The funniest joke in the world:

The Second Funniest Joke ever:

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson goes on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend.

‘Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”

I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes,” replies Watson.

“And what do you deduce from that?”

Watson ponders for a minute.

“Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.

“Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?”

Holmes is silent for a moment. ‘Watson, you idiot!” he says. “Someone has stolen our tent!”

The Funniest jokes in different countries:

The Funniest Joke in the U.S.

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.” The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed and, in general, began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable.

Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.

The farmer said, “Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?”

The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said—”Well yeah, if that’s what they are—I never heard of circle flies.”

So the farmer says, “Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they’re called circle flies because they’re almost always found circling around the back end of a horse.”

The trooper says, “Oh,” and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, “Hey… wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse’s ass?”

The farmer says, “Oh no, Officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horse’s ass.”

The trooper says, “Well, that’s a good thing,” and goes back to writing the ticket.

After a long pause, the farmer says, “Hard to fool them flies though.”

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before:

Guy goes into a bar, there’s a robot bartender.

The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini.” The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “168”. The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.

The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says,” What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”. Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “100.” The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.

The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”, and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “Uh, about 50.” The robot leans in real close and says, “So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?”

The joke about the golfer reminded me of a similar one:

A guy was sitting in the nose bleed section of the stadium watching the kickoff of the Super Bowl when he spotted an empty seat on the fifty yard line maybe ten rows up. He quickly got out of his seat and made his way to it. He squeezed in next to a gray-haired, elderly man and asked, “Is this seat taken?”

“No, it's empty you can sit there.”

“Wow, thanks!" he answered.

“No problem”, the elderly man said, “It actually was for my wife. We went to the Super Bowl every year for the past forty years, but she died and this will be the first year without her.”

“Gee, I ‘m sorry to hear about that, but couldn't you have asked a relative to go with you?”, he asked.

“I would have”, the gentleman replied, “But they're all at the funeral.”

Three guys arrive at the Pearly Gates at the same time.

St. Peter says he only has one vacancy to fill his daily quota, and the guy with the best story of how he died will get in, so...

The first guy:

“I was feeling sick so I went home from work early, went to my apartment on the 40th floor and went to bed. But I got dizzy so I went out on the balcony for some fresh air, then I fell over the railing. I thought I was dead, but I managed to grab a balcony rail on one of the lower floors and I was hanging on thinking how lucky I was when a guy runs out and starts beating on my fingers with a hammer! I had to let go and knew I was dead. But then I hit the first floor awning and it broke my fall! I was hurting, but I was alive and thinking what a lucky guy I was when I looked up and saw this refrigerator coming down at me. I couldn’t move and it killed me.”

St. Peter was impressed, told him to stand to one side, and went to interview the second guy.

“At work I’d been hearing that my wife was cheating on me, so I left my job early and went home to confront her. But I live in a high rise apartment building, so I had to stop at the door and catch my breath before I could go in. When I opened the door, there was my wife, stark naked with a towel on her head. I screamed at her but she swore she’d just come out of the shower, so I started searching the apartment. I didn’t find anyone until I looked out on the balcony, and here’s this guy hanging on my railing! I grabbed a hammer and started pounding on his fingers so he let go. I figured I’d killed him but the lucky bastard hit the downstairs awning and I could see he was still alive on the sidewalk. I was so angry I went into the kitchen and rolled out the refrigerator, pushed it over the railing and watched it fall and crush the guy on the sidewalk. Then it came over me what I’d just done, knew my marriage was over, the police would come and I’d go to prison for murder, so I just jumped off the balcony and committed suicide.”

St. Peter said “Wow! That’s really quite a story. Stand over there while I get the third guy’s story.”

The third guy sighed and said: “Picture this: there I was, stark naked in a refrigerator...”

3 Blondes apply for entry to the police academy.

The Sargent calls in the 1st blonde in his office. He shows her a picture of a suspect for 10 seconds and asks her to describe the suspect.

She says “He has only one ear”

Sargent says “Come on lady you are looking at a profile picture”.

He calls the 2nd blond in. Same routine with the same picture.

She says “He has only one eye”

The Sargent is getting frustrated and yells “Lady it is a profile mug shot, of course you can see only his left eye”

So he calls in the 3rd blonde. Same routine with the picture...

She says “the suspect wears contacts”!

The Sargent looks at the suspects rap sheet and to his amazement discovers the suspect indeed wears contacts. He is impressed with the 3rd blonde. He asks “How did you figure that out”?

She says “it was easy, if he has only one ear and only one ear, there is no way he can wear glasses, Duh!”

