Old Man Jokes

Post by OssyClaret » Thu Aug 17, 2017 12:31 pm

Can all of you dithering old fogeys slow down on the old man jokes?

The forum is becoming increasingly hard to read with the amount of awful Dad jokes on every thread. The Federico Santandar thread is a painful read.

It can't be healthy on your frail old bodies continuously thinking about where your next opportunity for an awful joke is going to come from. ;)

Predictable first response and not a bad effort Goobs.

Steve1956 - Out of interest, at what point in life did you start worrying about ageism? And when does this need to spout awful jokes kick in - do you just run out of other things to talk about, is that what happens? I need to prepare myself for later life.

The Old Man, The Boy, And The Donkey
An old man and a young boy were travelling through their village with their donkey. The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked.

As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk." They then decided they both would walk.

Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying, "How awful to put such a load on a poor donkey."

The boy and man said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey.

As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story?

If you try to please everyone, you may as well just kiss your ass goodbye.

He said - "Shall we try swapping positions tonight"
She said - "That's a good idea... you stand by the ironing board while I sit on the sofa and fart".

Hi Ossy, welcome to the board.

So, you are worried about when you will start worrying about your age? I guess it's when you are seeing a correlation between the ages of the tellers of jokes and the quality of those jokes. However, it doesn't work like that. When you are at primary school you hear someone tell a joke, usually the boy telling the joke is older than you, or if he is in your class then he has an older brother who has told him the joke. And, you remember that joke - and memory is a wonderful thing. When you are older you are still able to recall that joke that you first heard when you were at primary school. So, you tell that joke - the pity of age is that we can't remember any other jokes. Why do you think Ken Dodd (perhaps you haven't heard of him) and that other guy, Bob something or other, (all the old guys will remember him) wrote down every single joke they'd ever heard....

You must have gone to Canada in the '70s. :) My father was horrified by the laws when we moved there back then. Things have changed now though - and my young adulthood was certainly never impeded by those laws.

Got a good friend in Toronto. Visited a few times, first time I got there was 1993. Aren't all the "offies" state owned/controlled, or has that now changed?

I pulled over to the side of the road and asked a man walking his dog on the pavement "I'm looking for a rubbish tip"

He said, "Rovers to win the league"

No chance - with Tarka in there it has to be ABC's midfield.
