Linguistic jokes

Lots of negativity and worse in the world, but here we are in our little eslp cocoon, so let �s enjoy it. Time for a few �play on words � jokes!!!!

Although my students always groan when I make these, they love them really

. Here we go:

Q: Why does a French woman have only one egg for breakfast?

A: Because that �s enough (un oeuf)

Q: What do we call a Spanish lady with only one tooth?

A: Juanita. (One eater) Sorry.

A French cat and a British cat were having a race across the English Channel. The French cat was called un-deux-trois and the British cat was called one-two-three. Which cat won the race?

The one-two-three cat, of course because the un-deux-trois cat sank. Boom boom!

Any more?

Here goes some from Latin American.

Did you hear the El Chavo del 8 won a prize in English? They asked him how to say "nariz" in English and he said "No se"

How do cats greet each other in the Amazon? They say "Jaguar you" (HAG WAR YOU?)

A single man and his friend just married.

The single man "Now what do you miss the most ?"

The new husband "My morning train..."

Brilliant, Esther and maryse.

Well, when I was a child I used to watch the Muppets Show every week and felt incredibly sorry for Fozzie and his feeble jokes.

One that I still remember is : Why does the banana have so many proposers - Answer: Because she �s got a peel!!!

Poor Fozzie!

Great idea cunliffe!

Jokes about German sausage are the wurst.

To err is human, to moo bovine.

When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.

The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine is now fully recovered.

Cheers

I �m a newbie here but I think the idea is excellent so here goes a feeble attempt.

Woman: You would be a great dancer except for two things

And the man asks what two things are those.

Woman: Your feet!
