Re: Joke I found funny...
During the recent royal wedding, the millions around the world saw that Prince William chose to wear a uniform that included the famous British "red coat."
Many people have asked, "Why did the British wear red coats in battle?"
A long time ago, Britain and France were at war.
During one battle, the French captured a British Colonel.
They took him to their headquarters and the French General began to question him.
Finally, as an afterthought, the French General asked, "Why do you British officers all wear red coats?
Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?"
In his casual, matter-of-fact, way, the officer informed the General that the reason British officers wear red coats is so that if they are wounded, the blood won't show,
and the men they are leading won't panic.
And that’s why, from that day forward, all French Army officers wear brown trousers….
So – now you know .

Re: Joke I found funny...
A man received the following text from his neighbor:
“I am so sorry Bob. I've been riddled with guilt and I have to confess. I have been tapping your wife, day and night when you're not around. In fact, more than you. I'm not getting any at home, but that's no excuse. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won't happen again.”
The man, feeling anguished and betrayed, went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife and killed her.
A few moments later, a second text came in: “Damn autocorrect. I meant ‘wifi’, not ‘wife’.”

A cracker from the internet. Best part is, I think everyone knows someone who would respond in this way!
Ben Cohen decided to go skiing in Switzerland.
As he reached the top of the slope an avalanche started.
He was pushed into a ravine and sat there hoping that someone would find him.
The hotel, knowing he was on the mountain at the time of the avalanche, called the Red Cross who sent out a rescue party to look for him.
After wandering around looking for him for several hours and finding no trace, they started shouting. “Ben Cohen, this is the Red Cross.”
From the ravine he shouted back, “ I already gave through the office.”

Re: Joke I found funny...
After the Emperor (in 'Return of the Jedi') was killed, the victors went off their various ways to celebrate. About a month later Han and Chewbacca met up again, and Han asked Chewwie how his holiday went, and did he like it at the health resort? The response was very loud and violently explosive. "What do you mean, it was torture?" asked Han. As Chewwie replied, Han started to grin, chuckle, and eventually ended up on the floor, convulsed in laughter. Every time he looked up at the Wookies' face, with its' hurt expression, it would set him off again. Eventually, through the gasps for breath and whoops of laughter, he was heard to say "I never would have believed I would hear of a Wookie asking for a 'Sack, Back and Crack'!".

Re: Joke I found funny...
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath…. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis
