A math (major) joke I made up hangover last Saturday:

--

Polish airline decided to buy new airplanes, and invited big aircraft manufacturer to come over and present their planes. As the contract was big, the they bought up their best and newest planes, most beautiful salespersons and best possible catering.

The airline people came, toured the planes, listened to sales pitches, ate, drank and left. The event seemed like a success for the manufacturer.

However, one sales executive checked the catering afterwards:, all beer and vodka was gone, as were most of the food, but there was a lot of pies left over.

- "Was there something wrong with the food?" - asked the executive.
- "Nah, that is just a normal residue" - answered the catering staff. "After touring the complex plane a simple pole will only eye two pies."

A scientist had been working for a long time to discover a way to live forever. Rather than experiment on humans, however, he tested his formulas on a pair of dolphins, which he kept in the pool behind his house.

One day he finally had a breakthrough: he realized the missing ingredient was a hormone found only in the bodies of sea birds. Grabbing a cage, he rushed off to the beach to capture some.

While he was out, a lion escaped its pen in a nearby zoo. However, it was an elderly, toothless beast, and it only wandered a short distance before settling down on the scientist's front porch to nap in the sun. When the scientist returned with his birds, he was so excited that he barely noticed the lion. He just jumped over it and rushed into his lab. But before he could get started, the FBI broke in and arrested him.

The charge: transporting gulls across a staid lion for immortal porpoises.

Two murderers have escaped from prison so police set road blocks on a perimeter. At one of them police men stop two Italians in a car. The Italians ask why they stopped them, the police man says we're looking for two murderers.

The Italians look at each other, then back at the police man and say : ok, we'll do it.

I wonder why I've never heard an English "whole-word-spoonerism" joke. Like this one in Danish:

Hvad er forskellen på en færge og en boksehandske? (What is the difference between a ferry and a boxing glove?)

En færge tuder i havnen, men en boksehandske havner i tuden (A ferry honks at the landing, but a boxing glove lands on your honker)

Wow I actually managed to translate that while keeping the pun (though the English does sound a bit more awkward to me than the Danish version).

I think by "whole word" they mean the words stay the same as opposed to the usually English versions where they get jumbled up.

Hm. There was a joke in Asterix, I think in The Chieftain's Shield, where they turn up at a hot springs medical place, and ask one of the workers there where the head doctor is, and the worker tells them, and finishes with "tell him your condition, whatever springs to mind. I've got to mind the springs".

I'm reminded of Norm MacDonald trying to work towards jokes where the punchline is as close as possible to the setup. One example:

"Christie Brinkley has announced she is divorcing Billy Joel. She said she knew the marriage was over when she realized, 'She is Christie Brinkley, and he is Billy Joel.'"
