    Talking Joke thread

    Post your best jokes in this thread!

    I've got 3:

    1. There was a german coastguard who got a call from a british ship. From the call it said ''Mayday, mayday, we are sinking! We are sinking!'', to which the coastguard replied: ''Yes, yes, wh-... what are you sinking about?''.

    2. There was a pirate who went into a bar with a steering wheel stuck down his fly. The bartender asked him why it was there, and the pirate replied: ''Yarr, I don't know meself, but it's been drivin' me nuts!''.

    And at last, a self-made, personal favourite:
    3. What do you call a cow on Greenland? An Eskimoo!

    ACTUAL transcript* of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. This radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10-10-95.

    Americans: "Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision."

    Canadians: "Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision."

    Americans: "This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course."

    Canadians: "No, I say again, you divert YOUR course."

    Americans: "THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT'S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP."

    Canadians: "This is a lighthouse. Your call."

    *actually, not an actual transcript, according to snopes. Still a funny joke.

    A Blood Elf, Human and Dwarf walk into a bar. The Blood Elf orders a wine and both the Human and Dwarf order beer.
    It takes a little while before they get their drinks, but when they get it they see to their surprise that there is a fly in every glass.
    The Blood Elf, disgusted by the fly in his wine, stands up and walks out of the bar without saying a word. The Human shrugs and picks the fly out of his beer before drinking it in one go. The Dwarf looks at the fly for a few seconds before picking the fly out of his beer furiously shouting "Spit it out! Spit it out!".

    That is awesome, LOL. I totally pictured a Dwarf doing this.

    What did the Resto Druid say when he started to get aggro? Leaf me alone.

    A man walks in to a bar with a monkey on a leash. The bartender stops him before he gets to a stool. "You can't bring a wild animal in my bar! Get that thing out of here!"
    "But he's trained! He won't cause any harm, I promise, and he's on a leash!"
    "Well...OK, but if he starts causing trouble, you're out of here."
    The man takes a seat at the bar and orders a drink for himself and his monkey. After three drinks in half an hour and no trouble, the bartender has become comfortable with the monkey. The monkey starts being social, wandering around waving and smiling at people. A couple drinks later, the monkey is starting to get unruly. He hops up on the pool table, grabs a cue ball and swallows it whole.
    "Damn it, get that thing out of my bar! He just ate a cue ball!"
    The man grabs the leash and exits without argument.

    A month later, the man returns to the bar with his monkey.
    "Oh no you don't," the bartender shouts as the man walked in the door. "That monkey is trouble, he's not allowed in here."
    "I'm so sorry about your cue ball, the monkey can't hold his liquor. I won't let him drink this time, and I'll make him stay on his bar stool, no trouble at all. OK?"
    "Well...alright, but if he starts acting weird again, I'm banning you both."
    The man sits down and orders a drink and the monkey sits at a stool next to him.
    The monkey spots a bowl of grapes on the bar and grabs a handful. Selecting one out of his hand, he bends over, shoves it up his ass, pulls it out and eats it.
    "What the hell?!? That was disgusting! What the hell is wrong with that damn animal?" the bartender yelled.
    "Oh, that. Well after the ordeal with the cue ball, now he measures everything first."
    I don't argue to be right, I argue to be proven wrong. Because I'm aware that the collective intelligence of the community likely has more to offer to me by enlightening me, than I do to an individual by "winning" an argument with them.

    So a policeman sees a car speeding so he stops it. Since it's late and it's his 1000th car stopped, he decides to do something different, so he goes to the driver and says:
    "You're the 1000'th driver I stop, so I'm not going to fine you or something, in fact I'll even give you 100 euros, but I'm curious what will you do with the money?"
    Driver: "Thanks officer, I'm going to use it to get my driver's license!"
    To which a woman on the side-seat: "Don't listen to him officer, he always says stupid things when he's drunk"
    To which someone from the backseat whispers "Dude, I told you not to steal this car"
    To which from the trunk someone is heard saying "Have we crossed the border yet?"

    100 things to do to be a good Overlord

    1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear Plexiglas visors, not face-concealing ones.

    2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.

    3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.

    4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

    5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.

    6. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.

    7. When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No."

    8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks' time
    during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.

    9. I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labeled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labeled as such.

