My imperfect grammar and rhetoric often damage the taste of the jokes worded by me, so please improve them and make them interesting.

(1) Smart boy

Boy Ivan brought his donkey, passing by a barrack. Two soldiers saw him and wanted to make fun of him.

One of the soldiers asked him:"Little boy, why are you fastening your ass so tightly?"

Ivan replied:"Just because I fear that it wants to join the army."

I don't know (much) of the slogans from military forces,so the following joke might have used unprofessional words:

(2) Reporting on General

Aide was reporting to general--

Bad news, No.502 jet wrecked...
Good news, the pilot has successfully left the jet...
Bad news, the pilot forgot his parachute in the jet...
Good news, there is a swiming pool on the ground...
Bad news, there is no water in the pool...

(Note, I didn't know how to professionally express the oral expression "Report on general" -- tho I knew Chinese oral expression very well.)

Well I get the joke oristar, but you are right, it could do with a little improvement....

Something like

A boy was pulling a donkey past an army barrack. Two soldiers thought it was funny. One said "Hey little boy, why are you pulling the donkey so hard?"
The boy said "Because I'm afraid he wants to join up".

I'm not in the military myself Very Happy

However perhaps

Sir, some bad news. Flight 502 is destroyed
But the good news is the pilot ejected ok
The bad news is, he left his parachute in the aircraft
But the good news is there is a swimming pool directly beneath
But the bad news is the householder drained it for maintenance yesterday.

:wink:
