1. Halloween Jokes
   In Britain in particular, the pagan Celts celebrated the Day of the Dead on Halloween. The spirits supposedly rose from the dead and, in order to attract them, food was left on the doors. To scare off the evil spirits, the Celts wore masks. When the Romans invaded the Britain, they embellished the tradition with their own, which is the celebration of the harvest and honoring the dead. These traditions were then passed on to the United States.
2. Blonde Jokes
   Jim and Blonde Mary were both patients in a Mental Hospital. One day, while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank like a stone to the bottom and stayed there. Blonde Mary promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.
3. Blonde Jokes -- Road
   There was a blonde who was tired of all the blonde jokes and decided to dye her hair brown. She then went for a drive in the country and came upon a shepherd herding his sheep across the road.
4. Tommy Cooper -- Jokes
   The comic material of Tommy Cooper was nothing special, what made him one of Britain’s favourite comedians of the time was his intrinsically comic nature. He embodied great innocence and childlike qualities which made his failed jokes particularly funny. Many comedians have commended his ability to bring the house down with the thinnest of materials.
5. Halloween Jokes -- Fun
   Halloween is a special holiday that is celebrated on the very last day of the month of October. This day revolves mostly around children, although some fun-loving adults enjoy joining in on the fun. The word of Halloween originated in the Catholic Church. It is a spin-off of the holiday of All Saints Day... knows as All Hollows Day.
6. Johnny Carson -- Jokes
   The thing about Johnny Carson was, you could barely tell his politics. Sure, from the sounds of it, he was left of center. But what made him so great was, you couldn't tell. His jokes and so forth didn't give off some political spin that today's comics do. And other then this interview, Carson kept to himself and stayed out of the limelight. Unlike some of today's so-called entertainers.
7. Neil Hamburger -- Jokes
   Neil Hamburger is the greatest sad-sack comic out there, delivering his lines as though he's confessing to an inattentive bartender instead of an actual audience. His act ranges from telling really bad jokes about pop stars, political figures, the Unibomber, and Scientologists, to stories about his family life, dealing with divorce (his ex-wife sent him a coupon to receive "deluxe treatment" at the local abattoir), as well as lots of heckling from audience members who are apparently only impressed when Neil Hamburger does his "famous" "Zipper Lips" song and dance routine. It's a very subtle and highly self-deprecating album (as is the bulk of Hamburger's work) but ... very funny in a painful, groaning-because-it's-so-bad sort of way.
8. Chuck Norris -- Jokes
   Chuck Norris owns the greatest Poker Face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 World Series of Poker despite him holding just a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoloy card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game UNO.
9. Craig Ferguson -- Jokes
   Craig Ferguson attends the BAFTA/LA Britannia Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif., in this Nov. 4, 2004 file photo. Less than a week after being sworn in as a U.S. citizen, Craig Ferguson learned he'll be telling jokes to President Bush. The CBS "Late Late Show" host revealed Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2008, that he's been booked as the entertainer at the annual White House correspondents' dinner in Washington, scheduled April 26.
10. Blonde Jokes -- Man
    In response to last week’s all-blonde-jokes column - “The Blonde Ambition Tour” - The Dot anticipated angry letters from all manner of uptight blondes crying foul. In fact, The Dot did not receive any angry messages at all. Perhaps the reason blondes have more fun is because they have a good sense of humor.
