Dalai Lama joke - Cliff Pope

It's a shame it fell flat, because actually I think it's quite funny.

Perhaps the mistake was was trying to tell it to his holiness himself.

What a poor attempt to make a joke when you have the chance to talk to the Dalai Lama!

>> What a poor attempt to make a joke when you have the chance to talk to the Dalai Lama!

... when you could get utterly plastered together, have an arm-wrestle, sing a few rugby songs and then get down to some serious theological discussion...

Even if he understood the joke I didn't think it was that funny.

Dalai Lama joke - Manatee

For the benefit of those with an internet connection like mine, the Australian interviewer tried a joke on the DL.

DL goes to a pizza parlour.

"What would you like?"

DL: "Can you make me one with everything?"

Very good I thought, but when it was translated for him he didn't get it. But he apparently found the attempts to explain it hilarious.

My penny eventually dropped!
It is very clever word play, but not hugely funny.

I've not seen the clip, so thanks to Manatee for posting the joke in text form.

But I don't get it.

Still none the wiser, but I'm not going to let it ruin my day.

Aren't you off to Greece shortly?

That joke reminds me of the time the barman was cleaning up after closing time.
A ghost appeared at the bar, and asked for a Rum.

The barman replied 'Sorry, I can't serve spirits after hours...'

I've already got my coat on!

>> I can't serve spirits after hours...'

Following day, a pie strolls in and asks for a half of bitter. Barman says "Sorry pal, we don't serve food in here"...

Ah, got it now, thanks.

You'll not be surprised to learn the only thing I know about buddhism is how to spell it.

Where are you flying from?

A not too early start, I hope.

Sorry everyone, I thought you would like it.

It's not as good as the "make sure he is really dead" joke, but involves a similar pun on two totally different meanings of a common expression.

A corker. Nice when you only need the punchline.

Well done, some of the Greek charters are rotten departure times.

At one time, you could pay a bit more to leave at a more relaxed hour.

Don't know if that's still the case.

Wear a football jersey and get something pierced or tattooed before you check in...Alternatively just shave your head and drink lots in the departure lounge. You'll be fine.

Have a good trip !

And sing a few sectarian songs - they're still (just about) legal outside Scotland.

Take plenty of spare change, you'll pick up a couple of cars at Dinky toy prices when the country goes bust.

Could you fetch me back one of those Greek dogs I've been hearing about PU,

About 17 -21 say, and 38-22-36 should suffice, oh, and preferably female.

Dalai Lama joke - Runfer D'Hills

Liverpool is the only airport where I have been addressed as "mate" by the security staff. Not that I took offence, just found it unusual.

Scenario was when waiting to walk through the scanner arch thingy. The security chap beckoned me through by crooking his finger and saying "Come 'ead mate!"

In different circumstances I might have felt he was inviting me to fight.
