  1. That was a good one Tracey!

    Let me share a few I heard from my kids recently:

    1.If lions, tigers and cheetah are in a race what happens?
    Lions lie, tigers tie and cheetahs cheat!

    2. What is black and white and red all over?
    It has two possible answers:
    A. A zebra road kill
    B. A newspaper

    Have a great weekend Tracey. Tell us what you did this weekend.

  2. Lol. I don't have any, but I agree with the first one. They do give awful names to their children. :)

  3. The first few were pretty funny. I don't understand #9 at all, but I could just be slow.

  4. My favorite from this list was #3!

    Back when we did the "favorite jokes" posts I didn't think about my favorite limmerick:

    There once was a fellow from Yuma
    Who told an elephant joke to a puma
    Now under hot western skies
    His skeleton lies
    For the puma had no sense of huma

  5. Lol Tracy, thanks for sharing these.
    I can't think of any offhand but we recently listened to a comedy show by Dane Cook and it was hysterical.

  6. Hi Tracy,

    What a fun post, I loved all the top ten and I'm sorry, but I 'got' them all, I must have a disgusting sense of humour!

    My least favourite was the top joke about Posh and Becks!

    Being a bookaholic, my favourite has to be #4.

    I am useless at remembering jokes, but there are some great comedians about these days. One of my all time favourites is Michael McIntyre, I have seen him live a few times (and been picked on for sitting in the front row!).

  7. #9 is a play on the phrase "it's not rocket science", but the key to understanding it is that "rocket" is what Aussies call arugula. Hopefully it makes more sense now?

  8. Hahahaha! I love Tim Vine's jokes and I have to say, I did like the rocket salad one but my favourite is the Stewart Francis one about the documentary on shipbuilding. This is a great post, and perfect for the day I've had! xxx

  10. Enjoyed your "humerus" post! These jokes are great--I don't think I can match them (I am not good at collecting jokes).

  14. I can't think of a favorite right now- if one hits me I will come back and share it. My favorites from this list were #2 and 3 and I didn't understand #7 or 9. Thanks for sharing!
