Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.
 
Sometimes you need to double post if the thread has moved down far in the list, and you have a new thought that you want to mention. If you just edit your previous post, it will not bump the thread up to the top, so people may not know that you added something. Of course, this is only necessary if there's a long time gap between the first post and the second post.

At least this one is cool in a surreal way:

An Alsatian went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote:
“Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”
The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”
“But,” the dog replied, “that would make no sense at all.”

A Man goes into a pub. Under his arm is a large box, which he places on the bar and opens. Inside is a tiny little man playing a piano. He plays beautifully, pop music, classics and jazz. Everyone in the pub falls silent and gathers round to watch this astonishing phenomenon. - “Where did you find him?” asks the publican. - “Well, I was beachcombing the other day when I came upon a rusty old fashioned lamp. I rubbed at it to try to clear off some of the barnacles and weed, and a genie leapt out and offered me any wish I cared to name” . - “I’d love to have a go at that” says the publican, “can you give me directions so that I can find the rusty lamp?” - ”Sure" . A week later, the man with the box under his arm returns to the pub, pushes open the door and is astonished when he sees the change the pub has undergone in the space of one short week. Everywhere he looks; there are thousands of ducks - some in china, some papier mache, some wood some metal, in all kinds of colors, shapes and designs. - “Well, the pub looks fantastic” he says to the publican, “but tell me, did you go down to the beach and find that rusty lamp.” - “I certainly did” replies the publican, “Your directions were very clear. I found the lamp, rubbed it, and - just as you described, out leapt the genie. One thing, though - I think he’s a little hard of hearing, because I didn’t ask him for masses of fantastic ducks” - “I know what you mean. I didn’t ask him for a 12-inch pianist either”.

Imagine the scene, it HM the Queen's Birthday and the Coldstream Guards are marshalled in serried ranks in full dress uniform before the gates of Buckingham Palace.

The Regimental Sergeant Major is marching down the ranks, inspecting the troops and making sure that their full dress uniform is absolutely tip top.

The Queen's cavalcade is rapidly approaching as the RSM gets to the third rank. He is amazed to see a 7 foot tall Zulu warrior standing proudly in the ranks, resplendant with assegai, rhinoceros hide shield, leopard skin thong and armbands, ostrich plumes in his hair and lion-tooth necklace.

The RSM is flabberghasted and says, "How the hell did you get into the Coldstream Guards?" and the Zulu says "I lied about my age".

This thread is headed "The Funniest Canadian Joke" so logically, isn't it meant to be relative to what our Canadian posters find amusing, and that any judgment as to the humour content of any alledged comical story posted on this thread has to be subjectively assessed by those forum posters who lurk north of the border?

Which, in turn, means that neither I (posting from God's own earth, land of the free etc England) or Imperator Fyron (being a Californian and therefore not qualified to opine on humour at all) nor any other non-moose-kissing poster is entitled to comment on the laugh quotient of any post in this thread.

A Canadian lad from Manitoba marries a young girl from a neighbouring town. On his wedding night, he is appalled to find out that she is a virgin.

He immediately packs his bags and jumps in his pick-up and drives back to his parents.

His father and mother ask him why he has come home on his wedding night, rather than whooping it up with his new bride. Our erstwhile hero announces that he is traumatised because his new bride is a virgin.

"Damn" says his dad, "you did the right thing son, if she isn't good enough for her own family, she certainly ain't good enough for ours"

They couldn't find 3 wise men and a virgin.


I told this to my father and sister, and they both said, "Nothing in that joke is specific to Italians, you could have put any nationality there, why are you dumping on ours?"

I told my mother, and she looked at me puzzled for 3 seconds, then put down the iron, put her head on the ironing board, and laughed hilariously for a solid minute.

Getting back to the reason for this thread:

A woman takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work. Unbeknownst to her, her 9 year old son was hiding in the closet. Her husband comes home unexpectedly, so she puts the lover in the closet with the little boy. The little boy says, "Dark in here." The man says, "Yes it is." Boy - "I have a baseball." Man - "That's nice." Boy - "Want to buy it?" Man - "No, thanks." Boy - "My dad's outside." Man - "OK, how much?" Boy - "$250."

