Does anyone know any jokes in Chinese that you could use to impress friends and/or get a few laughs? I've only learned a couple. Here they are:

 

问题:什么动物能够贴在墙上?

答案:海豹。(海报)

 

问题:包子最怕什么?

答案:豆子,因为豆沙包。(豆杀包)

 

问题:花的妈妈是谁?

答案:米,因为花生米。(In 东北, 花生米 is the edible bit in a peanut)

I find these are really good ice-breakers, and especially good for getting people to stop asking you the same mundane questions in Mandarin (e.g. 你多大了?你是哪里的?你喜欢中国菜吗?).

Sorry, the last question should be 米的妈妈是谁。 And then the answer is 花,因为花生米。 Totally messed that one up. Sorry!
