I went to the Bank today to try and convert some currency. I asked then to change Canadian to the American dollar but since I didn't have an account there they said they wouldn't. Sorry BIG


( true story) ( actually it was American to Canadian. I needed some to put in a Birthday card for a friend but for the sake of your post I changed it to fit your local)

The world's worst orchestra director was preparing his new group for their first concert. Halfway through the first movement, as he conducted with wild abandon, his baton flew out of his hand and impaled itself in the eye of a flute player, killing her instantly.
The police investigated, but ruled her death an accident.

At the next rehearsal, he got caught up in the music again, lost his baton again, and this time struck the bassoon player in the eye, killing him instantly.
The police investigated, but again ruled the death an accident.

At the third rehearsal, the same thing happened, this time to a violinist.
The police could not believe that such an odd thing could happen three times in a row accidentally, so they arrested the conductor.
He was tried for triple homicide and sentenced to death.

After all his appeals proved fruitless, the warden strapped him in the electric chair and the officer in charge threw the giant electrical switch.
But nothing happened.

He turned it off and then back on again,
but still nothing.

The exasperated warden yelled at the officer, "What are you doing wrong?"
The officer retorted, "Hey, don't blame me.





Everyone knows he's a poor conductor!"

This is my favorite joke, but it's kinda local. I'm sure you'll get the gist...you can probably substitute in places from all over the world, with minimal work. I think I heard one once with Russians and vodka, but I can't remember it all.

A Coloradoan, a Californian, and a Texan are camping together. They're sitting at the campfire, drinking, when the Texan gets up and pulls out a bottle of whiskey. He takes one swig, then throws it up and shoots it out of the air.
"What did you do that for?! That bottle was mostly full!" The other two exclaim.
"Well, we've got plenty of whiskey where I come from." The Texan replied.
The Californian thought on this for a while, and then pulled out a bottle of wine. He took one swig, and then tossed it up and shot it out of the air.
"What'd you do that for!? That was a good bottle of wine!" The other two exclaim.
"Well, we've got plenty of that where I come from." The Californian said.
The Coloradoan thought for a while, and then he pulled out a can of beer. He drank the whole thing, threw it up in the air, and shot the Californian.
"Oh my god! What did you do that for?!" The Texan exclaimed.
The Coloradoan went over and picked up the can, and said, "Well, we've got plenty of Californians where I come from, but this can is worth 5 cents."

A teacher is talking about religion one day, and asks the kids to raise their hands if they're Christian. All the kids except for Tommy raise their hands. She's a little surprised.
"You're not Christian, Tommy?"
"No, I'm pagan." He replies.
Again, she's very surprised. "Why are you pagan!?"
"Well, my mom's a pagan, and my dad's a pagan, so I'm a pagan."
Miffed, the teacher asks, "Well, if your mom was an idiot, and your dad was an idiot, what would you be?"
Tommy calmly replies, "Then I'd be a christian."

Also works really well with sports teams.



I didn't get through the whole thread, so hopefully they weren't a repeat.

Oh, I just thought of my favorite LOTR jokes. (What can I say...I like bad jokes.)

~

What does Pippin do when he gets drunk?
He starts feeling Merry.

What do you call an Ent that spills his drink?
Teabeard.

What did the man say when he bumped into the wizard?
"Sorry man, I didn't see you there."
(Saruman)

Merry and Pippin are walking home one night, drunk. Suddenly, Merry falls down a hill and breaks a leg. He lies on the ground in pain, and says, "I broke my leg! Quick, Pippin, call me a doctor!"
So Pippin says, "Alright, if you say so. Merry's a doctor! Merry's a doctor!"

President Bush was out jogging one morning along the parkway when he tripped, fell over the bridge railing and landed in the creek below.

Before the Secret Service guys could get to him, three kids, who were fishing, pulled him out of the water.

He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they wanted.

The first kid said, "I sure would like to go to Disneyland." George said, "No problem. I'll take you there on Air Force One."

The second kid said, "I really need a new pair of Nike Air Jordan's." Bush said, "I'll get them for you and even have Michael sign them!"

The third kid said, "I want a motorized wheelchair with a built-inTV and stereo headset!!" Bush is a little perplexed by this and said, "But you don't look like you are handicapped."

The kid says, "I will be after my dad finds out I saved your ass from drowning!"

(Yup... my son would be sharing my chair...)

Can I at least salvage some national pride by suggesting that those jokes are so cutting they were written by someone English?

Australian.

A Scotsman ties on one too many and starts a merry stumbling walk home. He
doesn't get too far before the collection of wee drams takes the better of
him, and he stops for a rest in a ditch by the side of the road, and quickly
falls into a dreamless slumber under the overhanging tree.

Two English ladies on the way home from a visit to drafty castles
(landmarks, they call 'em) spy the man on the side of the road and pull the
car over. One turns to the other and announces, "This is the perfect
opportunity. I've always wondered what a Scotsman wears under his kilt."

After a brief inspection, she announces to her companion, "Nothing, just as
I suspected. I'll need to leave him something for the invasion of his
privacy." With that, she pulls a ribbon from her hair, and ties it around
his favored member. Off they go.

A few hours later, the gent wakes up, groggy and with a bit of an ache in
the empty space between the eyes. First things first, he seeks to empty his
bladder agin' the the very tree he found himself sleeping under. Up comes
the kilt, and wide goes his eyes at the sight of the blue ribbon adorning
the member in his hand. "Well, I don' know wha' you been up to, lad, but at
least ya' got firrst place!"

Stole this one from "The Dukes of Hazzard" movie. Yes, I watched it. I *do* feel dirty, but it was mindless fun, and Jessica Simpson hardly sang at all.
