What makes a good joke?
Does a joke need to use a lot of foul language to be funny?
Does a joke need to make fun of some ones nationally?
Does a joke need to make fun of some ones race?
Does a joke need to make fun of some ones religion?
Does a joke need to be political to be funny?
The answer to all of the above is of course NO.
So what makes a joke funny?
A good story with an unexpected punch line is what makes a joke funny.
This is the story of Guido
Guido and his grandson were up on top of a hill over looking his town.
He said to his grandson,See the bridge that crosses the river over there. I designed that bridge but do they call me Guido the engineer?
No.
See the beautiful university campus the grounds and all, I did that. But do they call me Guido the landscaper?
No.
See that track of houses over there, I built them, do they call me Guido the builder.
No
See the Mall over there with the 500 stores; do they call me Guido the Businessman?
No.
See the fountain in the town square, I made that, but do they call me Guido the artist?
NO.
But you fuck one goat.

Yes,
But only if you are wearing Wellington boots (I think that they are called gum boots in the states).
The point is that goats will run away, so what you do is put their hind legs into the boots and then they are stuck.
LOL

Colin,
Just when I thought that they were making fun of the Italians, an English man tells us how it it done...
Well, I never...

Colin,
That is why, when in Scotland, the English will wear kilts. Not to show clan allegience, or district, the way Scots like me do. (Clan Cameron on my Mother's side.) But just because when the English are around, the sound of zippers make the sheep nervous.

I have heard of putting cats in those boots upside down so that you could castrate them without getting clawed half to death...
...does that make me a "cutter" now? NAW! ...don't cut pussies, either...
Say, somebody look that up in the dictionary, please.
Is it PUSSIES, or is it PUSSYS ?
...it comes after gullible...
