I did a search on "muslim jokes." The search result showed 97,000 hits. The first page I visited contained about 25 jokes, none of which I thought was remotely funny. The second page was a lot better but what interested me about the page was that almost every joke was about a muslim either outsmarting someone (usually a catholic, jew or atheist) or muslims being better than others in some way. Their humor seems to show just how preoccupied they are with religion. sharif.org.uk

The Bad Day There's a guy sitting at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half an hour. Soon, a big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand seeing a man crying." "No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I'm late to my office. My boss, in an outrage, fires me. When I leave the building to my car, I found out it was stolen. "The police say they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away. I go home and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home and come to this bar. "And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

...knock me off this platform. Allegedly this is true. One may only hope: An atheist professor at Kent State University told his class he was going to prove that there is no God. He said, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!" Ten minutes went by. He kept taunting God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm still waiting." He got down to the last couple of minutes and a Marine just released from active duty, and newly registered in the class, walked up to the professor, hit him full force in the face, and sent him flying from his platform. The professor struggled up, obviously shaken and yelled, "What's the matter with you? Why did you do that?" The Marine replied, "God was busy; He sent me."

The Tackle Box Jig... A man phones home from his office and tells his wife, "I have a chance of a lifetime to go fishing for a week, but I have to leave right away. So pack my clothes, my fishing equipment, and my blue silk pajamas. I'll be home in about an hour to pick them up." He goes home, grabs everything, and rushes off. He returns a week later and his wife asks if he had a good time. He says, "Oh, yes great! But you forgot to pack my blue pajamas!" His wife smiles and says, "Oh no, I didn't. I put them in your tackle box!"
