I'll start off with an oldie that still makes me smile:

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patty Whack.

"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a £20,000 loan to take a holiday."

Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.

Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow £20,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

The bank manager looks back at her and says, "It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

(You sang it, didn't you? grin)

Well, I wondered what the Coronavirus had to do with the run on toilet paper, until someone explained: when one person coughs, the rest shit themselves!!

Man walking along a cliff path in Ireland. On the path ahead of him is a leprechaun dancing along; and when he slips and is about to fall to his death, the man grabs him and saves his life.

Out of gratitude the leprechaun tells him he will grant him one wish. The man makes his wish and a small grand piano appears on the cliff path with a leprechaun playing it. The man puts his head in his hands in despair and says: "No, no - I didn't ask for a 12 inch pianist!!" smile

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel on his pants, a peg leg and a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, “Hey, you’ve got a steering wheel on your pants.”

The pirate says, “Arrrr, I know. It’s driving me nuts.”

A Gran tells her friend:

Friend thinks a bit then says
"Whenever did they get time for the housework?"

My friends husband had a nasty fall, landed on the Hoover. He's in hospital waiting for it to be removed.

When I asked my friend how he is, she told me he's picking up.

Man walks into the doctor's; "I have a lettuce leaf sticking out of my anus."

The doctor has a look; "I'm afraid it's only the tip of the iceburg".

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said, 'Jesus knows you're here.'

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more, he shook his head and continued.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard 'Jesus is watching you.'

Startled, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.

'Yes', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he's watching you.'

The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'

'Moses,' said the parrot.

'Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?'

'The kind of people who would name a Rottweiler Jesus" the parrot replied.

A linguistics professor says during a lecture that, "In English, a double negative forms a positive. But in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, in no language in the world can a double positive form a negative." But then a voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

Two pieces of string get thrown out of a bar and banned for being rowdy.
Next time they want a night out they debate this:
'If we go there, the staff will recognise us.'
'Not if we disguise ourselves.'
So, giggling, they tie themselves into knots and frazzle their hair and walk into the bar.
The barman eyes the first piece of string suspiciously.
'Aren't you one of those noisy strings I threw out last week?'
The string looks him in the eye, 'No, I'm a frayed knot.'
