As this was the last day of school, for the last fifteen minutes of class, I let my class be themselves. So we had a joke telling-fest. Most of the jokes that they told were funny, even though some were a bit meanspirited, and this has put me in the mood to look for other jokes.

So what are some jokes that you like (bridge-related or otherwise)?

I'd especially be interested in jokes that I could place at the end of the finals. So I'd like ones that aren't putdowns of anyone, don't have/imply "bad words" and are age-appropriate for 15-18year old girls who attend a very religious school.

Of course, feel free to share any joke you like. The goal is to make other people laugh.

The village blacksmith finally found an apprentice willing to work hard for long hours. The blacksmith immediately began his instructions to the lad, "When I take the shoe out of the fire, I'll lay it on the anvil; and when I nod my head, you hit it with this hammer."

The apprentice did just as he told. Now he's the village blacksmith.

(You can probably edit this to place it in a classroom setting, but don't give your kids any ideas )

Someone kills someone else with a hammer to the head and this is a clean joke?
This must surely (dont call me surely!) offend someone.

A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that, if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were probably involved.

They boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?".

They boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God!!?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE IS GOD!?"


The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time, dude. God is missing - and they think WE did it!"

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shone his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you".

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light back on and began searching for more valuables.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is watching you". Totally rattled, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.

Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?", he hissed at the parrot.

"Yes," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who do you think you are any way?"

"Moses," replied the bird.

"Moses" the burglar laughed. "What kind of stupid people would name a parrot 'Moses'?"

The bird promptly answered: "The same kind of people that would name a Rottweiler 'Jesus'!"

My students told this joke! Except it was changed to a rabbi instead of a clergyman. (I teach at an Orthodox Jewish school)

(I've googled this one up since my English wouldn't have been good enough to recite it properly ;-)

The farmer was out in his field trying to get another season of plowing from his old horse when all of a sudden this enterprising city slicker came by in his Lincoln. Slamming on his brakes, rammed it into reverse and came back to the farmer.

He said, "Nice looking horse you got there, want to sell him?"

The farmer couldn't hold back his joy, the words just leaped out of his mouth, "Ya, fifty bucks."

The suited-dude pealed off a fifty and yelled he would be back the next day with a trailer. The farmer couldn't contain his excitement all through the night. The old horse had been around for years and he only paid ten bucks for him. A dream come true.

Would you believe it...the next day at dawn the farmer and horse were at the same spot near the road, when to his amazement the old horse coughed once and keels over dead as a door nail. Just about that time here comes the Lincoln, the city guy was right there with the trailer. What a let down. Talk about a busted bubble, the pits, a bad hair day all rolled into one. The city guy come on around and after seeing what happened, didn't hesitate. Asked the farmer to help load the dead horse on the trailer. Puzzled the farmer obliged and soon the city slicker, Lincoln, trailer and dead horse were all gone.

Just so happened the next month while in town the farmer spotted the same guy. The man came over, shook his hand, patted him on the back and gave him another fifty dollar bill. The puzzled farmer asked what happened, the man said he made $645.00 on the deal.

The farmer asked him how he did that.

The city guy said he sold the horse in a raffle.

The farmer said, "Didn't they get mad?"

The city slicker said, "Heck no, just the one, and I gave him back his dollar."
