Okay, so a piece of string goes into a bar...
...and climbs up onto a bar stool. The bartender comes over and the string asks, "Bartender, can I get a drink?". The bartender says, "No, we don't serve drinks to strings!". The bartender then turns around and points to a sign on the wall behind the bar that reads, "No service to strings".

So the piece of string walks outside depressed, and then an idea comes to him--he needs a disguise! Reaching up, he frays up his string on the top end, and then reaching down, frays up his string on the bottom end. To top it all off, he ties a big knot in the middle of himself.

Proud of himself and his great idea, he confidently goes into the bar and climbs back onto the bar stool. The bartender comes over and the string asks, "Bartender, can I get a drink?". The bartender responds, "Say, aren't you that piece of string that came in here a minute ago?"

To which the string responds, "Why, no, I'm a frayed knot".

1. At least it didn't turn into Donald Rumsfeld and the Brazillian year old joke.
Close, but at least not that.

14. Defense Secertary Gates was giving President Obama his daily briefing...

Mr. Gates told the President, "Yesterday 3 Brazillian soldiers were killed in Iraq."

Taken aback by this news, the President was visibly distraught. Now Mr. Gates knew that the President had a heart but didn't expect this news to take him back this badly.

After a moment or two, the President said, "I thought the Iraqi's fired Blackwater already."



Sorry I can't turn this Bush joke into an Obama one that makes any sense.

12. An engineer, doctor, and pastor were golfing
and found themselves waiting for a particularly slow group of golfers.

Engineer: What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!

Doctor: I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!

Pastor: Hey, here comes the greenskeeper. Let's have a word with him. Hi George. Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?

George: Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.

The group was silent for a moment.

Pastor: That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.

Doctor: Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them.

Engineer: Why can't these guys play at night?

13. We spent too many nights telling just the punchline in my house...
My dad traveled a lot and brought home a lot of awful jokes. That was one of the best, and most awful of them.

He loved coming home from out of town and telling my brother and I those jokes. Regardless of how bad they seem today, we laughed our butts off at them at the time.

I still laugh at that one every now and then.
