Double Negatives
An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. "In
English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. However, in some
languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative... But
there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can
express a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah,
right."
One-liners
It’s hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs… because they always take things literally.
Who is this Rorschach guy? … and why does he paint so many pictures of my parents fighting?
Pavlov is sitting at a bar, when all of the sudden the phone rings... Pavlov gasps, "Oh crap, I forgot to feed the dogs."
There are two types of people in this world:… Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
A photon checks into a hotel and the bellhop asks him if he has any luggage... The photon replies, "No, I’m travelling light."
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Walking the Dog
A flight from Melbourne to Brisbane was unexpectedly diverted to Sydney. The flight attendant explained that there would be a short delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, they could re-board in 50 minutes.
Everybody exited the plane except for a blind lady. She remained seated with her seeing-eye dog lying quietly at her feet. The lady flew this route regularly and was recognised by one of the pilots as he left the aircraft.
He asked" "Kathy, we are in Sydney for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?"
"No thanks," she replied, "but maybe Max would like to stretch his legs. Could you take him for a walk please?"
Picture this:
All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they saw the pilot walk off the plane with a seeing-eye dog. The pilot was even wearing dark sunglasses.

And Stay Out!
The wife was screaming at her husband, "Leave! Get out of this house!"
As he was walking out the door she yelled, "And I hope you die a slow and painful death!"
He turned around and replied, "So now you want me to stay?"

Thomas the Tank Engine Derailed
A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her son playing with his new electric train set in the living room.
She heard the train stop and her son saying, "All of you bastards who want off, get off now, 'cos we're in a hurry! And all of you bastards who are getting on, get on now, 'cos we're going down the tracks'.
The horrified mother went in and told her son, "We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for TWO HOURS! When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want you to use nice language."
Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, "All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for travelling with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one."
She hears the boy continue, "For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today."
As the mother began to smile, the child added, "For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat controller in the kitchen."

The note
The wife left a note on the fridge:
It's not working, I can’t take it anymore! Gone to stay at my mother's
I opened the fridge, the light came on and the beer was cold. No idea what she was on about!
