Whatever it is, weโ€™ve got your back! Here are 6 side-splitting jokes guaranteed to brighten your day and leave you grinning from ear to ear.

1. A Christmas Surprise

An elderly man called his son, his voice trembling with frustration.

โ€œListen, son!โ€ he says. โ€œYour mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of this misery is more than enough.โ€

The son, shocked, yells back through the phone.

โ€œDad, what are you even talking about?โ€

โ€œIโ€™m done with her,โ€ the father continues. โ€œCanโ€™t stand to face another day with her. Iโ€™m tired of talking about this, so call your sister and let her know. Bye.โ€

He hangs up.

Panicked, the son dials his sister furiously.

After hearing the news, the sister snaps.

โ€œLike hell theyโ€™re getting divorced!โ€ she exclaims.

Right on cue, she phones her father and shouts at him.

โ€œYou are not getting divorced! Donโ€™t you do a single thing! Weโ€™re both coming over this weekend to sort this out. Until then, no lawyers, no paperwork, nothing. Got it?โ€

She slams down the phone in a fury.

The old man turns to his wife, a sly grin on his face.

โ€œWell, theyโ€™re both coming for Christmas,โ€ he said. โ€œAnd this time theyโ€™re paying for their own tickets.โ€

2. The Power of Art

A professor, a CEO, and a janitor stumble upon a fairy in the middle of a forest. The fairy, glowing with magic, offers them a deal.

โ€œIโ€™ll give you your heartโ€™s desire folks, but only if you spend a day doing someone elseโ€™s job.โ€

The professor, with a dismissive chuckle, opens his mouth to talk.

โ€œIโ€™ll be an elementary school teacher. How hard could it be to teach six-year-olds to read?โ€

Instantly, the fairy teleports him to a chaotic classroom. Within minutes, the childrenโ€™s endless chatter gets to him, and he throws his hands up in defeat.

Next, the CEO smirks, certain of his choice.

โ€œIโ€™ll be a waiter. Itโ€™s just carrying plates around, right?โ€

The fairy whisks him away to a bustling restaurant. Frustrated by the never-ending stream of demanding customers, he drops his tray and storms out an hour later.

Finally, the janitor has his turn.

โ€œIโ€™ll be an artist,โ€ he says calmly.

โ€œInteresting,โ€ the fairy says as she whisks him away.

Heโ€™s transported to an art studio. Without hesitation, he gathers all the crayons from a classroom and the shattered plates from the school cafeteria, gluing them to a canvas.

The next day, he sells his abstract creation for a million dollars.

The fairy, impressed with his choice, beamed.

โ€œHow did you come up with that?โ€ she asks.

The janitor shrugs.

โ€œWell,โ€ he replies. โ€œI do have a masterโ€™s degree in art.โ€

3. The World Cup Conundrum

A man settles into his seat at the World Cup Final, eagerly awaiting the match. Glancing to his side, he notices an empty seat between him and another fan.

โ€œWho in their right mind would miss the World Cup Final?โ€ he asks out loud.

The other fan sighs and shakes his head.

โ€œThat was my wifeโ€™s seat,โ€ he said. โ€œWe attended the last five World Cup finals together, but sadly, she passed away.โ€

โ€œOh no! Iโ€™m so sorry,โ€ the man says. โ€œBut couldnโ€™t you find another family member to share this with you?โ€

The fan shakes his head glumly.

โ€œNo, brother,โ€ he says. โ€œTheyโ€™re all at the funeral.โ€

4. Be Careful What You Wish For

An angel appears in a dramatic puff of smoke, startling a man walking down the street.

โ€œBecause youโ€™ve led a life of virtue,โ€ the angel said. โ€œIโ€™m here to offer you a gift. You can choose to be the most handsome man in the world, possess infinite wisdom, or have limitless wealth.โ€

The man thinks for a moment and confidently decides.

โ€œIโ€™ll take the wisdom,โ€ he says.

โ€œGranted,โ€ the angel declares, vanishing in another puff of smoke.

As the smoke clears, the man feels a sudden surge of enlightenment and mutters to himself.

โ€œI should have taken the money.โ€

5. The Gorilla Ruse

A zooโ€™s only gorilla dies just before opening hours.

In a panic, the owner realizes they cannot afford a new one immediately and cannot lose their star attraction. Desperate, he offers one of his employees an extra hundred dollars daily to wear a gorilla suit.

โ€œJust until we can afford a replacement.โ€

The employee agrees, and before long, the โ€œgorillaโ€ becomes the biggest hit at the zoo, with crowds coming from miles around to see the performance.

After a while, the novelty starts to wear off. Seeking to revive the excitement, the faux gorilla climbed over its enclosure and swung dramatically from the netting above the lionโ€™s next door.

A huge crowd gathers, gasping in shock and awe. But suddenly, the employee loses his grip and falls right into the lionโ€™s den.

Terrified, he starts yelling.

โ€œHelp! Help!โ€

Just then, a lion pounces on him and whispers fiercely.

โ€œShut up, man, or youโ€™ll get us both fired!โ€

6. The Pet Fish Trick

A man is out on the lake with a bucket full of fish when a wildlife officer approaches him.

โ€œHey there, I see youโ€™ve been fishing today. Can I see your fishing license?โ€ the officer asks.

The man, unfazed, glances at the officer.

โ€œOh, I donโ€™t need a fishing license.โ€

The officer points to the bucket.

โ€œYouโ€™ve got a bucket full of fish right there. You definitely need a license for that.โ€

โ€œNo, no,โ€ the man replies calmly. โ€œYou see, these are my pet fish. I just brought them out for a swim. They love it. When I whistle, they all jump back into the bucket. Theyโ€™re very well-trained, you see.โ€

The officer was intrigued but skeptical, and he pondered this.

โ€œIโ€™ve never heard of such a thing. Show me.โ€

The man dumps the fish back into the lake and waits.

After a few moments, the officer raises his eyebrows.

โ€œWell? Call them back!โ€

โ€œCall who back?โ€ the man asks.

โ€œYour pet fish!โ€ the officer exclaims.

The man grins widely.

โ€œWhat fish, officer?โ€

A Tale of Cans and Cash

When David and Hillary first get married, David tells her, โ€œIโ€™m putting a box under our bed. You must promise never to look inside of it.โ€

For 30 years, Hillary kept her promise and never peeked. However, curiosity got the best of her on the afternoon of their 30th anniversary.

She lifts the lid and peeks inside the box. To her surprise, there are three empty beer cans and $2,500 in cash.

That evening over dinner, Hillary canโ€™t contain her guilt any longer. She confesses, โ€œDavid, Iโ€™m so sorry. For all these years, Iโ€™ve kept my promise and never looked in the box under our bed. But today, the temptation was too much, and I gave in and looked.โ€

โ€œNow I need to know, why do you keep the empty beer cans in the box?โ€

David thinks for a while and finally says, โ€œI suppose, after all those years, you deserve to know the truth.โ€

โ€œWhenever I am unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again.โ€

Hillary is shocked but says, โ€œI am very disappointed and saddened, but I guess after all those years away from home on the road, temptation does happen. And three times isnโ€™t bad considering the number of years weโ€™ve been together.โ€

A little while later, Hillary asks, โ€œSo, why do you have all that money in the box?โ€

David answers, โ€œWellโ€ฆ Whenever the box fills up with empty cans, I take them to the recycling center and redeem them for cash.โ€
