Some jokes in English




If you are really desperate and you want to learn English then it's important to understand the jokes told in English. This is especially useful because jokes form an important part of this language! So, here we have some jokes to have fun and to learn!


Two Balloons (present tense version)

Two balloons are floating across the desert.
One balloon says to the other:
"Look out for the cactussssssssssss!"

God and the man

A man visits God and says "God, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" God says "No, ask me anything at all."
So the man says "God, you've been around for a very long time,so, for you, how long is a thousand years?"
God replies "For me, a thousand years is only five minutes."
The man then says "That's interesting God. And, for you, how much is a million dollars?"
God replies "For me, a million dollars is only five cents."
The man says "Really? Well then God, could you lend me five cents please?"
God looks at the man, smiles, and says "Of course my son. Just wait five minutes!"


What's 3 x 2?

A little boy returned home from school and told his father that hehad failed the maths test.
His father asked him, "Why did you fail?"
The boy replied, "The teacher asked me 'How much is 3 x 2?' and I said'3 x 2 is 6'."
"Well, that's right" said his father.
The little boy continued, "Then she asked me 'How much is 2 x 3?"
"What the hell is the difference?" asked the father.
The son replied, "That's exactly what I said to my teacher and that'swhy I failed the maths test


Doctor

A man goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor, please help me. I hurt all over."
The doctor asked the man to explain more.
The man said, "When I touch my arm it hurts, when I touch my leg it hurts, when I touch my head it hurts. Everywhere I touch it hurts."
The doctor examined the man and said, "Mr Smith, your finger is broken!"


In the classroom

A teacher said, "Mary, I'd like you to give me a sentence beginningwith 'I', please."
Mary thought for a few seconds and then said, "I is..."
The teacher interupted her and said, "No Mary, you cannot begin asentence with 'I is' - you must use 'I am'."
Mary looked upset and said, "But Miss..."
The teacher shouted, "Give me a sentence beginning with 'I am', please."
Mary shrugged her shoulders and said, "I am the ninth letter of the alphabet."
