One-liners


⦿ My wife says she wants another baby - I'm so glad because I also really don't like the first one.

⦿ A new study recently found that humans eat more bananas than monkeys. It's true. I can't remember the last time I ate a monkey.

⦿ I just read that in New York, someone gets stabbed every 52 seconds. Poor guy.

⦿ My parents raised me as an only child, which really pissed off my sister.

⦿ I have a stepladder because my real ladder left when I was five.

⦿ I have many jokes about unemployed people – sadly none of them work.

⦿ Don't ever think you're completely useless. You can always be used as a bad example.

⦿ I made a website for orphans. It doesn’t have a home page.

⦿ The other day, my girlfriend asked me to pass her her lipstick but I accidentally passed her a glue stick. She still isn't talking to me.

⦿ The cemetery is so crowded. People are just dying to get in.

⦿ I childproofed my house today. Somehow, they still got in.

⦿ My daughter asked me how stars die. "Usually an overdose," I told her.

⦿ The guy who stole my diary just died. My thoughts are with his family.

⦿ I was shocked when I found out my toaster was not waterproof.

⦿ If you think I would joke about Alzheimer’s, forget it.

⦿ My grief counsellor died. He was so good, I don’t even care.

⦿ My wife is mad that I have no sense of direction. So I packed up my stuff and right.

⦿ I'd like to have kids one day. I don't think I could stand them any longer than that though.

⦿ I've asked so many people what LGBTQ stands for. So far no one has given me a straight answer.

⦿ I was playing chess with my friend and he said, “Let’s make this interesting.” So we stopped playing chess.

⦿ My wife and I have reached the difficult decision that we do not want children. If anybody does, please just send me your contact details and we can drop them off tomorrow.

⦿ I visited my friend at his new house. He told me to make myself at home. So I threw him out. I hate having visitors.

⦿ My wife says making love is even better on holiday. I wish she didn’t tell me via email.

⦿ I went to the restaurant last night, and I asked the waiter how they prepare their chicken. "Nothing special," he explained. "We just tell them they're going to die."

⦿ I got fired from the calendar factory. All I did was take a day off.

⦿ I stayed up all night and tried to figure out where the sun was. Then it dawned on me.

⦿ To the person who stole my copy of Microsoft Office, I will find you. You have my word.

⦿ My wife and I laugh about how competitive we are. But I laugh more.

⦿ My grandfather lost his tongue during The Vietnam War. He never talks about it.

Have you got any others you care to share?

    1. "Slightly above dad jokes" is such a rich compliment coming from you Andrew!
      ​​​​...I travelled to Australia the other week and I was passing through immigration, they said to me "Do you have a criminal record?" I replied "I didn't realise that it was still a requirement to get in here".

  5. I tried tap dancing and fell in the sink. I tried to rock around the clock and fell off the mantlepiece.

  10. My father said, if he had known grandchildren were such fun, he would have had them first.

    Someone told my father that the second million dollars was easier than the first, so he skipped the first one and started on the second. (He never did quite make it.)