In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom's lover are in the closet together. Boy - "Dark in here." Man - "Yes, it is." Boy - "I have a baseball glove." The lover, remembering the Last time, asks the boy, "How much?" Boy - "$750." Man - "Fine."

A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove. Let's go outside and toss the baseball back and forth." The boy says, "I can't. I sold them." The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?" The son says "$1,000." The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess." They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth and he closes the door. The boy says, "Dark in here." The minister says, "Don't start that with me again."

I agree with you that it is unfortunate that language should be a divisive force among people. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

IMHO, religion is a close second. Most Christian sects are in agreement on most of the fundamental tenants of Christianity. Until 9/11, it could be asserted that Christians disliked each other more for their differences (if the 'other' belonged to a diffent sect) than Muslims.

The 9/11 event seems to have escalated the dislike some people have against Muslims. I do wonder if the increased hatred expressed by some 'Christians' is really a shift in their focus from 'other Christians' to Muslims.

But enough of speculation and back to the topic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

It would seem that this would be an opportunity for a third political party to represent the 'bilingual' people of Quebec.

The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?" The son says "$1,000." The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess." They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth and he closes the door. The boy says, "Dark in here." The minister says, "Don't start that with me again."

Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.
 
Welp, I got a couple jokes for everyone today. Tell me what you think. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Only thing is they arn't canadian jokes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

For a computer programming class, I sat directly across from someone, and our computers were facing away from each other.
A few minutes into the class, she got up to leave the room. I reached between our computers and switched the inputs for the keyBoards. She came back and started typing and immediately got a distressed look on her face.
She called the teacher over and explained that no matter what she typed, nothing would happen. The teacher tried everything. By this time I was hiding behind my monitor and quaking red-faced.
I started to type, "Leave me alone!"
They both jumped back, silenced. "What the . . . " the teacher said. I typed, "I said leave me alone!"
The kid got real upset. "I didn't do anything to it, I swear!"
It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud. The conversation between them and HAL 2000 went on for an amazing five minutes.
Me: "Don't touch me!"
Her: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit your keys that hard."
Me: "Who do you think you are anyway?!" Etc. Finally, I couldn't contain myself any longer and fell out of my chair laughing.
After they had realized what I had done, they both turned beet red. Funny, I never got more than a C- in that class.

And...

There's nothing worse than a snotty doctor's receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong in a room full of other patients. I know you all have experienced this, and here's the way one old guy handled it.
An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded doctor's office. As he approached the desk, the receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing the doctor for today?"
"There's something wrong with my dick," he replied.
The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded office and say things like that."
"Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said.
The receptionist replied, "You've obviously caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and then discussed the problem further with, the doctor in private."
The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.
The receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes?"
There's something wrong with my ear," he stated.
The receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?"
"I can't piss out of it," the man replied.
The doctor's office erupted in laughter.

Enjoy... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

3 SIMPLE STEPS TO MAKE A GREAT CANADIAN JOKE.

Doing extensive research in this thread (thanks to tbontob for step 2 and Growltigga for step 3), I have compiled 3 simple steps to make a great Canadian joke.
1: Take any great joke.
2: Exhange all geographic references with Canada (or the Canadian ).
3: If sheep is involved, exhange with moose.

So lets run a little test:
Original joke:
What do you call a Scotsman with a sheep under each arm ?
- A pimp.

Canadian joke:
What do you call a Canadian with a moose under each arm ?
- A pimp.

Hmmm, must be one more step.

This joke was only used for testing purposes. I would never tell such a lame joke. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

BTW, I think I got it..

4: Compensate for size difference.

Original joke:
What do you call a Scotsman with a sheep under each arm ?
- A pimp.

Refined Canadian joke:
What do you call a Canadian with a moose under each arm ?
- A very, very tall pimp.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Primitive, let me tell you what I found was so funny about your joke.

