Factory Joke Thread – June 2022

 

This is the official POI Factory Joke thread.

****Note regarding this month's delay in posting of the thread****

I strongly considered discontinuing the POI Factory Joke Thread.

Forum moderation is not easy in general, let alone a joke thread, particularly in a time of extreme political polarization and social disruption. So please be thoughtful in what you chose to share here.

Read all the forum rules before posting, keeping in mind...

"POI Factory is not a forum for politically charged debate.
Let's avoid topics that already have a long list of Democrat or Republican talking points or that name specific politicians."

Also, if your joke is removed try not to take it personally.
I try to keep post moderating to a minimum and only remove items that violate our forum rules or that could reflect poorly on POI Factory as a whole.

This thread will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

Great point

John from PA wrote:

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.

My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing."

She then said that’s what you did yesterday—to which I replied—"I WASN’T DONE , SO I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF FINISHING RIGHT NOW."

The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?" At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.

Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the testicles? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the testicles, but how could they know?

Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question. Getting kicked in the testicles is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion. A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child." On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the testicles."

I rest my case. Time for another beer, and then maybe a nap.

[I used the term testicles, feel free to make an appropriate substitution in your own mind}

Never quite thought of it that way before. But, it makes perfect sense.

Lingerie for His Wife

An older man with vision problems walked into a sexy lingerie shop to purchase their most sexy, see-through item for his wife.

After receiving some help from the store clerk, he bought a lace garment for $600 and brought it home for his wife to try on.

She took it upstairs and realized that it didn’t quite fit. but, she figured, since it was supposed to be see-through and he was practically blind, she might as well wear nothing at all.

So she came downstairs completely naked.

“Huh,” said the man, when he saw her. “For the amount I paid, they could’ve at least ironed the damn thing.”

Little Johnny learns about society

Johnny asks his dad how a country runs. His dad thinks and replies, ‘Well, it’s like this. I earn the money in the house, so I’m the rich. Your mom takes care of running the home, so she is the government. The maid is the working class, and your baby brother is the future. And finally you Johnny, are the average citizen.’

That night Johnny is woken up by his baby brother’s cries. He goes to the crib and notices that his brother has soiled his diapers. He runs to his mom and finds her fast asleep. He then goes to the maid’s room and finds her in bed with his father. He returns to his bed.

The next day Johnny tells his dad that he has the working of a country all figured out. His dad asks him to explain.

“A country is where an average citizen can’t get proper sleep as the rich are screwing the working class, the government is fast asleep and the future is full of shit,” Johnny explains.

senior center

Yesterday my daughter asked why I didn't do something useful with my time. She suggested I go down to the senior centre and hang out with the guys.
I did this and when I got home last night I told her that I had joined a parachute club.
She said "Are you nuts? You're almost 68 years old and you're going to start jumping out of aeroplanes?"
I proudly showed her that I even got a membership card.
She said to me, "You idiot, where are your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club!"
I'm in trouble again and don't know what to do!
I signed up for five jumps a week!

Kids Meal

I ate a kids meal at McDonalds today. His mother seemed pretty upset.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.

I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?'

'No,' she answered.

I then said, 'Is that your final answer?'

... She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'

So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And that's when the fight started...

What's worse

What's worse than raining cats and dogs? Hailing Taxis.

got my money back

Paddy bought a camel from a farmer for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the camel the next day.
In the morning he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news.
The camel's died.'
Paddy replied, 'Well just give me my money back then.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.'
Paddy said, 'OK then, just bring me the dead camel.'
The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?'
Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead camel!'
Paddy said, 'Sure I can. Watch me.
I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, 'What happened with that dead camel?'
Paddy said, 'I raffled him off.
I sold 500 tickets at $2 each and made a profit of $898′
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Paddy said, 'Just the guy who won.
So I gave him his $2 back.'
