. One, I maul you to death or two, we have sex."

Big Mike bends over for the bear. He's sore for 2 days, but he recovers and vows revenge. Big Mike heads out on another trip to Alaska and he finds the black bear and kills him.

At that moment there is a tap on his shoulder. A huge grizzly is standing right behind him. The grizzly says, "That was a big mistake. You've got two choices. Either I maul you to death or we have sex." Big Mike bends over once again. He survives, but he's really hurting and takes quite a bit of time to recover and he's outraged.

He heads back to Alaska and finds the grizzly and shoots him at point blank range. Sure enough, there's a tap on his shoulder. He turns around to find an enormous polar bear. The polar bear looks at Big Mike with a puzzled look and says, "You don't really come here for the hunting, do you?"

I thought we were posting ethnic jokes!

 



A Scotsman and a Jewish man were having a magnificent meal at one of the finest restaurants in New York. At the end of the evening the waiter came over to present the check and a Scottish voice said " That's all right laddie just gae the check to me ". The headlines in the local newspaper next day proclaimed " Jewish ventriloquist found beaten to death ".

,,, in the interests of diversity and trying to create a perception of even handed mockery I'm dragging out all sorts of pearls.

Do you know, the best joke I've ever heard in my entire life remains...

"it's for the children."

LOL.....I'll have to sent that to a best friend. He's a typical NY Jew relocated to California. He sends me about 3-4 Jewish jokes a week. Latest one?

When does a Jewish mother consider a fetus viable?

The second he passes the bar or medical school.

Here is a dutch joke:

Um, my name may come from Holland, but the linguistic skills common to all Nederlanders didn't make it through the generations - at least I got a laugh out of seeing a joke (of course, it could be a recipe, for all I know - *GRIN*), in the Dutch language.....

Thanks for passing the "dutch / humor" site URLs - I suppose I asked for the type of humor you used for your example with the off-color example (only one I knew) of a Dutch joke that I posted - I really AM looking for something I can use in "mixed company" - *SMILE*!!

This thread has been great - the stupidity of people getting angry at "stereotype" jokes (and calling them "discriminitory") amazes me! I once had an Hispanic Lt Col, active duty, USAF, tell me that the reason blacks and mexicans were not allowed to marry was because "they" were afraid the offspring would be too lazy to steal. He was laughing at stereotypes about both his heritage and that of blacks. I'm "white", but the two guys with me were (1) hispanic and (2) black. We all laughed, and it didn't hurt that this Lt Col could at times make Robin Williams and Jay Leno combined look inept as comedians - what a delivery!!

The really important word here is "laughing"! I get a laugh every so often when I pass on a "stereotype" joke and someone tries to call me prejudiced; I whip out a family picture, showing my Romanian wife, my four daughters and one son, my hispanic son-in-law, my Samoan son-in-law, my black son-in-law, and my five grandkids!

BTW, NONE of these are hyphenated ANYTHING - they are all, simply, Americans! You ought to hear the family reunions!! Literally, ROTFLOL 'til the tears run down your face!

All right... I give up. I gotta post some of my own...

If you think that a "cell phone" is where the sheriff lets you make one free call... you might be a redneck.

If you've ever handled a live rattlesnake in church... you might be a redneck.

And, for that matter, if you've ever handled a live rattlesnake OUTSIDE of church... you might be a redneck.

In fact, if you've ever handled a live rattlesnake, anywhere at all....

If you've ever kept a chicken in your cubicle...you might be a displaced redneck.

If your pickup truck is way too big for your corporate parking space...you might be a displaced redneck.

If you've ever said "shoot", "dang", "ain't", or "buddy", in a management meeting...you might be a displaced redneck.

Where does an Irish family go on vacation? A different bar.

O'Connell was walking down the street with a pint of Jameson in his back pocket. He slipped and fell and felt something wet run down his leg.

"Please God, let it be blood!"