The moose is the largest land animal in North America and if I am not mistaken in South America too.

Yep, it apparently beats the grizzly pound for pound.

What is not so well known is that it beats the bear or any other animal in Canada as being the most dangerous land animal in Canada.

And the moose is tall!!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

And it is not domesticated like the sheep.

So even if the pimp could somehow get two moose under his arms (very, very unlikely even for a very, very tall pimp), the human is likely to be on the receiving end of any amorous adventure. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

And after being pronged and repeatedly gorged, the moose is likely to stomp him into the ground for good measure.

Your formula was a good one. Putting it into practice made your joke even funnier. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Tbontob.
We have plenty of moose in Norway also. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

And the moose is in many ways just like humans.

Every autumn ( mating season) some sexually frustrated young males come into peoples gardens and eat fermented apples left on the trees.
Getting really drunk, they run around the suburbs, acting just like English soccerfans. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

tbontob February 2nd, 2003 04:41 AM

Re: The Funniest Canadian Joke.
 
Primitive, that is amusing. LOL

Our moose do not act like that...at least I haven't heard they are. Maybe it is because of our greater land area, so moose and people tend to not come into intimate contact.

Drunk moose! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I have heard of drunken birds and drunken small animals, but a drunken moose is a new one on me! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

My impression is that the moose is a shy, retiring creatures who would rather run away than fight...unless the bull moose is in heat at which time he can be unpredictable. But fight they will if cornered by wolves, etc.

So, I thought someone out there would have contested this statement I made earlier:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Is it true? Yes, but not in what people normally perceive it to be.

But how? Road accidents. Hitting a moose is like hitting a brick wall. Anywhere from a half ton to almost a ton of it.

They are just doing what moose do, going from one place to another. And, of course crossing the road. In Norway it would be to eat apples and have a good time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

There is a place in Africa where a lot of fruit ripens all at once, and ferments. A lot of different types of animals, ranging from monkeys to elephants, eat it (as there isn't too much to eat) and get drunk. It happens every year. My biology teacher in high school showed us a video of it. It was quite hilarious. Defintitely gets an f on the meter.

Ok, I'll try to 'Canadianize' the "****-List"..

1) The Lincoln Log Eh! (It's big and it floats!)
2) The Phantom **** Eh! (You felt it come out, you heard it splash, but when you look, it's nowhere to be seen!)
3) The Peek-a-boo **** Eh! (Every time you strain, it peeks out, but when you stop straining to breath it hides back in!)
4) The Brain-hemorage through your nose **** Eh!(..and it's not called blushing!)
5) The Super snake Eh! (also known as the spiral ****!)
6) The Memorable **** Eh! (So strange, big or unique that you need a witness!)
7) The Popcorn **** Eh! (you know plop, plop no fizz oh what a relief it is!)
8) The Niagra **** Eh! (aka the liquid ****!)
9) The Kodak **** Eh! (similar to the Memorable **** but you grab a camera because no-one is around!)
10) The Air **** Eh! (It's when you spend a half hour on the bowl farting!)
11) The Oxigen Deprivation **** Eh! (It stinks so much you have trouble breathing!)
12) The TNT **** Eh! (The one that litterly blows out of you in a matter of seconds, often associated with the 'liquid ****'!)
13) The Alien **** Eh! (Often recognized by it's strange yellow/green color! Are babies aliens?)
14) The Drain Blocker Eh! (The one you have to chop up in order to get it to flush!)
15) The Sanctuary **** Eh! (It's when you don't actually **** but use the privacy of the bathroom to get away from it all!)
16) The 'Executive' **** Eh! (reserved for the 'person' in the office that always has a **** at the same time every day!)
17) The literary **** Eh! (Where you bring a book or newspaper and fill your brain while emptying your bowels!)

Another way to make a joke Canadian is to insert random polite words like 'please', 'sorry', 'thank you', etc! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif We Canadians are known to be extremely polite!

Cheers!
