Thanks for your jokes. It'd be great if other readers wrote some here too ! But they seem to be rather shy...
I must admit the third joke reminds slightly mysterious to me. Is there a link with the mischief or the mistletoe? or any other reference...
English is a strange language.
There is no egg in the eggplant,
no ham in the hamburger and neither pine or apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England, French fries were not
invented in France.
We sometimes take English for granted. But if we examine its paradoxes
we find that quicksand takes you down slowly, boxing rings are square and
a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing. If the plural of tooth
is teeth, shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth.
If the teacher taught, why didn't the preacher praught ?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what the heck does a humanitarian
eat!?
Why do people recite at a play, yet play at a recital? Park on
driveways and drive on parkways.
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language where a house
can burn up as it burns down and in which you fill in a form by filling it
out.
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
creativity of the human race (which of course isn't a race at all).
That is why when the stars are out they are visible, but when the lights
are out they are invisible. And why it is that when I wind up my watch it
starts but when I wind up this story it ends?

Here are three jokes, I'm not sure they're funny though!!!
1) -What did Adam say on the day before Christmas?
-It's Christmas, Eve !
2) -What do monkeys sing at Christmas?
-Jungle bells, jungle bells.
3) Man: Do you have a pink car for my daughter?
Assistant: Sorry, Sir, we're all sold out. It seems everyone in the country has bought a pink car this week.
Man: You realise what this means?
Assistant: Yes, sir. We're slowly turning into a pink car-nation.
