This joke is from the opening paragraph of Stephen Hawkings book,
A Brief History of Time.

A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a
public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around
the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast
collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a
little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: What you have
told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the
back of a giant tortoise.

The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, What is the
tortoise standing on?

Youre very clever, young man, very clever, said the old lady.
But its turtles all the way down!

A blonde, a brunette, a redhead, a vicar, a priest, a rabbi, two giraffes and a duck, a farmer, a lawyer, an accountant, a Mexican, an Indian, a Chinese man, an Irishman, an Englishman, an American, and a Scotsman walked into a bar.

The barman said, Hey, what kind of joke is this?

Ever walk into a room and forget what you came in for?

Well, thats probably how dogs spend most of their lives…

How do you make a blonde laugh on Sunday? Tell her a joke on Thursday!

A preacher wanted to raise money for his church,
and being told there was a fortune in horse
racing, he decided to purchase a horse and enter
it in the races. However, at the local auction,
the going price for horses was so high that the
preacher settled on a donkey instead. The preacher
figured, since he bought the animal, he might as
well race it. To his great surprise, the donkey
did quite well and came in third place. The next
day, the racing sheets carried this headline: Preacher Shows AssThe preacher was so pleased with the donkey that
he entered it in the races again, and this time
the animal won first place. The paper said: Preachers Ass Out In FrontThe Bishop was so upset with this kind of
publicity that he ordered the preacher not to
enter the donkey in any more races. The newspaper
printed this headline: Bishop Scratches Preachers AssThis was too much for the Bishop and he ordered
the preacher to get rid of the donkey. The
preacher decided to give the animal to a nun in a
local convent. The next day, the headlines read: Nun Has Best Ass In TownThe Bishop fainted. When he came around, he
informed the nun that she would have to dispose of
the donkey. The nun searched, finally finding a
farmer willing to buy the animal for ten dollars.
The paper stated: Nun Peddles Ass for Ten Bucks!They buried the Bishop the next day.

Tratando de escapar de la policía, un ladrón entra a un centro comercial. El capitán ordena a los uniformados:

Quiero que me cubran todas las salidas. ¡No quiero que se escape!

Los guardianes del orden cubren todas las salidas del centro comercial; sin embargo, el ratero escapa.

¡Mi capitán, el ladrón se nos escapó!

¡¿Qué no les dije que cubrieran todas la salidas?!, responde furioso el jefe.

Es que el muy vivo se escapó por la entrada.
