A Mistake
A woman new in town receives some flowers and a card that
reads: "Deepest Sympathy". A short time later, the florist
calls and says she is sorry for having sent the wrong card.
"Oh, it's OK. I understand that mistakes can happen," the
woman says. "But it's not OK," replies the florist. "I sent
your card to a funeral party with the words:'Congratulations
on your new location'".

Good Soup ?
Good Soup :?:
I went to a restaurant in England one day and ordered some soup. When it arrived, it tasted rather strange, so I asked the waiter what kind of soup he had given me. "That's bean soup," the waiter replied, to which I said: " I don't care what it has been - I want to know what it is now."

Here another joke!
When the window cleaner arrived at the Green's house,
he was stopped in his tracks by a snarling, barking dog.
"Don't be afraid of him," said Mrs. Green "You know the old proverb:
'A barking dog never bites'."
"Sure," said the window cleaner. "You know the old proverb. I know the old proverb. But does your dog know the old proverb?".

Stupid?
A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!" After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?" "No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!"

Joke
Hello Ulrike!
I can't understand why there aren't more people in this forum who participate in. It's a great and free opportunity. I think it's admirable that you and the other moderators spend so much time and energy to help people who want to improve their English.
Here's another joke:
Teacher:''Can you say your name backwards,Simon?''
Simon:''No,,Mis''

Fastest Dad
Three boys are discussing how wonderful their fathers are.
The first one says: "My father runs the fastest. he can shoot an arrow and start to run, and I tell you, he gets there before the arrow."
The second one says:"Ha! You think that's fast? My father is a hunter. He can fire his gun and be there before the bullet."
The third one listens to the other two and shakes his head:"You two don't know what fast is. My father's a civil servant. He finishes work at 4.30 and he's home by 3.45."

Wise old Indian
A film crew was on location in the desert. One day, an old Indian told the director it would rain, and sure enough, it rained the next day.
A week later, the Indian said, it would storm, and it stormed the next day.
"This Indian is unbelieveable," said the director. He told his secretary to hire the Indian to predict the weather. However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didn't come back for two weeks.
The director went looking for him, and when he found him, he said:
" I have to film a big scene tomorrow. What is the weather going to be like?" The Indian said:" I don't know. My radio is broken."
