Little fella walking into the pub and standing outside is a
nun. ‘Before you enter this den of iniquity, think of the damage alcohol will
do to you,’ says the nun. ‘What are you talking about,’ says the little fella.
‘Have you ever had a drink?’ ‘No,’ she says. ‘Well how about I get you a drink
and then at least you’ll know what you’re talking about. What’ll you have?’ ‘I
don’t know,’ she replies, ‘what do ladies usually drink?’ ‘Gin.’ ‘Well, I’ll
have gin, but put it in a cup so no-one will notice.’
Little fella walks up to the bar and says, ‘I’ll have a pint
of bitter and a double gin in a cup.’
Barman says, ‘Is that bloody nun out there again?’

It's business as usual for a bartender, and one day as he is
cleaning his bar when an unusual customer walks in. The man is dressed in an
expensive suit, has a beautiful supermodel hanging off each arm, and has a limo
parked outside. Furthermore, the man has an orange for a head.
The customer sits down at the bar and orders everyone a
drink. He pays for it from a roll of hundreds and manages to get the attention
of every woman in the joint, despite having an orange for a head.
The bartender is not a man to pry, but he feels compelled to
ask about this man's life.
"Excuse me," says the bartender, "I can't
help but notice that you're obviously fabulously wealthy and irresistable to
women, but you have an orange for a head. How did that happen?"
So the man told his story.
"A while back, when I was penniless, I was walking
along the beach and saw an old lamp, half buried in the sand. I picked it up
and gave it a clean, and POOF! out popped a genie. The genie explained that he
had been trapped in that lamp for two hundred years, and that he was so
grateful to me for freeing him that he would give me three wishes.
"For my first wish I asked for an unlimited fortune.
The genie said 'It is done!' and from then on, whenever I needed money, it was
there.
"For my second wish I asked for the attention of all
the most beautiful women in the world. The genie said it was done, and since
then I have been able to get any woman I wanted.
"For my third wish -- and, this is the bit where I
kinda fucked up -- I asked for an orange for a head."
Comments:
Apparently half of the readers will find this incredibly funny
and half can’t see anything funny in it.
The humour is that there is no humour, one can almost describe it as
anti-humour. There are numerous discussions on the internet about whether the orange head joke is funny or not, read a sample discussion at:
That site gives another similar example:
A man walks into a control room. There is a big red button
labelled "Nuclear Launch Button." He walks up and presses it.
A display screen next to the button reads "Input
password." There is a number panel below the screen. He searches around
the room, and finds a locked desk. He jimmies it open, and rummages around
through it. Inside there is sheet of paper which says "Nuclear launch
password: 7831662"
He returns to the number panel, and punches in 7831662. The
display screen says "Code confirmed. Press again to launch." He
presses the button again. "Launching nuclear arsenal."
He stares at the screen in shock. "Aw shit.... I fucked
up."

From the vault:
A man who just died is delivered to the mortuary wearing an
expensive, expertly tailored black suit.
The mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like
the body dressed, pointing out that the man looks good in the black suit he's
already wearing. The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband
looked his best in blue and that she would like him buried in a blue suit.
She gives the mortician a blank cheque and says, "I
don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the
viewing."
The woman returns the next day for the wake and to her
delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle
chalk stripe; the suit fits him perfectly. She says to the mortician,
"Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I'm
very grateful. How much did you spend?"
To her astonishment, the mortician presents her with the
blank check. "There's no charge," he says. "No, really, I must
compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!" she says.
"Honestly, ma'am," the mortician says, "it cost nothing. You
see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly
after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked
his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and
she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice. Then it was just a
matter of switching the heads"

Corn Corner:
Once upon a time, there was a young boy, and this young boy
was having his 10th birthday. His father thinking that it was an important day
for his young lad, said to him, 'You can have anything that you want for your
birthday'. The boy thought and thought. Finally, he said to his pop, "Dad,
I want a green golf ball." The man was surprised a bit, but decided to
humour his son. And so, the boy recieved 1 green golf ball for his 10th
birthday.
On this boy's 13th birthday, when he hit his teens, the
father once again walked up to the boy, and told him what he had before. The
boy thought. And thought. Finally, he said, "Dad, I want 10 green golf
balls." Now, the father was slightly curious about this, and he almost
asked his son why. But then he decided that it was just youthfulness, and left
it at that.
Upon graduating from High School, the boy was once again
given that same offer by his father. He thought and thought and thought.
Finally, he went up to his old man and said, "Dad, I want 100 green golf
balls." Now, the father was very curious about this, and asked his son,
finally, why he wanted the balls. The boy just said, "Dad! It's a
secret!" The father backed down, and got the boy his balls.
When the boy graduated from college, his father once again
offered him anything he wanted. Once again, the boy thought. Once again, the
boy walked up to his father. He said, "Dad, I want 1000 green golf
balls." The father decided that the boy knew how to live his life. But
still he asked, "Why, son? Why do you want these green golf balls?"
And once again, the boy said, "It's a secret, Dad!"
And then came the war. And the boy volunteered himself for
his country. And when he came back in one piece, his father said, "Son, I
will get you anything that you want!" And the boy thought. And thought.
And he said, "Dad, I want 10,000 green golf balls." And the father
could not hold back his question any longer. "Why? Why, son? Why do you
need these green golf balls?" And the son looked at thim, and he said, "Dad,
now, I told you that it was a secret. Please don't make me tell you." And
the father backed off.
The boy got married. His father walked up to him, and
offered him anything he would want on this joyous occasion. The boy thought and
thought and thought. And thought. And, finally, he said, "Dad... I want
100,000 green golf balls..." And the father, keeping calm, asked why. Why
the boy wanted so many green golf balls. And all the boy could do was look at
his father, and say, "It's a secret." And the father kept silent.
Then, tragedy struck. There was a car accident. The boy was
mortally injured. And the father went to see the son in his final hour. And he
asked his son if there was anything he could get him. And the son whispered, "Father...
Please get me 1,000,000 green golf balls..." And the father almost wept.
He said, "Son, please tell me why you want these green golf balls..."
And the son looked at his father, and he said, "Alright, dad..."
And then he died.
