I was at my uncle's tonight helping him load a canoe on his trailer for the weekend.

We've been telling the same jokes for years and have gotten to the point where we only need to say the punchline - and we laugh like idiots.

For instance, tonight he mentioned a car wreck at the bottom of the hill from his house. All I said was "wrecked 'im, damn near killed him" and we're back to laughing.

On vacation, he said he might go fishing and I responded "you might, rabbit, you just might" (from Bugs Bunny). The two of us are at the kitchen table repeating that line for 5 minutes and laughing while our wives are wondering what's in the water.

I thought creating a thread with just punchlines might be funny (for me anyway).

So knock yourself out and, if necessary, throw the joke in the message text box.

My mom used to get a huge kick out of a skit with two news anchors, a man and a woman, who would argue with each other about news topics. She had a favorite line from the skit.

One day my mom and I were arguing about something, and I looked at her, and I said…”Momma, you ignorant slut”.

We laughed so, so hard. I still get a chuckle today.

i honestly dont remember the joke, except that the schtick is a mental patient who has to identify parts of the body to get released. sure i could reconstruct it.
but it was family shorthand to point to your head and say 'kidneys' when you've done something stupid.