3 Preachers were on an RV trip together with their wives when a terrrible accident happened and all in the RV were killed. When they all arrived at the Pearly Gates, St Peter looked at the preachers and said:

“Preachers, I am sure that with you all being preachers and all, there won’t be a problem letting you in here. I am sure you understand I have to check my book first.”

He looks at his book and then looks at the first preacher and says: “Preacher I am sorry but it says here in the book that all your life you lusted for money. You never had any money, but all your life you lusted for it. You lusted for it so hard, that you could not get married until you met a wife named Penny. Preacher I am sorry, but I am just not going to be able to let you in here.”

He looks at his book and then to the second preacher and says: “Preacher, you ain’t gonna believe this but it says here in the book that all your life you lusted for alcohol. You never drank any alcohol, but all your life you lusted for it. You lusted for it so hard, that you could not get married until you met a wife named Sherry. Preacher I am sorry, but I am just not going to be able to let you in here either.”

The third preacher looked at his wife and said: “Well Fanny I guess we best be on our way then...”

Three guys were fishing in a lake one day, when an angel appeared in the boat.

When the three astonished men had settled down enough to speak, the first guy asked the angel humbly, “I’ve suffered from back pain ever since I took shrapnel in the Vietnam War ... Could you help me?”

“Of course,” the angel said, and when he touched the man’s back, the man felt relief for the first time in years.

The second guy who wore very thick glasses and had a hard time reading and driving. He asked if the angel could do anything about his poor eyesight. The angel smiled, removed the man’s glasses and tossed them into the lake. When they hit the water, the man’s eyes cleared and he could see everything distinctly.

When the angel turned to the third guy, the guy put his hands out defensively — “Don’t touch me!” he cried, “I’m on a disability pension.”

A Florida fan was driving down a country road when he came upon two Georgia football players hitch-hiking and told them to jump in the back of his pick-up truck. He then drove down the dirt road rather fast and lost control as they were going around a curve. The truck landed in a lake.

The Florida fan scrambled to the surface and swam to shore. When he looked back at the lake, the two Georgia football players were still sitting in the bed of the truck, looking frantic.

As the truck began sinking, the Florida fan yelled for the Georgia players to get out, to which they replied, “We’re trying, but we can’t get the dang tailgate open!”

A salty old Marine Sergeant found himself running a recruitment booth at a campus event hosted by a liberal arts college. There was no shortage of young, attractive, idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant and began a conversation.

“Excuse me, sir, but you seem to be very quiet. Is there something wrong?”

“Negative, ma’am. Just serious by nature.”

The young lady looked at his awards and decorations.

“It looks like you have seen a lot of action.”

“Yes, ma’am, a lot of action.”

The young lady, struggling to keep the conversation going, said “You know, you should lighten up a little. Relax and enjoy yourself.”

The Marine just looked at her in his serious manner.

Finally the young lady said, “You know, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?”

“1955, ma’am.”

“Well, there you are. No wonder you’re so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no sex since 1955!”

She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to ‘relax’ him several times.

Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, “Wow, you sure didn’t forget much since 1955.”

The Marine looked at his watch and answered in his serious voice, “I hope not; It’s only 2130 now.”

A guy goes out to buy an expensive negligee for his wife for their fiftieth anniversary. He asked the saleslady to gift-wrap it for him and, as she was quite busy, she hurriedly threw it in a gift box, wrapped it with gift paper and attached a bow. When the wife got home, her husband tells her, “I have a surprise for you. Go into the bathroom and take off your clothes and open your present.”

“Tee-Hee”, she giggled, and skipped girlishly into the bathroom. She sees the gift box, takes off her clothes, opens the gift and pulls out the nightgown. But the saleslady had left the price-tag on it. “One hundred and fifty dollars?!”, she exclaimed, “I can't believe he wasted so much money!” So she decides she is going to make him return it and steps out of the bathroom, stark naked.

“Well, what do you think?” she asks. He rubs his eyes, then blinks a few times, then says,

“Heck, for a hundred and fifty bucks you'd think they would have at least ironed it!”

Rosie O’Donnell and her driver are cruising down a country road one evening when a cow runs in front of the Mercedes. The driver tries to dodge the livestock, but ends up slamming into it, instantly killing the animal. Eyes brimming with tears, Rosie implores her driver to go to the farmhouse and explain to the owners what had happened.

About an hour later, the driver staggers back to the car in disarray. He’s holding a bottle of champagne in one hand and a cigar in the other. “How did it go?” Rosie asks.
“Well,” the driver says. “The farmer gave me this expensive champagne, and his wife gave me this cigar, and their beautiful daughter made mad, passionate love to me.”
“My God,” Rosie says. “How did that happen?”
“I just walked up to the door and said, ‘I’m Rosie O’Donnell’s driver, and I just killed the cow.’”
