Silly jokes

And here are some more:

1. Why won’t the elephant use the computer?

Because he’s afraid of the mouse!

2. Why is six afraid of seven?

Because 7 8 9.

3. Why did the computer go to the doctor?

Because it had a virus!

4. Why did the volcano get the best results at school?

Because it was active!

5. What kind of key does not open a lock?

A mon-key!

Example: Harry regularly cheats on his wife but gets away with it. 

Pl ujść płazem

Btw, I really recommend a tv series ‘How to get away with murder’! It’s extremely gripping!

Dumb ways to die…

Set fire to your hair
Poke a stick at a grizzly bear
Eat medicine that’s out of date
Use your private parts as piranha bait

[Refrain:]
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to di-ie-ie
So many dumb ways to die

Get your toast out with a fork
Do your own electrical work
Teach yourself how to fly
Eat a two-week-old un-refrigerated pie

[Refrain]

Invite a psycho-killer inside
Scratch a drug dealer’s brand new ride
Take your helmet off in outer space
Use a clothes dryer as a hiding place

[Refrain]

Keep a rattlesnake as a pet
Sell both your kidneys on the Internet
Eat a tube of superglue
I wonder, what’s this red button do?

[Refrain]

Dress up like a moose during hunting season
Disturb a nest of wasps for no good reason
Stand on the edge of a train station platform
Drive around the boom gates at a level crossing
Run across the tracks between the platforms

They may not rhyme but they’re quite possibly
The dumbest ways to die
The dumbest ways to die
The dumbest ways to di-ie-ie-ie
So many dumb
So many dumb ways to die

Be safe around trains… a message from Metro
