An 85-year-old man was requested by his Doctor to have a sperm count as part of his physical exam.

The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow."

The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.

The doctor asked what happened and the man explained:
"Well, doc, it's like this --- first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing.

Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing.
We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too. First with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees but still nothing."

The doctor was shocked and said, "You asked your neighbour?"

The old man replied, "Yep, none of us could get the jar open."

I was reading, thinking this isn't going to be funny, not my type of joke.

But it was ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Makes me miss rufus2! He'd have loved that one.

BlueBelle Sun 12-Feb-23 18:56:53

Yes thatโ€™s a Rufus joke for sure, very dated haha

Sago Sun 12-Feb-23 19:00:01

Not funny and inappropriate

Lucca Sun 12-Feb-23 19:02:05

And completely predictable

Gracesnan Sun 12-Feb-23 19:10:23

Loved it!

Callistemon21 Sun 12-Feb-23 19:38:18

Oh dear, I must be slow ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
I wasn't going to read it at first.

I thought it was funny. Why is it inappropriate, sago. ๐Ÿค”

It made me laugh.

No reply from Sago

I'm glad some people on here have a sense of humour - goodness knows we need to try to see the funny side sometimes, especially at the moment, as so many people are having a difficult time.

Probably explains why so few people put jokes on here - it's perhaps a whole new thread.

Itโ€™s a funny joke I liked it. VB000 a separate joke thread would be good heaven knows we need cheering up. X

They should have used nutcrackers.

Always works for me! ๐Ÿ˜‚

That's a separate joke Merlotgran!

Glad you liked it ShazzaKanazza, yes I think a joke thread would be a good idea!

Ashcombe Tue 14-Feb-23 08:18:49

Weโ€™re both still giggling. Thank you, VB000!
Iโ€™m sorry it hasnโ€™t met with 100% approval but, as ShazzaKanazza says, we need cheering up!

My DH read this and said, โ€œOooh!โ€

I guess I view GN threads differently to others.
I feel itโ€™s in really bad taste to come on to a forum as a new poster and tell such a joke.
I would not tell such a joke to people I had never met before.

JenniferEccles Tue 14-Feb-23 08:40:20

Too predictable.
For a joke to be funny we shouldnโ€™t be able to guess the punchline right from the start should we?

JackyB Tue 14-Feb-23 08:42:23

There have been plenty of joke threads. Not easy to find them, though. Also cartoon threads. I'll see if I can find any.

merlotgran Tue 14-Feb-23 08:44:34

Neither would I, sago but this isnโ€™t real life.
