* Once upon a time, in the middle of the ocean, there was the Island of Trid. It seems that most of the Island of Trid was covered by a large mountain. On this mountain lived a Giant. The Giant did not allow Trids on his mountain. If a Trid dared to climb onto the mountain, the Giant would kick them into the ocean. Trids are notoriously bad swimmers and frequently drowned when kicked into the ocean. The Trids were very fruitful and multiplied greatly. Thus the population had grown extremely large. Every square inch of the island, except for the mountain, was crowded with Trids. The Trids spent their days crowded together dreaming of the open space available on the ever visible mountain. Every few days, a Trid would decide he couldn't stand it any longer and would proceed to climb the mountain, and the Giant would kick the Trid into the ocean. The Trids were a very depressed people. One day a traveling Rabbi visited the Island of Trid. Despite their overcrowded conditions, the Trids were extremely generous to this man of God. The Rabbi decided to return the favor and go plead the Trids case to the Giant. "Surely the Giant can be convinced to share some of the mountain with you," the Rabbi explained. The Trids were horrified. "Please don't go, Rabbi", the Trids implored,"The Giant will kick you into the ocean and you will surely drown." The rabbi was stubborn and insisted he talk to the Giant. The Trids sent out every boat they had. They formed a ring around the island, so that they would be able to rescue the Rabbi. The Rabbi started walking towards the mountain, further than any Trid had ever been. Still no sign of the Giant. He walked through the foothills, and there was no sign of the Giant. He started up the slopes of the mountain, further than any Trid had ever been. Still no sign of the Giant. Finally he reached the summit of the mountain. There the Giant was waiting for him. The Rabbi asked, "Tell me Giant, why have you allowed me to climb to the top of the mountain, without kicking me off the moment I started climbing?" And the Giant chuckled saying, [[spoiler:"Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"]]

* A guy wants to impress a girl on his college campus named Amy, and asks his roommate what she likes. He buys everything the roommate says to buy, and gives them all to her on her birthday. She tells him she's flattered, but she's just not interested in him. The guy is confused at what he did wrong, until the roommate pipes up with "Oh, you said ''Amy''? I thought you said ''Katie''!"
** "So, I got her all the wrong stuff?" [[DoubleSubverison "Nah, Amy's just a big ol' lesbo!"]]

* It's business as usual for a bartender, and one day as he is cleaning his bar when an unusual customer walks in. The man is dressed in an expensive suit, has a beautiful supermodel hanging off each arm, and has a limo parked outside. Furthermore, the man has an orange for a head. The customer sits down at the bar and orders everyone a drink. He pays for it from a roll of hundreds and manages to get the attention of every woman in the joint, despite having an orange for a head. The bartender is not a man to pry, but he feels compelled to ask about this man's life. "Excuse me," says the bartender, "I can't help but notice that you're obviously fabulously wealthy and irresistable to women, but you have an orange for a head. How did that happen?" So the man told his story. "A while back, when I was penniless, I was walking along the beach and saw an old lamp, half buried in the sand. I picked it up and gave it a clean, and POOF! out popped a genie. The genie explained that he had been trapped in that lamp for two hundred years, and that he was so grateful to me for freeing him that he would give me three wishes. For my first wish I asked for an unlimited fortune. The genie said 'It is done!' and from then on, whenever I needed money, it was there. For my second wish I asked for the attention of all the most beautiful women in the world. The genie said it was done, and since then I have been able to get any woman I wanted. For my third wish -- and, this is the bit where I kinda fucked up -- I asked for an orange for a head."

* 'Jimmy and the Little Purple Grapes'. Jimmy convinces his mother to let him pack his own lunchbox, and he chooses to take little purple grapes with him. Throughout the rest of the joke, which takes about five minutes (or until the person telling the joke gets bored), every person who hears the phrase "little purple grapes" from Jimmy becomes enraged and gives him an increasingly harsh punishment. At the end of the joke, Jimmy has been beaten up, expelled, disowned, and put in jail because of that one phrase. His cellmate offers to tell him the reason people become so angry if Jimmy will sneak out of jail and get him some cigarettes. This joke is also known by "purple flowers," "purple spaghetti" or "purple passion," but the only real difference is the beginning of the story (Purple passion where Jimmy sneaks out to be with his girlfriend, and he randomly gives his teacher this excuse, or "purple spaghetti" which was an in-joke among his family when his mom got nail polish in spaghetti. The joke follows from there).

* Jokes such as the 'Banana And A Piece Of String' joke do this. In this tale a landlord is plagued by a leprechaun who, each evening prevails upon him to lend the leprechaun a half (then a quarter, then an eighth and so on, this joke can and has gone on for over an hour) of a banana and a piece of string. Each night, an explosion occurs in the room given to the leprechaun, increasing in violence as the quantity of banana decreases, beginning with a mere ruffling of the bedclothes and ending in the complete destruction of the inn. Finally, with his inn utterly destroyed the Landlord begs to know what the leprechaun has done and the leprechaun at last agrees to tell him but only on the condition that the landlord never tells anyone the secret.

