JokeBJOTD: has to be a repost and a real groaner...membermark merrens14 Nov '12 - 5:01 
A few days before Christmas, a man enters a pet store looking for a unique gift for his wife. The store manager tells him he has just what he's looking for! A beautiful parrot named Chet that sings Christmas carols.
 
He brings the husband over to a colorful but quiet bird.
 
The man agrees that Chet certainly is pretty, but he doesn't seem to be much for singing.
 
The manager tells him to watch as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lighter. The manager then clicks the lighter and holds it under Chet's left foot.
 
Immediately Chet starts singing; "Silent Night, Holy Night."
 
The husband is very impressed with Chet's singing abilities and watches as the manager moves the lighter underneath Chet's right foot.
 
Chet now starts to sing "Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way."
 
The husband says Chet is perfect and that he'll take him.
 
The husband rushes home to his wife and insists upon giving her this wonderful gift immediately. He presents Chet and starts to explain the parrot's special talent. Demonstrating, he holds a lighter under Chet's left foot and the bird sings "Silent Night." He then moves the lighter under the right foot and Chet lets loose a round of "Jingle Bells."
 
The wife is absolutely impressed, and with a mischievous grin asks her husband what happens if he holds the lighter between Chet's legs instead.
 
Curious the husband moves the lighter between the bird's legs, and the bird begins to sing--"Chet's Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire!"

The (half-)real joke:
 
The Nigeria president invited the Indian Prime Minister in Abuja. While in the President's house, the Indian Prime minister was surprised by the luxury and wealth of his host.
He asked him:
- Don't mind me asking, but I am very surprised, how can it be that you are so rich ?
The Nigeria president smiled proudly and asked the Indian Prime minister to come to window and showed him a huge building.
- Can you see that building over there ?
He then pointed his finger to his pocket and said "10% of profit from that building goes right here". The Indian Prime minister nodded.
 
Years passed by and one day the Nigeria President was visiting India and was surprised by how wealthy the Indian Prime minister had become. He asked him:
- I remember, during your last visit you asked me, how come I was so rich, but from what I can see you are even richer than me.
The Indian Prime minister took him to the window and showed him a big lake.
- Can you see the two buildings over there ?
- No, there are no buildings there.

A joke currently making the rounds on Sina Weibo:

Said the government official to his secretary, "What Japanese products do I have on me? Run a check."
 
The secretary reported, "Check complete. Not a single item. Your car is from Germany, your watch is from Switzerland, your clothes are from France, your mobile phone is Apple, your child is in the United States, your property is in Australia, and your bank account is in Hong Kong. And your mistresses -- they're all made in China."

"Great", said the official, "Then let's unite the people and let's all boycott Japanese products!"

JokeThe SchnauzermemberMark H213 Nov '12 - 10:31 
My wife found out that our dog (a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian. The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog could then hear fine.
 
The vet then proceeded to tell Andrea that, if she wanted to keep this from recurring, she should go to the store and get some "Nair" hair remover and rub it in the dog's ears once a month.
 
Andrea went to the store and bought some "Nair" hair remover.
 
At the register, the pharmacist told her, "If you're going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few days."
 
Andrea said, "I'm not using it under my arms."
 
The pharmacist said, "If you're using it on your legs, don't use body lotion for a couple of days."
 
Andrea replied, "I'm not using it on my legs either. If you must know, I'm using it on my Schnauzer."
 
The pharmacist said, "Well, stay off your bicycle for about a week."

The Teacher was asking the kids to explain different punctuation-marks.
 
When she got to Johnny (knowing better) she asked him, "What's the most important puntuation-mark?"
 
Surprisingly, she got what she figured was the correct answer: "A period, Teacher."
 
Smiling, for once having a decent answer from her most troublesome student, she made the mistake of asking, "And WHY do you think a period is the most important one?"
 
Johnny shrugged. "Beats me!" he replied. "But it must be awful important; because when Big Sis said she missed one, Mom had hysterics, Dad fainted, and the man next door shot himself."
