As
if the Lenten season wasn't already funny enough, The Church of England is looking to make it funny on purpose too. They've created a comedy club featuring nothing but clean standups:
The club is part of a wider effort by the Church of England to make Lent, which began on Wednesday, a bit more fun. The Love Life, Live Lent campaign invites people to share clean jokes about what is traditionally a period of abstinence and solemn reflection in the run-up to Easter.
What will the jokes be like? Lucky for you, I was able to get exclusive access to one of the jokes:
A man, his wife, their son and daughter and the family dog walk into a talent-agent's office and say, "Mister, have we got the act for you!"
The agent says, "Let me see it," so the family jumps into action and proceeds to sing Camptown Races in four-part harmony while the dog does backflips.
When they're done, the agent says, "That's wonderful, what do you call yourselves?"
The family strikes a pose and says, "The Amazing Jones Family!"
The agent hires them on the spot and they all have some lemonade.
See, you can go easy on the swears and still be hilarious.
Do you know of any clean jokes that are actually funny? If so, toss them in the comments.

I got this one from Carl Reiner, I think, and it's probably my favourite joke of all time:
An elderly Jewish man is crossing the street when he is hit by a car. When the ambulance arrives, the paramedic puts him on stretcher and asks, "Are you okay? Are you comfortable?"
He replies, "I make a good living."

Two astronauts land on Mars. Their mission: to check whether there
is oxygen on the planet.
"Give me the box of matches" says one.
"Either it burns and there is oxygen, or nothing happens."
He takes the box, and is ready to strike a match when out of the blue, a Martian appears waving all his arms..."No, no, don't!"
The two guys look at each other, worried. Could there be an unknown explosive gas on Mars? But he takes another match....And now, a crowd of hysterical Martians is coming, all waving their arms: "No, no, don't do that!"
"It looks serious. What are they afraid of? But - we're here for Science, to know if man can breathe on Mars".
He strikes a match, which flames up, burns down, and..... nothing happens.
"Why did you want to prevent us from striking a match?"
The leader of the Martians says, "Today is Shabbos!"

e^x is walking along in the forest... x comes up to him.
"Differential operator is coming, run!," x exclaims.
e^x explains to x, "I'm e^x. While the derivative of x is 1, I remain e^x, so buzz off".
"suit yourself", x says, and continues frantically running.
e^x continues to amble along, and x^2 comes up to him. "Differential operator is coming, run, hide!". e^x again explains, "Listen, x^2. You'll get reduced to 2x, but I'll still remain e^x. So buzz off!"
x^2 scurries along, and e^x continues his journey. However, off in the distance, he sees: dy/dt.
