A man goes into the bakery and says "can you make me a cake shaped like an elephant?" Sure, says the baker, buts that's a special order it will take two days.
Two days later the man comes back. "Is my elephant cake ready?" The baker says "yes, I will bring it right out."
When the man sees the elephant cake he says "that's not what I wanted. Look at those big ears. That's an african elephant. I wanted an indian elephant cake."
The baker says "OK, come back in two days and I will make the indian elephant cake."
Two days later the man returns, and the baker shows him the cake, and he says "perfect, that's just right."
The baker says "so, shall I wrap it up for you then?"
"No," the man says, "I'll eat it here."

And the second cow looked at the first cow and said, "Naw, I'm a duck."

A fellow is sitting in an ice cream parlor when a old, gnarled pirate stumps through the door. The pirate has a peg leg, and a hook for a hand, and an eyepatch.
The fellow says "Hey Old Salt, I'll buy you an ice cream if you spin me a tale of your pirate adventures."
"Aye, matey, ye cut a fine deal" says the pirate. "What'll ye know?"
"Well," says the fellow, "How did you get your peg leg?"
"Arrr!" says the pirate. "'Twas in the South Seas, me fine frigate ship ran aground on a spit of sand, and I was cast into the wine-dark sea. I held fast to a floating barrel of rum for four days and three nights - and before I was rescued, a blasted SHARK got me leg."
"Wow" says the fellow "And how did you get your hooked hand?"
"Well, twas a treasure seeking voyage, and we were six days out of Kingston. A storm was on the horizon, and I was up in the rigging, reefing the topsail. Out of nowhere, a blasted SEAGULL attacks me! I unsheathed me cutlass, and wrapped a rope around me wrist to steady meself as I sliced fruitlessly at the foul bird... The lily-livered gull made another pass at me! I hacked and missed again, and I lost me footing in the rigging. The rope around me wrist was yanked tight.... and when I woke up, I had this here hook. Tis' the terrrrible truth. Yarrr."
"Gosh!" says the fellow. "What about the eye patch?"
"Yarr.. 'twas that same seagull, (mumble) flying above me"
"I don't understand...."
(pause for effect)
"Yarr! "TWAS ME FIRST DAY WITH THE HOOK!"

What do you call cheese that isn't yours?
Nacho cheese!
Where do you find a dog with no legs?
Right where you left him.
Why don't blind people skydive?
It scares the dog.
What's the stupidest animal in the jungle?
A penguin. (Forget this joke if they would think it was a Madagascar reference.)
This story if you want to be the edgy-cool cousin:
A man was going on vacation for a week, so he asked his sister to look after his cat at her house. When the man came back, he called the sister to see when he could pick the cat up again.
"I'm really sorry," said the sister, "but your cat died while you were away."
The man was really upset. "You could have broken the news better! When I called today, you could've said he was on the roof and you couldn't get him down. And then when I called the next day, you could've said he had fallen off the roof and was at the vet's. And then on the day after that, after you've led up to it enough, you could have finally told me he died!"
"You're right," the sister said. "I'm really sorry."
"It's fine," said the man. "So how's the rest of the family? How's Mom?"
The sister hesitated. "Mom's on the roof and I can't get her to come down."

Doo Da and Did Da worked in a mine together. One day the mine collapsed, and Doo Da was killed. Because Doo Da and Did Da were best friends, the boss gave Did Da the difficult job of telling Doo Da's wife about his untimely death.
The whole way to Doo Da's house, Did Da thought and thought about how he was going to tell Doo Da's wife. He was so upset, and wasn't sure what to say. He thought and thought and thought about it for the whole long walk. Finally, he knocked on the door and when Doo Da's wife opened it, Did Da blurted out (energetically, to the tune of Camp Town Ladies):
Guess who died in the mine today?
Doo Da! Doo Da!
