Peter has a beloved dachshund. 
 
He's had her for years and loved her very much. She was fixed and vaccinated  
and well looked after. 
 
But one night she unfortunately escaped and after a couple of weeks Peter  
noticed that she was pregnant! 
 
Some time had passed and Peter couldn't believe it, but his beloved dog had  
twin puppies. He decided to write a book about the experience and called it: 
 
"Two Dachshunds in One: A Spayed Oddity"

A blond woman was on the very top diving board of a swimming pool. 
 
She was about to dive in when the attendant came running up, shouting,  
“Don’t dive, there’s no water in that pool!” 
 
“That’s all right!” said the woman. “I can’t swim!”

I told my son to relax, count to ten, and tell me if he had stolen the

I once met a man who had a pet wildebeest. I didn't even know you could have  
one as a pet, but he told me he's had this one for quite a while. 
 
Recently, in fact, he said that he had been trying to train his pet, and he  
wanted to demonstrate his progress. 
 
First the man threw a stick. "Fetch!" he said. But the wildebeest did nothing. 
 
Next, the man said "Roll over!" Still, the wildebeest did not move. 
 
Finally, he shouted "Speak!" but his pet did not make a sound. 
 
Turns out you can't teach an old gnu dog tricks.

I told a joke on a Teams meeting at work today. Nobody laughed.

A bloke goes to a psychiatrist. 
 
He says “Doc I have been having really strange dreams for the last month”.  
 
Doc asks “Ok. What are the dreams?”.  
 
Bloke says “It’s like there is a football World Cup going on. Every night I  
see a football match but with donkeys! It’s driving me crazy! That’s all I  
think about all day”. 
 
Doc smiles, thinks for a while, and says “Ok. Here is a prescription.  
Take 2 pills tonight before sleeping and you won’t have any of those dreams  
any longer.” 
 
Bloke thanks the doctor profusely, gets up and walks to the door.  
 
He pauses, turns around and asks the doc “Doc if it is ok, can I start the  
medicine from tomorrow night?”.  
 
Doc looks puzzled and asks him “Why? Why not tonight?”.  
 
Bloke looks down and whispers “Tonight is the final”.
