Short jokes appropriate to share with a terminal friend? →[More:] Terminal buddy has asked for jokes by computer. He has a GREAT sense of humor, and I need something Not Stupid, or too morbid, or too dirty because he is running a public forum. If you have anything, do a good deed and share. Thanks.

Here's the big AskMe joke thread. (I haven't looked through it recently, but I bet a few things there will do the trick.)

A guy gets into a fight with Batman.

Batman hits him with a vase and goes "T'PAU!"

"Don't you mean 'KAPOW"?' says the guy.

"No", says Batman, "I've got china in my hand"

I read this question as you wanting jokes about short people to share with your friend who's dying of a terminal illness.

I was *very* confused.

Wait, I still may be confused...

Shorter than essay length jokes about any subject but death or disease or politics that aren't too racy to share with my friend (and by extention, his family and friends) who is dying of a terminal illness. Soon. I'm finding it surprisingly tricky, but it's a better option than platitudes, for me.

Why don't Newfoundlanders really mind that Quebec wants to secede from Canada?

It'll shorten their drive to Toronto

Funny coincidence - the mister sent me a Newfie joke this morning:

The Newfie saw the sign at the restaurant. It read...

Happy hour special:
Lobster Tail & Beer.

"Lard 'Tunderin' Jaises!" he says to himself, "Me tree favourite tings!"

danf: I laughed way harder than I should at that. I'm still laughing. Tee hee. For a non-Canuck, you're pretty funny! ;)

Well that was from a guy named Reverend Chemleigh, who is about the funniest person (performer) I have ever seen.

I can email you an even funnier one, that could be offensive to some people here. . .let me know. . .*smile*

My dog, Minton, swallowed a shuttlecock the other day.

Bad Minton!
