Punishingly Intricate
Remember when Jessica Savitch drowned back in the early 80s? Well there was a Philadelphia newscaster, Jim O'Brien, who'd died in a skydiving accident about a month before. The tasteless joke about them that went around my junior high was something like:
What did Jessica Savitch and Jim O'Brien have when they went out to eat together?
Surf and turf

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Man, I love Improv Everywhere!!
Yeah, that one is now one of my faves....

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
OK, this made me laugh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I remember hearing lots of dead baby and blender jokes.
The only joke I can tell anymore isn't a kids joke: A well-dressed gentleman is walking down the street when a bum asks him for some money. The gentleman says, "Neither a borrower nor lender be - Shakespeare." The bum replies, "Fuck you - Mamet."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
How do you get a nun pregnant?
Reminds me of my favorite blonde joke back when I was.
How do you get a blonde pregnant? You fuck her. And you thought they were stupid!
My favorite joke that got me in many a frat party. Not clean and requires a southern accent.
Three southern belles are discussing their beaus, all of whom are named Bubba. This causes much confusion so they come up with a solution to nickname each one after a soda pop.
The first belle says, "Imma nickname my Bubba...7-Up, cause he's 7 inches long and always up!"
The second belle says, "Well Imma nickname mine Mountain Dew, cause that's all he wants to do is mount 'n do."
The third belle takes her time and after a while says, "I think I'll nickname my Bubba...Jack Daniels."
The other two exclaim, "Sweetie! You can't do that! That's not a soda pop, that's a hard liquor!"
And she says, "Yeah. I know!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The topical joke that always made me crack up was:
What's the title of Salman Rushdie's new novel? Buddah, You Fat Fuck!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
In my drama class in college, one of our first classes had everyone getting up and telling two jokes, and they had to be story-type jokes, not q&a ones. I told two I heard on "Dave Allen at Large" on PBS, complete with the appropriate Irish accent, and they both went over very well (unlike most of my joke telling), so I still pull them out every once in a while.
