He said he can't complain.

I'm still fond of the classic "Why is six afraid of seven? Because seven ate nine!"
Those kids going on about 6-7 like it's some kind of power couple don't know what they're doing to poor 6.
Do you know why 7 8 9? Because you're supposed to get three square meals a day.
What's red and hurts?

... "There's more birds on that side"
It's so fucking dumb and all about timing
A blonde walks into a bar and asks for a double entendre.
So the barman gave it to her.
Another one I've gotten a lot of good mileage out of
I once joked to my wife that avocados need to get better prizes because I always seem to get the same one- a little wooden ball.
Now, anytime I'm in the kitchen preparing something with avocados, I'll let out an audible groan of frustration.
Which always prompts my wife to ask, usually from the other room "What's wrong?"
To which I always reply "Another wooden ball"
Always good for a groan and some eye rolls from the wife. She never seems to see it coming.
Nice, I'll steal this one. My girlfriend will be very annoyed.
What do you call a pig with three eyes?
Title
Piiig (say it aloud)
How do you spell "Blind Pig"?

God damnit, three replies in this thread, and one of them is someone who beat me to the one I was going to say! Well played.

So you know how geese fly in that V-formation to reduce air resistance?
You know how sometimes the one arm of the "V" is longer than the other?
You know why that is?
spoiler
Because that side has more geese.
Best told while you're just out shooting the shit walking around outside when you can point out some geese acting like you're just pointing out another fun nature fact.
Fuck I said the same thing with seagulls lol
I hate that the joke makes me laugh, but I think it's mostly because my spouse hates it, so I just look at the birds if I see them now, and shes like NO!
Two muffins are in an oven. One says to the other "damn, it's hot in here." The other says "AHHH A TALKING MUFFIN!??"
Three friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, the rival florist across town thought the competition was< unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close down, but they would not. He asked his mother to go and ask the friars to get out of the business. They would not. So, the rival florist hired Hugh McTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to persuade them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close their business. Terrified, they did so - thereby proving that: Hugh, and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
The Tactical Velcro Opening Secret
It works really well sitting around a campfire with kids.
I told this to my SIL. The rest of the in-laws don't speak English, and got a good jump scare.
Also, not velcro, but opening a beer without the wife hearing.

What kind of bird is always getting hurt? An owl
God damn that was good. I won't spoil anything but for newcomers be warned that it will take about 30 minutes of your time, and it will be worth it.
Thanks for that comment. I went for the read and don’t regret it.
When someone points out one thing came before another to support an argument simply respond very confidently "only chronologically!"
