Going North.

Two fish are in a tank. One says to the other, “Do you know how to drive this thing?”


I’ll be in Vancouver, British Columbia, this weekend—finally!—and thus, I shan’t post here for a few days.

I invite you to leave an amusing (and tasteful and appropriate) comment to entertain (or educate or illuminate) me upon my return. Go on.

This is as good a time as any to delurk.

Two parrots are sitting on a perch. One says to the other, “Can you smell fish?”

An older man and woman are dancing. He’s looking amazed and completely delighted. She is blushing and says to him loudly, ‘No I said I have acute angina.’

You mean you are going to be in Northern Montana?

Two muffins are in an oven. The first one says, “Is it just me, or is it getting hot in here?” The second one says, “Oh my god, a talking muffin!”

(Apparently John Tierney used this as an example of an unfunny joke that people will laugh at in certain socially expected contexts, but this just proves that he has no sense of humor, because it’s genuinely hilarious).

I like to go into the Body Shop and shout out really loud “I’ve already got one!”

Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, “I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent.”

“Thank God,” said an elderly nun at the back. “I’m so tired of chardonnay.”

Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says “I’ve lost my electron,” The other says, “Are you sure?” The first replies “Yes, I’m positive.”

To Jesse, the evidently ignorant American: Vancouver is in British Columbia, which is right above Washington. The provinces right above Montana are Alberta and Saskatchewan. Would it kill you to look at a map before trying to make a derogatory comment?

To Maria: I’m afraid I haven’t got a punny comment (my muffin joke was already posted), but I can’t wait to hear about your trip to Vancouver! Did you go over to the island as well?

Oh me, Ada, you have to give Jesse some slack — he was joking.

Hooray! Twelve people read this blog! (Or at least just the comments of the blog…)

I hadn’t anticipated that I would return to a bevy of bad, bad jokes. I guess this is what people mean by “leading by example”.

Sorry Ada, that’s what my friends from Trail, B.C. used to say anytime someone asked them if they were from Canada.
