Belgian jokes
Rolf Kissel
If you know any tell them.
The Belgians are known to like chips VERY much...
So, How can you make a Belgian go crazy?
Lock him into a round tower and tell him there are
chips in the corner.
or.. Belgians are said to be quite hmm.. brainless...
So, one day the Belgian king wrote a letter to the Grand-Duke
of Luxemburg, complaining about the bad Belgian jokes in
Luxemburg...
The Grand-Duke who cared a lot for the diplomatic entente
between Belgium and Luxemburg ordered to build a bridge,
just without any reason over dry landscape to give the
Belgians something to laugh about the Luxemburgers too to
improve relationships.
The Belgians laughed and laughed about the stupidity of the
Luxemburgers. But after two years the Belgian king wrote
to the Grand-Duke that now they had laughed enough and the
bridge could be destroyed again.
The Grand-Duke replied that he couldn't do such a terrible
thing and remove the regular meeting place for the 20 Belgian
fishers that met daily on that bridge.
Well, if you know any better jokes, post them please! :-)

A Belgian and a Dutchman in the French Foreign Legion found themselves
sharing a billet somewhere in the Middle East. After a while, they fell
into conversation. The Belgian asked the Dutchman why he had joined the
Legion.
"For the money", the Dutchman replied. The Belgian was outraged by such
base motivation. Haughtily, he replied: "Well, I joined for honour".
"So we both came for something we haven't got", observed the Dutchman.

A Dutch guy says to his Belgian acquaintance:
"I know why you Belgians are so stupid: it's because you drink so much beer !"
To which the Belgian replies:
"And what's YOUR excuse ?"

Amazing to hear this from a British because the above conversation
actually happened between Robert Surcouf, a French corsair (sort of
pirate commissioned by the King of France) and a British officer.
The British officer told Surcouf that Frenchmen fought for money
while the British fought for honour; you already know what Surcouf
answered...
True story!

It was not the King of France, it was Napoleon Ier.
You know about the Well-well's ?
It's a species of birds, which have little legs and huge balls.
So, when they land, they say: "Well, well... well-well..."
Hum-ha!

: Reminds we of the Alawi tribe (or was it the fekawi tribe?). They were a
: race of pygmies, who got their name because they used to get lost in the
: long grass, and then they would jump up and down shouting
: "We're the Alawi! We're the Alawi!".
From the song "The Wild West Show" :-
The Fuckawe Tribe as "Where the Fuckawe!"
The bird was the Ooh-m-goolly Bird.
And then there was the leopard with a spot for every day of the year. A
leap year? Obvious - lift the leopard's tail.
And so on...

- Do you know what this is?
- I have no idea.
- Neither do I. How can we find out?
- Maybe we can taste it and see if we recognize it.
- OK.
One Belgian takes a sample with his finger and tastes it. The other does the same. The first one says:
- You know, I think it is dog poo.
- I think you are right. Let us taste again to be sure.
They taste again.
- Yes you are right. This is dog poo.
- Definitely. I am glad we found out.
- Yes. Good to know. And it is a good thing we did not step in it.
