ok I'll take the bait--some puns intended
A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The
flight attendant looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one
carrion allowed per passenger."Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire
in the craft. Unsurprisingly it immediately sank, proving once again
that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says "I've lost my electron." The
other says "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."
Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a
root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were
standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about
an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But
why?", they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said," I can't stand
chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time,
which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very
little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he Suffered from bad
breath. This made him (Oh man -- this is so bad, it's good) a super calloused
fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Ok, this isn't QUITE in the same league as Alan's puns.....(esp that LAST ONE!!) but no joke thread is complete without at least one Irish joke! :-) :-) With a name like "Cathleen" you figure out part of my ancestry! :-)
************************************************************************************************************************
Two men were sitting next to each other at a bar. After a while, one guy looks at the other and says, “I can’t help but think, from listening to you, that you’re from Ireland.”
The other guy responds proudly, “Yes, that I am.”
The first guy says, “So am I! And where about from Ireland might you be?”
The other guy answers, “I’m from Dublin, I am.”
“Sure and begorra! And what street did you live on in Dublin?”
The other guy says, “A lovely little area it was. I lived on McCleary Street in the old central part of the town.”
The first guy says, “Faith and it’s a small world! So did I! So did I! And to what school would you have been going?”
The other guy answers, “Well now, I went to St. Mary’s, of course.”
The first guy gets really excited and says, “And so did I! Tell me, what year did you graduate?”
The other guy answers, “Well, now, let’s see. I graduated in 1964.”
The first guy exclaims, “The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same bar tonight! Can you believe it? I graduated from St. Mary’s in 1964 my own self!”
About this time, John walks into the bar, sits down and orders a beer. Brian the bartender walks over to John, shaking his head and mutters, “It’s going to be a long night tonight.”
John asks, “Why do you say that, Brian?”
Brian replies, “The Murphy twins are drunk again.”

Here is one more. In my former life I trained as an accountant....and have been married to an engineer for 27 years. :-)
***********************************************************************************************************************************
A Train Ticket
Some large accounting and engineering conventions were being held in the same city. On the train to the conventions, there were both accountants and engineers. Each of the engineers had his/her own train ticket. But the accountants had only ONE ticket for all of them. The engineers started laughing and snickering. The accountants ignored the laughter.
Then, one of the accountants said, "Here comes the conductor". All of the accountants piled into the bathroom. The engineers were puzzled. The conductor came aboard and collected tickets from all the engineers. He went to the bathroom, knocked on the door, and said "Ticket please". An accountant stuck their only ticket under the door. The conductor took the ticket and left. A few minutes later, the accountants emerged from the bathroom. The engineers felt really stupid.
On the way back from the convention, the engineers had ONE ticket for their group. They started snickering at the accountants, who had NO tickets amongst them. When the accountant lookout shouted "Conductor coming!” all the accountants again piled into a bathroom. All of the engineers went into another bathroom. Then, before the conductor came on board, one of the accountants left the bathroom, knocked on the other bathroom, and said "Ticket please".

Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.
"Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!!"
"Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney. "Now can ye tell me where are you're callin' from?"

“Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
There’s always laughter and good red wine.
At least I’ve always found it so.
Benedicamus Domino!”

Ok, one more joke, this time from Ukraine:
We needed a bridge. This bridge was built.
Now, we need a guard for the bridge, so a guard was hired.
Now we need a manger to manage the guard. A manager was hired.
Now we need a house for the manager, so a house was built.
Now we need maid service for the house, so maids were hired.
Now we need a chef to cook for the manager and business related activities, so a chef was hired.
As time went on, it came to reality that guarding the bridge was becoming too expensive to maintain.
SOLUTION: fire the guard.

The Pope goes to New York. He is picked up at the airport by a limousine. He looks at the beautiful car and says to the driver, "You know, I hardly ever get to drive. Would you please let me?"
The driver is understandably hesistant and says, "I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm supposed to do that."
But the Pope persists, "Please?" The driver finally lets up. "Oh, all right, I can't really say no to the Pope."
So the Pope takes the wheel, and boy, is he a speed demon! He hits the gas and goes around 100 mph in a 45 zone. A policeman notices and pulls him over.
The cop walks up and asks the Pope to roll down the window. Startled and surprised, the young officer asks the Pope to wait a minute. He goes back to his patrol car and radios the chief.
Cop: Chief, I have a problem.
Chief: What sort of problem?
Cop: Well, you see, I pulled over this guy for driving way over the speed limit but it's someone really important.
Chief: Important like the mayor?
Cop: No, no, much more important than that.
Chief: Important like the governor?
Cop: Wayyyyyy more important than that.
Chief: Like the president?
Cop: More.
Chief: Who's more important than the president?
Cop: I don't know, but he's got the Pope driving for him!
