Sample jokes from The Food Lover's Joke Book
http://www.itscooking.com/food_lovers_joke_book.htm
***"My partner and I have a terrific relationship," said one woman to other over lunch, "and we always go out to dinner twice a week. He goes on Mondays and Wednesdays, I go Tuesdays and
Fridays."
***A man ran into a supermarket with a giant carp under his arm. "Do you sell fishcakes?" he said to the manager.
"Of course we do", replied the manager.
The customer breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God", he said, patting the carp, "it's his birthday today."
***A lady was picking through the frozen chickens at the supermarket, but couldn't find one big enough for her family. Somewhat harassed and irritated, she asked the shelf stacker, "do these chickens get any bigger?"
He replied, "No, ma'am, I'm afraid not. They're dead."
***"I'd like two pork chops," said the shopper to the man at the meat counter, "and please make them lean."
"Yes ma'am," said the obliging butcher, standing them on end. "Which way?"
***In a country restaurant the waiter waxed lyrical about the special dish of the day - calf's tongue in a delicious, creamy Madeira wine sauce. One of the guests put her hand up to stop
him in mid-sentence. "Please, you're disgusting me! I wouldn't dream of eating anything that comes from an animal's mouth! I'll just have some eggs."
***One day Dracula was strolling down the street when suddenly 10 tons of tuna sandwiches, cheese rolls, black and green olives, cooked chicken drumsticks, vol-au-vents, pasta salad, pizza
slices and potato chips fell on him from above, and pushed him down to the ground. "Oh no!" he groaned as he gasped for breath, "it's Buffet the Vampire Slayer!"
***Two English tourists were driving through Wales. As they were approaching one particular town, they started arguing about the pronunciation of its name - 11 consonants with no
vowels, in typical Welsh fashion. They argued back and forth as they pulled over and stopped for lunch. When they went up to the counter one of the tourists asked the employee who was
ready to take their order, "could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce the name of where we are ... very slowly?"
The girl stared at her for a moment, then leaned over the counter and said, "Burrr.....gerrrr.....king."
