When I was younger I memorized this in three (3) steps to use at zero (0) family gatherings... is it cheating if my stupidest joke is the only one I can recall instantly? :]

Warning: this joke is so ancient, it's sepia-toned.


An engineer and a doctor were arguing about who had the harder job. To prove his might, the engineer decided to open a clinic, betting he'd be a successful doctor:

"If we can cure you, you pay $500; if we can't, we pay you $1,000."

Of course the doctor saw the proverbial button immediately. The guy didn't even have a license! So the doc went straight to the clinic as his first patient.

Doc: "Sir, I have lost my sense of taste."

Engineer: "Nurse, please bring the medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."

Doc: "Blawrgh! This is gasoline!"

Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."

The doctor leaves, fuming. But not to be beaten, he goes back after a few days -- he can still leave with a profit if he plays this right.

Doc: "Sir, I have lost my memory."

Engineer: "Nurse, please bring the medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."

Doc: "What, no! That's gasoline!"

Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."

The doctor leaves pissed. Buuut, doc comes back after a few days


he needs to at least break even, right? So, more determined than before, he brings a cane and says:

Doc: "Sir, I've gone blind."

Engineer: disappointed "Well, unfortunately I don't have any medicine for that. Take this $1,000."

Doc: "But this is $500..."

Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your vision back! That will be $500."

Two muffins are in an oven.

Most of my dumb jokes don't work in English, but here's some that do:

  • A Buddhist goes to the hot dog stall. What does he ask for? "Make me one with everything."
  • You heard about the claustrophobic astronaut? He just wanted some space!
[–] actionjbone 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

After handing the hot dog vendor money, the Buddhist asks for change.

The hot dog vendor replies, "Ah, but change comes from within."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

The Buddhist then pulls a gun out from beneath his robes and points it at the hot dog vendor. The vendor exclaims, 'I thought all Buddhists were peaceful!' The monk then says, 'Every monk carries with him his inner piece.'

I didn’t invent this but I was really proud that I ‘got’ this readers digest joke from the bathroom copy when I was 10? and it’s stuck with me.

Person A is on the elevator and Person B gets on

Person A: “You look like Helen Brown”

Person B: “You don’t look so good in black either”

My dumbest joke is actually a family joke that has built up over the years. Unfortunately it works only in German.

Basically when I was very young I mispronounced a key word in a Christmas carol and hilarity ensued that dogged me to my father's dying day. It developed over the years into this:

Es ist ein Ross entsprungen
Aus einem Stall so alt,
Wie uns die Bauern sungen,
Das Ross entfloh mit G'walt.
Es ist ein kluges Pferdchen
Aus altem Stamm gezeugt,
Das mitten in der Nacht dann
Sich aus dem Staub gezeugt.

Das Ross, das ich nun meine,
War flink und voller Mut,
Es sprang mit einem Male
Hinaus in die kalte Flut.
Mit Hufen, stark und kräftig,
Fand es den Weg hinaus,
Entkam dem Stall ganz leise,
Und rannte schnell nach Haus.

(I apologize to any German speakers for the terrible lyric verse.)
