Got any good ones?

If asked this question, just tell any joke that is fit for a business speech that you have liked in the past. If you love "corney" jokes, tell the questioner why you like those types of jokes.

I am a George Carlin and Jay Leno fan and I received this question. I just told my interviewer that I liked the way Carlin saw the world and that observational humor was some of my favorite stuff. I also mentioned that I loved Jane Austin's "Emma" too. This left me without having to relate my favorite Carlin jokes which were too off color for an interview but explained the type of humor that I enjoyed honestly. Leno jokes would have been OK in this situation but my interviewer became intrigued by my love of Jane Austin.

Note to NJBMD: we are getting old.

No, it's not age that the factor here. I assure you most people at my U will know who Jay Leno is. George Carlin, maybe not so much, but Jay Leno, definitely. His chin is enormous.

Why are there no Puerto Ricans on Star Trek?

Because they don't work in the future either.

Not really. Most people our age don't know him. I only do because my Dad is a fan...no offense.

Here's one if you need some simple, clean medical humor: was told to me by a surgeon during a bowel repair I was watching.

So a man goes to his doctor and the doctor says, "I have good news and bad news..... Good news is you have 24 hours live."

Man asks, "well then what's the bad news?"

Doctor: "I forgot to tell you yesterday."

Awesome

Three Latvian are brag about sons. “My son is soldier. He have rape as many women as want,” say first Latvian.

“Zo?” second say, “My son is farmer. He have all potato he want!”

Third Latvian wait long time, then say, “My son is die at birth. For him, struggle is over.”

“Wow! You are win us,” say others.

But all are feel sad.

Hilarious. That's the only joke in this thread I hadn't heard before.

I agree that it's totally unacceptable not to know who George Carlin is.

Man. I went to the doctor the other day. All this guy did was suck blood out of my neck. Never go to see Dr. Acula.

Also:

A physics professor and his assistant are working on liberating negatively charged hydroxyl ions, when all of a sudden, the assistant says, "Wait, Professor! What if the salicylic acids do not accept the hydroxyl ions?" And the professor responds, "That's no hydroxyl ion! That's my wife!"
