I have been part of a joke-email distribution network for many years, and have tried to organise all of them into one big blogsite full of the good stuff. This is not nearly all of them - posting my full resume of jokes would be a full-time job.
Letter From A Free State Farm Kid, Now Doing Basic Training In The Army
Dear Ma and Pa,
I am well. Hope you are.
Tell my boetie Wouter and my other boetie Koos that being in the Army beats working for Oom Piet by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before maybe all of the places are filled.
I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 am, but am now starting to enjoying sleeping late.
Tell Wouter and Koos all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot and shine some thing. No varke to feed, no cows to milk, no mampoer to mix or braai wood to split. Practically nothing. Manne get to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water.
Breakfast is strong on fruit juice, pap, eggs, bacon, etc, but short on steaks, boerewors, chops, potatoes and other regular food like vetkoek.
But tell my boeties you can always sit between two dorpies that live on coffee. Their food plus yours holds you till noon, when you get fed again.
These city boys can't walk much. We go on "route" marches, which the Sersant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it is not my
place to tell him different. A "route march" is about as far as to our postbox at home. Then the dorpies from the city get sore feet and we all
ride back in trucks. The country is nice, but awful flat.
This next will kill my boeties with laughter. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a dassie's head
and doesn't move at all. And it isn't shooting back at you like those bliksemse Venter boys from the next door plaas. All you have to do is lie
there all rustig like and hit it. You don't even have to make your own cartridges. They come in boxes.
Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with the dorpies from the city. I have to be really careful though,
they break real easy. It's not like fighting with Swart Duiwel, our old bull, at home.
I'm about the best they got in this platoon except for that Groot Jan Jordaan from somewhere in the Noord Transvaal. He joined the same time as
me. But I am only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he is 6'8 and weighs over 300 pounds, dry.
Be sure to tell my boeties to hurry and join before other okes find out about the Army setup and come stampeding in!
Your loving daughter,
Ester

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.
I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter.
'You don't?' I replied.
'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.
'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'
'That's right.'
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(I'm gona try this.....)
TWO
I was checking out at the local Woolworths with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the
cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she
could scan it.
Not finding the bar code she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?'
I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.'
She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left.
She had no clue to what had just happened.

A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.'
FOUR
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked.
She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to
fit this?'
'Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked.
'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and check about the
batteries. It's a long walk...'

Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift.
One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper.
What do I do? Just use copier machine paper, the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank'
copies.
Brunette, by the way!!

A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if sheneeds to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should
be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer.....'
Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!'
I'm speechless....honestly (shoot her please!!!)
Life is tough... it's tougher when you're stupid

There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.
My niggie koop 'n tyd gelede vir haar vyfjarige dogter, Carla, 'n
hamster. Toe die hamster uit sy hok ontsnap, keer hulle omtrent
die huis om voor hulle hom weer kry en in sy hok terugbesorg. 'n
Paar weke later, terwyl Carla by die skool is, ontsnap die hamster
weer. My niggie soek hoog en laag, maar kry nie die gedierte nie.
Sy hoop om die gevoel van verlies minder pynlik vir Carla te maak,
en neem die hok uit haar kamer uit. Toe Carla die middag tuiskom,
klim sy na 'n rukkie in haar ma se skoot. 'Ons het 'n ernstige
probleem,' kondig sy aan. 'Nie net is die hamster weg nie, maar
hierdie keer het hy sy hok saamgeneem.'

Jy leer nie regtig om ernstig te swets nie, totdat jy leer bestuur. Jy
leer nie regtig hoe om ernstig te bid nie, totdat jou kinders leer
bestuur.

Toe ek na die weskus van Amerika trek, was ek omtrent 'n
senuweewrak weens die moontlikheid van aardbewings daar. Maar
Linda, wat daar gebore en getoë is, was nogal blasè oor
aardbewings. Ek is saam met haar in haar motor toe dié effens
begin skud by 'n robot. Sy raak 'n bietjie gespanne tot ek
senuweeagtig uitroep: 'Dis dalk 'n aardbewing!' Toe ontspan sy
merkbaar. 'Ek dag net dalk dis iets fout met my motor,' is haar
kommentaar.

'n Dogtertjie vra haar ouma: 'Hoe oud is Ouma?' Ouma antwoord:

Op hul kampvakansie het 'n gesin die hut se ligte afgehou totdat
hulle binne was om te keer dat allerhande insekte en goggas ook
binnekom. 'n Paar vuurvliegies het egter tog hul pad binnetoe
gevind, waarop die jongste seuntjie sê; 'Dit help nie, want kyk die
muskiete kom met flitse in!'