*** In some versions, Jimmy is killed by other means, (sheriff or homeless man), and the story goes on from there: Jimmy ends up in Heaven, where St. Peter greets him. Jimmy asks him what the phrase means, and in response St. Peter sends Jimmy to Hell. There, he meets Satan himself. Since there's nothing worse that can happen to him now, he asks Satan what the phrase means. And Satan just laughs and tells him that it's a very long joke with no other purpose than to waste your time."

* A man and woman fall in love, and after several months decide to get married. Nine months to the day after their honeymoon, they have a beautiful baby boy. The boy was very much loved, and when he was two could talk rather well. His father took him aside one day and said, "Son, I think you're a very smart little boy, and I want to get you a present for talking so well. Just name what you want and it's yours!" The little boy looked up at his father with his big blue eyes and said, "Daddy, I want a pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball." Dad thinks this is weird, but he loves his son and goes to several shops before finding a little novelty shop that carries the pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong balls. Of course, the little boy was overjoyed. This ended up becoming a tradition, and for each special occasion and milestone, the boy gets a pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball. He graduates from Kindergarten. Pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball. Does well in a violin solo in fifth grade. Pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball. Gets into National Honor Society. Pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball. When the boy was sixteen, his mother ended up dying of cancer. The dad went into his room and sat down next to him on the bed. "Son, I miss your mother very much...And I know you do too. There isn't anything I can do to bring her back, but if there is anything that will help you feel better, just let me know." The boy nodded gravely and said softly, "Just get me another pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball, please." Of course, he got him one. A few years later, the boy graduated from high school, and of course, his gift from his father was a pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball. He had been accepted into a prestigious university with a full scholarship, and his father was very proud. Sadly, less than a month after graduation, the boy was in a car accident. His father was informed that he wasn't expected to last through the night, so on the way to the hospital, he stopped at the gift shop and got his son one last pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball. The father walked into the ICU and sat down next to his son's prone form, taking his cold hand and placing the pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball in it. They boy looked over at his father and smiled weakly and his father looked at him with tears in his eyes. "Son, I love you so much...Say hello to your mother for me. But before you go, I want you to just do one thing for me. Can you please tell me why you always want pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong balls?" The boy nodded gravely, staring at his father intensely. He took a deep shuddering breath, inhaled, and said, "Well..." And he died.

* A boy is at school when he hears a bad word. He asks numerous people what the word means, all of whom take extreme offense to the word (sometimes it's "strawberry" or "purple passion") and punish him in order (teacher sends him to the principal, principal sends him home, etc.). The boy then dies by being hit by a car. The moral of the story is look both ways before crossing the street.
** This is another variation of the "purple flower" joke mentioned earlier.

And the Giant chuckled saying, [[spoiler:"Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"]]

* There's a joke originating on Website/FourChan about two Chinese twins named Ving and Ling. It's often told as a long, convoluted greentext, but the basic gist is that Ving hates his name and wants to change it to Lee ("like Creator/BruceLee"). He goes with Ling to the town hall and files all the necessary paperwork to change his name, but at the last moment he feels conflicted because he doesn't want to betray his family tradition. For some reason, he has to pay a fee to cancel his request, so Ling pulls out some money to pay for him. But suddenly, their father appears, and he's supportive of his son's decision to change his name to Lee even if it goes against tradition. He embraces his son and whispers to him: [[spoiler:[[Music/{{Journey}} "Don't stop. Be Lee, Ving. Hold on to that fee, Ling."]]]]

* A traveler was headed down a lonely road when it began to rain. Luckily he happened upon a monastery just off the side of the road. He knocked on the door and was greeted by one of the monks. He asked if he could stay the night, to which the monk replied that their order would gladly shelter him, as long as he stayed out of the tower with no doors. As he settled down for the night he suddenly heard an ungodly noise coming from the tower the monk mentioned, a cross between screaming and the wind on aluminum foil. Then suddenly it stopped and he soon fell asleep. He awoke refreshed and asked one of the monks about the sound, but the monk replied that only monks of their monastery may know what is in the tower. He thanked the monks for their hospitality and went on his way. About a year later he returned to the monastery and asked about becoming a monk. The head monk replied that if he would aid the monastery in small ways they would consider him. So for the next five years he helped tend the gardens, clean the windows, and learn of the monks' religion. He even once helped them recover a holy relic to be housed in the monastery. Eventually the head monk told the traveler he was ready to become a monk and initiated him. The monks recited a prayer for such an occasion and provided him with a robe of their brotherhood, and the head monk said it was time to see what was in the tower. The head monk led the new initiate down into the catacombs, deeper and deeper until the head monk found and pressed a loose brick. This opened a secret passage leading to a spiral stair. Up, up they went. Their legs grew tired until the head monk opened a trap door leading to a room surrounded with ivy covered trellises. They were inside the tower now. The head monk opened a door leading to another spiral staircase leading to the room at the very top of the tower. The head monk pulled out a key and unlocked the wooden door, pulling it aside to reveal a rusty iron door. The door clattered as the head monk pulled it open, and behind it was a titanium door. The head monk pressed a six digit PIN on a panel on the door and it slid open. The room was at first too dark to see anything. The head monk flipped a switch and a dim light bulb flickered on. Finally the traveler saw with his own eyes the source of that mysterious sound which he had spent all those years laboring to discover. But unfortunately, we can't write what it is, because not everyone on this website is a monk.

