I'll never forget the last thing my wife said to me when she died last week - "See you in Heaven darling."

Since then I've robbed a bank, murdered my boss and set the local orphanage on fire.

The butcher backed up into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.

Did you hear about the butcher who stuck his finger in the bacon slicer to see what would happen?

She sued him for sexual harrassment!

No, I didn't.

The math professor went crazy with the blackboard. He did a number on it.

I suspect if she was slicing bacon he was lucky she only sued him!

Now, THAT was funnier than the original joke!

This new Thesaurus isn't just terrible, it's also terrible.

I won't explain it, because having to explain jokes is just sad. I'm pretty sure plenty of people did get it.

I would say though, that I've been in situations where somebody tells a joke that I don't get. I normally just laugh politely and move on. It's a kind of good manners thing.

I assume it is a cultural or language thing. Many jokes are a playon words or pronunciation of words. I see you are from the UK... so I know that applies. I don't feel bad that I didn't get it. But, it would be nice if you did explain it.

The bacon slicer was a person slicing bacon, not a machine.

Some elements of the gay lifestyle confuse me. Like I don't know the difference between transsexuals and stransvestites. As I understand it, transsexuals grow down from the ceiling and transvestites grow up from the floor.

Ok, thanks. It makes more sense now. I always pictured a butcher being male.
