“I say, is it permissible to smoke here?” the English visitor asked the New York bus driver.

“No”, answered the driver.

“That’s funny,” said the Englishman, “then where did all these cigarette butts in the aisle come from”?

“Those”, the driver replied, “came from people who didn’t ask questions”.

One hot day a beggar collapsed in the street.  Immediately a crowd gathered and began offering suggestions.

“Give the poor man a drink of whisky”, a little old lady said.

“Give him some air”, said several others.

“Give him a drink of whisky”, said the the old lady.

“Get him to hospital”, still others suggested.

“Give him a drink of whisky”, repeated the old lady.

The battle continued until all at once the victim sat up “Will you all shut up and listen to the old lady?” he shouted!!!

Thanks for joining me!

Let not the title ‘English Jokes’ mislead you.  These Jokes are in English, but not about Englishmen or their customs.  They relate to the English Language, the nuances, its fine shades of meaning, and of course, to ‘Puns’ obviously, your enjoyment of the blog depends on your proficiency in the language, or shall we say, your love for the language?

The Specialty of most of the jokes is their untranslability into other languages as they depend on the subtlety of expression in English.

The compiler lays no claims on tilling a virgin soil.  These jokes are yours, mine and ours! They are culled from a variety of sources.  But the enjoyment is meant for all.  Go Ahead!

But Remember.

We are not always amused… When we laugh, We do not always laugh when we are amused.