    10. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum-a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.

    11. I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.

    12. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.

    13. All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.

    14. The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or any other form of last request.

    15. I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I find that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting his plan into operation.

    16. I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's just one thing I want to know."

    17. When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice.

    18. I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned attempt to usurp power would easily fail, it would provide a fatal distraction at a crucial point in time.

    19. I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she was evil, but one look at the hero's rugged countenance and she'd betray her own father.

    20. Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it's too easy to miss unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.

    21. I will hire a talented fashion designer to create original uniforms for my Legions of Terror, as opposed to some cheap knock-offs that make them look like Nazi storm troopers, Roman foot soldiers, or savage Mongol hordes. All were eventually defeated and I want my troops to have a more positive
    mind-set.

    22. No matter how tempted I am with the prospect of unlimited power, I will not consume any energy field bigger than my head.

    23. I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way-even if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy weapons useless my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and rocks.

    24. I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, I will never utter the line "No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!" (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)

    25. No matter how well it would perform, I will never construct any sort of machinery which is completely indestructible except for one small and virtually inaccessible vulnerable spot.

    26. No matter how attractive certain members of the rebellion are, there is probably someone just as attractive who is not desperate to kill me. Therefore, I will think twice before ordering a prisoner sent to my bedchamber.

    27. I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times.

    28. My pet monster will be kept in a secure cage from which it cannot escape and into which I could not accidentally stumble.

    29. I will dress in bright and cheery colors, and so throw my enemies into confusion.

    30. All bumbling conjurers, clumsy squires, no-talent bards, and cowardly thieves in the land will be pre-emptively put to death. My foes will surely give up and abandon their quest if they have no source of comic relief.

    31. All naive, busty tavern wenches in my realm will be replaced with surly, world-weary waitresses who will provide no unexpected reinforcements and/or romantic subplot for the hero or his sidekick.

    32. I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.

    33. I won't require high-ranking female members of my organization to wear a stainless-steel bustier. Morale is better with a more casual dress-code. Similarly, outfits made entirely from black leather will be reserved for formal occasions.

    34. I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.

    35. I will not grow a goatee. In the old days they made you look diabolic. Now they just make you look like a disaffected member of Generation X.

    36. I will not imprison members of the same party in the same cell block, let alone the same cell. If they are important prisoners, I will keep the only key to the cell door on my person instead of handing out copies to every bottom-rung guard in the prison.

    37. If my trusted lieutenant tells me my Legions of Terror are losing a battle, I will believe him. After all, he's my trusted lieutenant.

    38. If an enemy I have just killed has a younger sibling or offspring anywhere, I will find them and have them killed immediately, instead of waiting for them to grow up harboring feelings of vengeance towards me in my old age.

    39. If I absolutely must ride into battle, I will certainly not ride at the forefront of my Legions of Terror, nor will I seek out my opposite number among his army.

    40. I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an unstoppable super weapon, I will use it as early and as often as possible instead of keeping it in reserve.

    41. Once my power is secure, I will destroy all those pesky time- travel devices.

    42. When I capture the hero, I will make sure I also get his dog, monkey, ferret, or whatever sickeningly cute little animal capable of untying ropes and fetching keys happens to follow him around.

    43. I will maintain a healthy amount of skepticism when I capture the beautiful rebel and she claims she is attracted to my power and good looks and will gladly betray her companions if I just let her in on my plans.

    44. I will only employ bounty hunters who work for money. Those who work for the pleasure of the hunt tend to do dumb things like even the odds to give the other guy a sporting chance.

    45. I will make sure I have a clear understanding of who is responsible for what in my organization. For example, if my general screws up I will not draw my weapon, point it at him, say "And here is the price for failure," then suddenly turn and kill some random underling.

    46. If an advisor says to me "My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?", I will reply "This." and kill the advisor.

    47. If I learn that a callow youth has begun a quest to destroy me, I will slay him while he is still a callow youth instead of waiting for him to mature.

    48. I will treat any beast which I control through magic or technology with respect and kindness. Thus if the control is ever broken, it will not immediately come after me for revenge.

    49. If I learn the whereabouts of the one artifact which can destroy me, I will not send all my troops out to seize it. Instead I will send them out to seize something else and quietly put a Want- Ad in the local paper.

