It was only this year that I found out this joke had another meaning

other side = other side of the road

other side = the after life




Oh yes!!

I asked a pretty, young homeless woman if I could take her home. She smiled at me and said yes.

The look on her face soon changed, however, when I walked off with her cardboard box.

SaveFerris,

That joke is actually quite old. The names of countries drastically changed since the 1980s when I first read that joke. It used to be "Hungarians and Yugoslavs." Now they're Serbs, Croats, Slovenians and the like.

^ well it was a new one on me and it gave me a giggle. It was even more funnier that it came from you as you never post things like that :twisted:

I find the 'out of character' thing funny

It is out of character for me to post sexual/ethnic content, but not out of character entirely because it integrates a few special interests, medical and geographical/ethnic/cultural names and places.

I guess this is my year for that joke too, because I never knew there was a dual meaning. The last explanation I got was that it was funny because it didn't deliver an expected punchline, or the joke is that there is no joke. :scratch:

Now it finally makes sense! :D

He was so short, that if he ran too quickly his shoelaces would poke him in the eyes.

That makes 3 of us. I had no idea, I thought it was just a lame kids' joke.

Not really a joke, but a comic strip, Dennis the Menace:

Dennis is taken by his mom to see the doctor. The doctor asks what the problem is. He said, 'I don't know. Must be something I ate and (pointing to his mom), "SHE MADE ME EAT IT!"

Shortly after Rolf Harris got released from prison, he moved to South Korea and changed his name to So-dig Young Poon

An old Olympic report asked what deep dark secret track star Stella Walsh was trying to hide.

Well, now we know she was actually Stanley Walsh. (Yes, she turned out to be a he. Stella Walsh was a track star of the 1930s).

There once was an older couple who didn't get along well at all. The husband had a fiery temper and he and his wife would scream and yell at each other every night. The husband was always telling her that when he died he was going to dig his way up out of his grave and come after her. The neighbors were very frightened of him, and he loved the power and manipulation he had over them.

One day the old man finally did die. After his funeral the neighbors went to see his wife and were shocked by how calm she was. She even seemed happy for once. They asked her, "Aren't you afraid now that your husband is dead and buried? Aren't you terrified that he's going to spring back from the dead, dig his way back up out of his grave and come after you?"
"Not at all." the wife told them, "I had the evil old coot buried face-down!" :twisted:

Even people who are good for nothing have the capacity to bring a smile to your face.
For instance, when you push them down the stairs.

Donald Trump is visiting a elementary school and he visits one of the classes. They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks Mr Trump if he would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy." So he asks the class for an example of a tragedy.

One little boy stands up and offers: "If my best friend who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy." "No," says Mr Trump, "that would be an accident."

A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explains the exalted businessman. "That's what we would call a great loss."

The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Mr Trump searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally at the back of the room, little Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says: "If a private jet carrying you was struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaims Mr Trump, "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says the boy, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident either."
