Bad Jokes

Submitted from someone incarcerated in NSW – thank you for the jokes!

Someone complimented me on my driving today. They left a note on my windscreen. It said, “Parking fine.” So that was nice.

I lost my job in a bank on my first day. Someone asked me to check their balance, so I pushed them over.

I really really care about the environment, so I plant a tree for every flight I take. The cabin crew hate it.

I'm so poor I can't even pay attention.

I can't even be bothered to be apathetic these days.

I don't like funerals. I'm not a mourning person.

Two cows were standing together in a field. One said, “Moooo.” The other replied, “I knew you were going to say that.”