    50. My main computers will have their own special operating system that will be completely incompatible with standard IBM and Macintosh PowerBook's.

    51. If one of my dungeon guards begins expressing concern over the conditions in the beautiful princess' cell, I will immediately transfer him to a less people-oriented position.

    52. I will hire a team of board-certified architects and surveyors to examine my castle and inform me of any secret passages and abandoned tunnels that I might not know about.

    53. If the beautiful princess that I capture says "I'll never marry you! Never, do you hear me, NEVER!!!", I will say "Oh well" and kill her.

    54. I will not strike a bargain with a demonic being then attempt to double-cross it simply because I feel like being contrary.

    55. The deformed mutants and odd-ball psychotics will have their place in my Legions of Terror. However before I send them out on important covert missions that require tact and subtlety, I will first see if there is anyone else equally qualified who would attract less attention.

    56. My Legions of Terror will be trained in basic marksmanship. Any who cannot learn to hit a man-sized target at 10 meters will be used for target practice.

    57. Before employing any captured artifacts or machinery, I will carefully read the owner's manual.

    58. If it becomes necessary to escape, I will never stop to pose dramatically and toss off a one-liner.

    59. I will never build a sentient computer smarter than I am.

    60. My five-year-old child advisor will also be asked to decipher any code I am thinking of using. If he breaks the code in under 30 seconds, it will not be used. Note: this also applies to passwords.

    61. If my advisors ask "Why are you risking everything on such a mad scheme?", I will not proceed until I have a response that satisfies them.

    62. I will design fortress hallways with no alcoves or protruding structural supports which intruders could use for cover in a firefight.

    63. Bulk trash will be disposed of in incinerators, not compactors. And they will be kept hot, with none of that nonsense about flames going through accessible tunnels at predictable intervals.

    64. I will see a competent psychiatrist and get cured of all extremely unusual phobias and bizarre compulsive habits which could prove to be a disadvantage.

    65. If I must have computer systems with publicly available terminals, the maps they display of my complex will have a room clearly marked as the Main Control Room. That room will be the Execution Chamber. The actual main control room will be marked as Sewage Overflow Containment.

    66. My security keypad will actually be a fingerprint scanner. Anyone who watches someone press a sequence of buttons or dusts the pad for fingerprints then subsequently tries to enter by repeating that sequence will trigger the alarm system.

    67. No matter how many shorts we have in the system, my guards will be instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a full-scale emergency.

    68. I will spare someone who saved my life sometime in the past. This is only reasonable as it encourages others to do so. However, the offer is good one time only. If they want me to spare them again, they'd better save my life again.

    69. All midwives will be banned from the realm. All babies will be delivered at state-approved hospitals. Orphans will be placed in foster-homes, not abandoned in the woods to be raised by creatures of the wild.

    70. When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always travel in groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if one of them disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other will immediately initiate an alert and call for backup, instead of quizzically peering around a corner.

    71. If I decide to test a lieutenant's loyalty and see if he/she should be made a trusted lieutenant, I will have a crack squad of marksmen standing by in case the answer is no.

    72. If all the heroes are standing together around a strange device and begin to taunt me, I will pull out a conventional weapon instead of using my unstoppable super weapon on them.

    73. I will not agree to let the heroes go free if they win a rigged contest, even though my advisors assure me it is impossible for them to win.

    74. When I create a multimedia presentation of my plan designed so that my five-year-old advisor can easily understand the details, I will not label the disk "Project Overlord" and leave it lying on top of my desk.

    75. I will instruct my Legions of Terror to attack the hero en masse, instead of standing around waiting while members break off and attack one or two at a time.

    76. If the hero runs up to my roof, I will not run up after him and struggle with him in an attempt to push him over the edge. I will also not engage him at the edge of a cliff. (In the middle of a rope- bridge over a river of molten lava is not even worth considering.)

    77. If I have a fit of temporary insanity and decide to give the hero the chance to reject a job as my trusted lieutenant, I will retain enough sanity to wait until my current trusted lieutenant is out of earshot before making the offer.

    78. I will not tell my Legions of Terror "And he must be taken alive!" The command will be "And try to take him alive if it is reasonably practical."

    79. If my doomsday device happens to come with a reverse switch, as soon as it has been employed it will be melted down and made into limited-edition commemorative coins.

