This really hurt me, but it's all worth it for the Panda joke (#316). In fact, you really only need to read the first two sentences for it to be funny. Well, it made me laugh, anyway.

Actually, manhole covers are round so you can't drop them down the manhole on accident, since there's no way you can fit them through.

Wow, I'm analyzing this way too much.

A long time ago, I heard a "dirty" version of the panda joke. I won't repeat it in toto here, but the punchline was, "He handed the prostitute a dictionary and pointed to the definition: 'Panda: a tree-dwelling marsupial of Asian origin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring, who eats bush and leaves.'"

I really liked the Humpty Dumpty one.

Marsupials? I knew about the giant panda raccoon-family-vs.-bear-family debate, but the marsupial panda is a news flash to me.

... while we're overanalyzing, and all :)
