New Scaratings

Guys and gals, don't blame me, this was ICEMAN's idea.

On the original "ScaRatings" we had a thread called "Jesse's Jokes". For those of you, who have never met Jesse, he loves to tell jokes and riddles that he makes up, and they are ALL TERRIBLE. Anyway, thanks to ICEMAN, I have been directed to recreate the thread. (Corny riddles with funny answers are okay too.)

The only rules are:

1- What you post MUST BE YOUR ORIGINAL CREATION. No passing on a funny joke you heard is permissible. (There is one exeption to this - see my p.p.s. below.)

2- They MUST BE IN GOOD TASTE. Nothing that DANTE would disapprove of will be allowed, and could get you banned from the "ScaRatings".

Okay, to get things started, I will go first.

This is a joke to use on 5 and 6-year-olds at Christmas time.

Your start: "Billy, I don't think Santa will be coming this year."

Billy's likely response: "Why?"

Your punch line: "Santa came down with the chimney flue."

p.s. Wasn't it kind of me to set the bar so low for starters...?

p.p.s. A joke you heard from a family member or friend is also permissible, as long as you think that they created it, and give them credit for creating it.

p.p.p.s. Even if you don't have an original joke to toss up here, feel free to post any comments that you might think appropriate.

"Pfft" scoffs the hipster. "I had one of those ages ago, back when it was the Samsung Quasar"


(If that joke doesn't mercy-kill this thread in a hurry, I don't know what will)

PENGWIN, flap your wings... You've got them rolling in the aisles. The cornier, the better.

p.s. Jesse would be proud of you. It's too late for me to call him tonight, but tomorrow, I will tell him the thread, that bears his name, is now once again alive and well on the "New ScaRatings".

Giving my grandfather preacher full credit for this joke, which I truly believe to be original, here comes:

(This will not be verbatim, because it was well over 50 years ago that I heard him tell it, but I will do my best.)

Rupert was the town drunk, but he always showed up for church on Sunday. However, Rupert would fall to sleep during the sermon every time. This annoyed the pastor, who decided to teach Rupert a lesson.

One Sunday, after the pastor saw Rupert dozing off, he decided that the time had come. The pastor changed the tone of his sermon to a very quiet and soft voice. Softly, he said, "All of you, who have lived a God fearing life of righteousness and goodness, please stand up quietly at this time. The entire congregation, with the exception of Rupert, silently stood up.

After everyone had sat back down, standing at the pulpit, the pastor boomed out in a loud voice, "All of you, who have lived a life of drunken sin, and plan to go to Hell, stand up NOW!"

Awakened, by the pastor's booming voice, Rupert jumped to his feet, and looked around. Seeing that only he and the pastor were standing up, Rupert said, "Preacher, I don't know what we are voting on, but it looks like only you and I are for it."

The Greyhound Bus depot in my home town had a restaurant in it called The Terminal Diner. I always wonder if they served a Last Supper.

Also...in the vein of found humor...as I was stumbling to the Microtel from the BWW last Friday night, I slipped on a manhole cover. As I looked down at it, I saw it had writing on it. It said:

SANITARY SEWER

From a Bdubs, I think not.

(I took a picture of it on my phone)

Not bad... Can you post that picture you took on your phone up here?

I think that ranks right up there with MILITARY INTELLIGENCE lol.

Here is my grandmother's riddle, which I believe she created.

There was a hungry man, without eyes, looking for apples. He saw a tree with apples upon it. He didn't take apples from the tree. When he left the tree, it did not have apples anymore. How could this be...?

(No, the apples did not fall to the ground, wither up, or anything like that, nor did the man use a saw on the tree. However, his apple hunger was satisfied.)

p.s. I might not have my grandmother's riddle word for word, exactly as she asked it, all those years ago, but it's pretty close. The comments in parenthesis are mine. Good luck, I will be looking for your answers.

Here goes:

What did one Polish sailor ask the other Polish sailor, while they were submerged in their two-man submarine?

Pretty funny answer, LilJol... I think it qualifies for an orginal joke on this thread. Welcome aboard, keep them coming.

p.s. For those of you, who might not have picked up on LilJol's "Hoof Hearted?" punny answer, the real answer is "Who farted?"

That's amazing! I heard that joke before I heard of you.

Either way, I liked it. But then again, I'm a debauchee.

I created this joke over 45 years ago...! I'm glad to hear that it has spread across the country. Perhaps I should have copyrighted it, but who does that with Jokes?



THIS JOKE IS ABSOLUTELY AN ORIGINAL CLOUDY CREATION...!!!

p.s. I know that I kid around a lot, but this time I am very serious.

Great! I though that maybe I was slipping as of late.

Why have you been holding back...? Keep this humor coming.

"Slipping as of late." took a long time for me to figure out. Dry humor has always been a problem for me.

Why did the elderly hockey player, wearing bedroom slippers in the snow, who showed up at 10:00 for a 9:00 o'clock face off, miss the first half of the championship game?

He was slipping as well as late.

Why not downgrade Plutonium to a dwarf element?

I don't think that anyone here has solved my grandmother's riddle, so I will tell you all the answer.

The answer has to do with singular and plural nouns.

The man without eyes only had one eye, so he was without eyes.

The tree with apples upon it only had two apples.

The man took but one apple from the tree, not apples.

There was just one apple left upon the tree. Therefore the tree no longer had apples.

(You can all thank Esther MacLeod for this. She was a fiesty lady in her time, and a college graduate back in the early 1920's, when very few women went to college. She married my grandfather, Roderick MacLeod, and they went off to Tibet together as Congregational missionaries, where my father was born.)

Because if they flew over the bay, they'd be bagels

Good one, PENGWN...! I think I just might give JESSE a call, and tell him your joke.

Here's a terrible follow-up to your joke:

Why did your bay gulls (bagles) move from the canals to the bay?

They didn't like all of the locks (lox) that they had to endure going through the canals.



..... This joke just came from me off of the top of my head.

That was a great joke in 1953.
