Overheard at the suicide cult party:
"This poison filling is yummy. What is it?"
"Gravy."

Edit: Oh we're on a new topic. Have you heard the one about the animals who started a band? It was a tuna and a bass.

(Again, I miss the Swedish. Our word for "shellfish" is "skaldjur" which could mean both "scale-animal" and "skald-animal".

And then there was the guy who played the horses. His favorite was the Camptown races.*

I can't think of any more but let me relate a funny story about some animals. Once upon a time there was an anthill that was bothered by an elephant. Every day, the elephant would come and stand next to the ants' home and stomp on the ground, causing relatively great earthquakes. Rebuilding their city for the fiftieth time, the ants decided they were going to have to kill the elephant.

So they all climbed into the trees and laid in ambush, and when the elephant came they lunged on his back and started whacking away. With one shrug of his neck, the elephant shrugged off all the ants, but one. That last ant desperately held on to a hair on the elephant's back, and the ant city looked up on her with desperate prayer in their eyes. She felt all their hopes and dreams resting on her back, and it seemed heavier even than the elephant.

Then, as one, the ant colony started chanting, loud enough for the elephant to hear, and this is what they said:

"Choke him, Amy! Choke him!"**

The end.

*Damn that's clever. Not as funny as taekwondsleydale though.
** Little known fact, all the ants in an ant colony are female except the rare specimen whose only purpose is to impregnate the queen.
