That's Jokes
-
A guy gets sent to prison for a long stretch. On his first night in the clink, after lights out, his cell mate goes up to the bars and shouts out “Number 13”.
The whole place starts chuckling, with guys in every cell laughing. After the laugher subsides, someone from another cell shouts out “Number 47”. Everyone in the block chuckles again. Soon, someone yells “Number 26” and there’s a few muted guffaws from the block.
“What’s going on?” The new fish asks. “Why is everyone laughing at numbers?”
The cell mate explains “oh, we have been in here so long that we have learned all of one another’s jokes. So someone came up with the idea of assigning each of them a number so we can get through them quicker each evening. Someone yells a number, we all know which one it is, and we laugh at the memory.”
“Oh, I get it” says the new fish. “Let me have a go.” He moves to the bars and shouts out “Number 67”.
The whole block erupts into deep, uncontrollable belly laughter. The cell mate is doubled over gasping for breath he is laughing so hard.
“That’s a good one” he says, once he has regained his composure. “None of us have heard that one before!”

I'm going to try and do this one justice. It may well be a "you had to be there", so may fall flat...
Last night we were out to dinner with one of our favourite couples. Mark the husband is one of the world's funniest and most eccentric people I know. He's also been married a few times....The first time, about 50 years ago to a lady a lot older than him...
Mark - Funny thing happened last week.
G - Yes?
Mark - We were sitting at the kitchen table and this strange bloke turns up at the window. He announces that he is my long lost step-son, from my first marriage
Giles - How did you know it was not one of yours?
@Madame-Buttonfly (quick as a flash) - Because he was older than MarkBrilliant

@Giles Thats pretty funny. Is this the Mark I know?

@Jett129 I hate myself for laughing, but his Prison performance story is one of the best joke/anecdotes I’ve ever heard.

Yeah my first time seeing him was on Bobby Lee’s podcast Tigerbelly, and I found him surly and unsympathetic. Luckily algorithms caused him to keep popping up and later I started to get him. He’s really good. I felt the same way about Stuart Lee. Someone persuaded me to watch him after I’d made my mind up I didn’t like him. I watched and after a time realised how good he was. Neither pander to the audience thought Stuart Lee can take way longer. They’re very different, but similar in that respect. Apologies if you already know Stuart Lee.

I’ve never come across Stuart Lee,but will definitely be on the lookout for him. I once saw Bobby Lee on a Podcast and the host asks him is there any one comedian you have to see any time he gets up? And without hesitation he says Jeselnick. Not sure if you ever heard the story of him being hired to do a Rabbi’s lunch kind of event,and he does the joke about his mother being a holocaust denier. I can’t imagine that the thought of being canceled ever crosses his mind,and I,for one,hope it never does!

A woman goes to the doctor, concerned about her husband's wild temper. She explains that he flies into mad rages every day, and she is becoming scared.
The doctor says "the cure is simple - whenever your husband becomes angry, take a glass of water, fill your mouth with a large sip, and swill the water around your teeth until your husband either calms down or leaves the room. Only then can you swallow the water." The woman leaves with this advice, and a follow up appointment to see the doctor again a week later to see how things are going.
A week later the woman comes back. "It's amazing doctor" she says. "I did what you suggested and every time my husband became angry, I would take a large swig of water and swish it around my teeth. It works every time, and my husband calms down very quickly now. But how on earth does this cure work?"
"As I suspected" said the doctor "the trick was finding something to keep your mouth shut."
