On a recent thread titled "Things about Summer that Make me Wish it was Ski Season " mapnut provided us the following joke:
Quote:
A skier, a telemarker and a snowboarder were spending their summer going for a hike in Death Valley. They met before dawn to check and compare their gear.
The skier had a whole keg of beer. "We're going to get really thirsty out there, so we're definitely going to want plenty of beer."
The Telemarker had a flask of wine and a big cheese. ""We're going to get hungry as well as thirsty, so we're going to want plenty of cheese."
The snowboarder had a car door. "We're going to get so hot out there, so we're going to want to roll down the window!"
Naturally, that joke could equally have been told about a brunette, redhead with the punch line directed at the blond.
So here is the challenge: Begin with a standard joke (clean please - this forum is G-Rated) and adopt it to the skiing paradigm.
For example:
A snowboarder was speeding on the highway when a police car pulled him over.
The policeman walks up to the snowboarder and says "Excuse sir, could I please see your driving license and registration."
The snowboarder looks at the policeman angrily and says "I wish you guys would get your act together. Just yesterday you take away my license and then today you expect me to show it to you!"
It is a bright and sunny sunday afternoon as a skier and snowboarder share a chair to the summit. The topic of conversation between them turns to about "tithing".
The skier proudly states that he tithes not only the required 10% of his income but an additional 10% as well. The snowboarder looks at him and says that is indeed very impressive but that he offers all his income unto the Lord not just 10 or 20%. The snowboarder went on to explain that he throws all his money into the air and tells God to keep whatever he wants and to send back all that he doesn't ...
The skier had no futher comment for the rest of the lift ride.

I got on the lift one morning with a guy in his early 60s and we had a nice chat. He looked like a pretty hard-core skier, but I asked, "You want to keep me company for a few runs?"
"Sorry," he said, "I have to catch up with my Dad."
"Wow, your Dad's skiing? How old is he?"
"He's 82. This is him coming down now." I watched an unmistakably elderly skier coming down the liftline making crisp turns and carrying plenty of speed.
"He's amazing. I'll be he's the oldest skier here," I said.
"Nope, Granddad's the oldest skier here. He's 103."
"Holy crap! He's 103 and still skis! Is he somewhere out on the hill?"
"Actually, no, he's sleeping in today. He's on his honeymoon."
"His honeymoon! Why would a man his age want to get married?"

loafasaur, trauma revisited. Thanks to you, I read them all again and, except for one or two, they're even worse than I remembered.
mapnut, the first three times I heard that joke I was in Maine. Even the meter of the punchline is pure Maine. Good stuff. You're revealing your roots.
What do snowboarders use for birth control? Their personalities.
Another version of the vaccum cleaner one.
Whats the difference between a snowboarder and a vaccum cleaner? Nothing they both suck.
At a local ski bar 6 snowboarders ordered a round of beers, raised their glasses and chanted 4 1/2 hours. This went on with each round. Finally the waitress asked what it was all about.
They replied, last night at our ski (ride) house we finished a crossword puzzel in 4 1/2 hours and the box said 5-7 years.
One early evening, a skier takes a crossover trail that passes beneath a park slope. He cans see much, but from uphill he hears a chant of
Thirteen!
Thirteen!
Thirteen!
Curious, the skier stops in the middle of the crossover, and removes his goggles to get a better view up into the park. Just then, someone comes flying off of a jump, pulls a trick, sticks the landing, and then manages to take out the skier.
The first thing the skier notices as he pulls himself out of the snow is a new chant from up the hill.