* Ladies and gentlemen, the Depressed Guy Joke. So there's this guy. He's really, really depressed. He's too depressed to even commit suicide. That's how depressed this guy is. Because he's just so very depressed, he lives in his mom's basement and just sits there being depressed. Well, one day, his mother noticed that the circus was in town. She figured she would buy him a ticket to try to cheer him up, because he's just so depressed, it's depressing. She gives him a ticket for seat 53B, and sends him on his way. Because he's so depressed and has nothing better to do, he goes ahead and arrives a couple of hours early, while the circus is still setting up. Everyone else is really busy, so he wanders over to a nearby giraffe and starts talking to it for a few minutes before wandering off elsewhere. When he came back, the giraffe had fallen over dead. Its long neck was flopped over the side of the enclosure, its tongue was hanging out of its mouth, and flies had already gathered around the body. [Note: This part of the joke should ideally continue for as long as the patience of the teller and listener will allow, along with the creativity of the teller.] The circus finally opens, so the guy goes in, finds seat 53B, and sits down. The show soon starts, and there are acrobats, and jugglers, and magicians, and lion tamers, and everything else that makes a circus worth seeing. At the very end, after the other acts have cleared off the stage, this tiny little car drives out. The door opens, and this massive, morbidly obese, practically spherical clown steps out. The clown asks, "Would the person in seat 53B stand up, please?" The depressed guy goes ahead and stands up, because he has nothing better to do. The clown then says, "Well, there's one end of the horse, but where's the other?" This just makes the guy even more depressed. He goes home and doesn't come out of the basement for thirteen years. All that time, he is planning his revenge on this fat clown. Well, thirteen years after he first went, his mother notices that the same circus is back in town. She goes ahead and buys him another ticket for seat 53B, because she figures that the third time's the charm, and there is no third time without a second time. So the depressed guy returns to the circus, just like the last time. The skeleton of the giraffe is still there, as a modern art piece for some reason. There are a bunch of art critics gathered around it, debating its meaning. The depressed guy listens for a while, before going to take his seat. Well, the show goes just like it did thirteen years ago. The list of performers is exactly the same. The depressed guy gets a little less depressed at the anticipation of getting his revenge on that clown. The show goes on, until finally, the same tiny car comes out onto the empty stage. The same gargantuan clown comes out of the car, and asks, "Would the person in seat 53B stand up, please?" The depressed guy stands up, ready to really give it to the clown. Once again, the clown says, "Well, there's one end of the horse, but where's the other?" The depressed guy takes a deep breath, and shouts, [[spoiler: "Screw you, clown!"]]

* There once was a knight dressed in black and white garb, riding a black and white horse. He decided to get married to a princess and therefore approached the king to ask him for his daughter's hand. But before arriving at the castle, the black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, encountered a guardian. The guardian said: "I am the first guardian! Who are you?" The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, said: "I am the black and white knight, riding on my black and white horse!" The guardian asked: "What do you want?" The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, said: "I want to marry the king's daughter!" The guardian said: "You may proceed!" So the black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, rode on. Soon, the black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, encountered another guardian. The guardian said: "I am the second guardian! Who are you?" The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, said: "I am the black and white knight, riding on my black and white horse!" The guardian asked: "What do you want?" The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, said: "I want to marry the king's daughter!" The guardian said: "You may proceed!"

The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, said: "I want to marry the king's daughter!" The guardian said: "You may proceed!" So the black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, rode on. Finally, the black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, reached the castle. The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, was let to the king. The king asked: "Who are you?" The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, said: "I am the black and white knight, riding on my black and white horse!" The king asked: "What do you want?" The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, said: "I want to marry the your daughter!" The king asked: "Do you have a castle of your own?" The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, said: "No." The king said: "You cannot marry my daughter without a castle of your own!" So the black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, left the castle and spent some years amassing the wealth needed for building a castle. Then, he re-approached the king's castle. Again, before arriving at the castle, the black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, encountered a guardian. The guardian said: "I am the first guardian! Who are you?" The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, said: "I am the black and white knight, riding on my black and white horse!" The guardian asked: "What do you want?"

The black and white knight, riding on his black and white horse, said: "Yes!" the king then said: "Get lost, all my daughters are married already."
