Amusing Jokes and Quotations

I can never remember good jokes when I need them so I thought it was time to write a few of my favourites down. Here are some of the best ones. Mostly British humour, some international.

I do apologize if any are offensive or a little rude. At least there not much chance of them being funny.

Some British Humour

A Man Walks Into A Bar...

Well that's how they usually start anyway

A Panda walked into a bar and said: "A pint of ............. beer please"
The barman said: "Why the big paws?"

A Horse walked into a bar and said: "A pint of beer please"
The barman said: "Why the long face?"

A woman walks into a bar and says: "Can I have an inuendo?"
The barman said: "I'll give you one"

An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman walk into a bar.
The barman said: "Is this some kind of joke?"

Library Humour

A Man Walked into a Library...

Library Humour

I walked into a library and said "MAY I HAVE SOME FISH AND CHIPS PLEASE?"
The librarian said: "I'm sorry this is a library"
I said: "Ooops. Sorry. may I have some fish and chips please?"

A chicken walked into a library and said: "Buk"
The librarian gave her a book and she left.
The next day the chicken walked into a library again and said: "Buk, buk, buk"
The librarian gave her three books and she left.
The next day the chicken walked into a library again and said: "Buk, buk, buk, buk, buk"
The librarian gave her five books and she left, but the librarian decided to follow her because she had never know of a chicken who was such an avid reader.
She followed the chicken to her home and watched her give the books to a frog who was ill in bed.
The frog said: " Redit, redit, redit, redit..."

Silicon Valley Humour

Geeky Jokes

Engineer Jokes

A man walked into a pet shop in Silicon Valley and said: "I'd like to buy a monkey"
The salesman showed him three identical looking monkeys priced: $1,000; $2,000 and $5,000
The customer asked what the difference was.
The salesman said:
"The $1,000 monkey can touch-type, has basic computer skills including detailed knowledge of Microsoft Office and makes a lovely cup of tea"
"The $2,000 monkey has advanced IT skills and can program in C++, HTML, Java etc."
"The $5,000 monkey doesn't seem to do anything, but he calls himself a consultant"




Three engineers discussing religion.

One says: "God was definitely an electronic engineer, because the brain is a computer and the whole body is controlled by nerves which are like wires carrying electrical impulses"

The second said: "No. God was a mechanical engineer, because the body is a complex machine consisting of many levers being acted on by muscles which are like hydraulic pistons"

The third said: "No. God must have been a civil engineer, because who else would have put a waste pipe right next to a recreational area?"

    Computer Science student is walking along when a frog calls out to him. Astounded, he picks the frog up and it tells him that she's a beautiful princess and that she'll return to human form if he kisses her, then she'll fulfil his wildest fantasies.

    Comp Sci boy puts the frog in his pocket and walks on. Muffled voice "aren't you going to kiss me?"

    "No way, a girl's a girl but a talking frog is really kewl"