    80. If my weakest troops fail to eliminate a hero, I will send out my best troops instead of wasting time with progressively stronger ones as he gets closer and closer to my fortress.

    81. If I am fighting with the hero atop a moving platform such as a train, have disarmed him, and am about to finish him off and he glances behind me and drops flat, I too will drop flat instead of quizzically turning around to find out what he saw.

    82. I will not shoot at any of my enemies if they are standing in front of the crucial support beam to a heavy, dangerous, unbalanced structure.

    83. If I'm eating dinner with the hero, put poison in his goblet, then have to leave the table for any reason, I will order new drinks for both of us instead of trying to decide whether or not to switch with him.

    84. I will not have captives of one sex guarded by members of the opposite sex.

    85. I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly complicated, e.g. "Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred altar then activate the medallion at the moment of total eclipse." Instead it will be more along the lines of "Push the button."

    86. I will make sure that my doomsday device is up to code and properly grounded.

    87. My vats of hazardous chemicals will be covered when not in use. Also, I will not construct walkways above them.

    88. If a group of henchmen fail miserably at a task, I will not berate them for incompetence then send the same group out to try the task again.

    89. After I captures the hero's super weapon, I will not immediately disband my legions and relax my guard because I believe whoever holds the weapon is unstoppable. After all, the hero held the weapon and I took it from him.

    90. I will not design my Main Control Room so that every workstation is facing away from the door.

    91. I will not ignore the messenger that stumbles in exhausted and obviously agitated until my personal grooming or current entertainment is finished. It might actually be important.

    92. If I ever talk to the hero on the phone, I will not taunt him. Instead I will say this his dogged perseverance has given me new insight on the futility of my evil ways and that if he leaves me alone for a few months of quiet contemplation I will likely return to the path of righteousness (Heroes are incredibly gullible in this regard.)

    93. If I decide to hold a double execution of the hero and an underling who failed or betrayed me, I will see to it that the hero is scheduled to go first.

    94. When arresting prisoners, my guards will not allow them to stop and grab a useless trinket of purely sentimental value.

    95. My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate tells the guard it's an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma team instead of opening up the cell for a look.

    96. My door mechanisms will be designed so that blasting the control panel on the outside seals the door and blasting the control panel on the inside opens the door, not vice versa.

    97. My dungeon cells will not be furnished with objects that contain reflective surfaces or anything that can be unraveled.

    98. If an attractive young couple enters my realm, I will carefully monitor their activities. If I find they are happy and affectionate, I will ignore them. However if circumstance have forced them together against their will and they spend all their time bickering and criticizing each other except during the intermittent occasions when they are saving each others' lives at which point there are hints of sexual tension, I will immediately order their execution.

    99. Any data file of crucial importance will be padded to 1.45Mb in size.

    100. Finally, to keep my subjects permanently locked in a mindless trance, I will provide each of them with free unlimited Internet access.

    Soviet joke, here, I'll translate: He was russian, because of the Pravda and so he drank vodka. So then the communists decided to tear down his house to build a tractor factory for the workers and all that. But alas, to do that they needed to get the guy out, and a "nice" thing the communists did was frame people. So they said he was a murderer. Russian guy was too drunk to realize it's him, but he looked outside and saw his own reflection in the bulldozer blade. It kept getting closer as the bulldozer was getting closer. And then he realized it and dropped the vodka, he was in a shock realizing he had been framed. And then it ended. Here's a tractor.

    Did I get it right?

This is where the story is supposed to end on a dramatic twist.

    Things like "Such is life in Moscow", "Your apartment is bulldozed down to make way for glorious tractor factory", and "You're sent to count trees in Siberia" are typical replacement endings for the soviet jokes. The abrupt anti-climatic endings, often depressing satire, are supposed to be the punchlines, basically.

    Here's another one:

    Babysitter home with young boy and young girl. She get call parents, who are working night shift in factory asking if everything is fine. She tells them da, but the large statue of Lenin in daughter's room is unsettling. Later, she is arrested by KGB for calling great father of motherland "unsettling". She is sent to count trees in Siberia. Such is life in Moscow.
    I see, didn't know about the typical endings for soviet jokes so took it as a part of the story. Thanks for clearing that up.
