old man emu Posted November 24, 2023 Posted November 24, 2023 If you say that there is ambiguity in something, you mean that it is unclear or confusing, or it can be understood in more than one way. Surely, in the context of a thread devoted to witticisms, the idea that something said or written can require one to choose between two alternatives is the very essence of the reason for this thread. While it can be said that brevity is the soul of wit, ambiguity can be wit's heartbeat. 1 1
onetrack Posted November 24, 2023 Posted November 24, 2023 I used to own an ambiguity, but I could never be certain what it was actually used for. 2 1

facthunter Posted November 24, 2023 Posted November 24, 2023 Any multi purpose thing would be an ambiguity. For more clarity have your ambiguities less BIG or eliminated. Nev 2

red750 Posted November 28, 2023 Author Posted November 28, 2023 Three nuns passed every day through a street that led them from Church to a Reformatory. They noticed a parrot that stood at the entrance of a big residential house. Every time they passed in front of that house, the bird would pronounce three sequential colours. One day, they heard, “Yellow, blue, black.” One of the nuns noticed that those colours perfectly matched the colours of their underwear. She mentioned her discovery to the other two nuns, but both were reluctant to believe that could be possible. The next day, they all wore black innerwear and passed in front of the house, and very precisely the parrot spoke, “Black, black, black.” Hearing that the three nuns were astonished. One of the nuns spoke up, “Girls, tomorrow we are going to trick that bird.” After saying that, she recommended that the next day, none of them should be wearing any underwear under their vestments. Respecting their agreement, the next day they wore no innerwaear, and proceeded to pass in front of the parrot’s house. They peeked at the bird. In the beginning, the parrot looked a bit puzzled. He swung back and forth on the cane he was perched on. Then, after a while, the Parrot spoke, “Straight, Straight, Curly!” 1

red750 Posted December 1, 2023 Author Posted December 1, 2023 Another Billy Brownless risque joke. A guy takes his girlfriend a large bunch of flowers. When she opens the door and sees the flowers, she pulls him inside, throws herself on the couch, lifts her skirt and pulls down her panties. She says, "This is for the flowers." He says, "Surely you must have a vase in the house somewhere." 3
