GoNZofreakpower pointed me to the 50 best jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
He picked Stephen Brown’s:
“The Scots invented hypnosis, chloroform and the hypodermic syringe. Wouldn’t it just be easier to talk to a woman?”
And yes that tickled me too. I also had a grin at:
I told the ambulance men the wrong blood type for my ex, so he knows what rejection feels like” – Pippa Evans
“I’m glad they invented emoticons, otherwise I wouldn’t know what my dad was thinking” – Kerry Godliman
One-armed butlers, they can take it but they can’t dish it out” – Tim Vine
“My uncle Cleetus is illiterate and ambidextrous. Which is a double tragedy. He is unable to write, with both hands” – Wilson Dixon
And most of the rest are good too, but copying any more might be plagerism so you’ll have to pop over to the site to read them.

My own favourite one liner, from Emo Phillips:
‘When I die, I want to die like my grandfather, peacefully in my sleep. Not screaming in terror, like the passengers in his car.’
