Meta-Joke #1:

A rabbi, a priest, an Indian, a Chinaman, Bill Gates, a spectacular blonde bombshell, a dog, a parrot, a kangaroo, and a redneck Jew-hater all walk into a bar together.

The bartender looks up in surprise, and says, "What is this, some kinda JOKE?!?"

Meta-Joke #2

An Irishman, a traveling salesman, Al Gore carrying a midget, the Pope, a 3-legged dog, an Islamic terrorist, a hooker, and a light bulb all arrive at the Pearly Gates simultaneously.

St. Peter looks up surprised, and says, "Hey -- you're in the WRONG JOKE!"

Meta-Joke #3

A newlywed couple, a blind man, an Iranian mullah, a chicken, a used car dealer, Judith Regan, a proctologist, and a Hollywood starlet, along with a nun, a man who just received a gorilla brain transplant, two Hassidic Jews, a stuttering hotel clerk, and a can of Spam are riding in a compact car. Suddenly, they hear a siren and a state trooper motions the vehicle to pull over.

"License and registration," says the cop. "You've exceeded the legal character limit in this joke."

Meta-Joke #4

A Russian Spy, a bookie, a Scotsman and his sheep, a transgendered person of color, Karl Rove, the Florida Marlins' batboy, a retired postal worker, and a dead baby approach a house and ring the front bell. A knockout blonde answers the door in a see-through negligee.

"Sorry to bother you, ma'am," they say, "but we were told to meet here for a joke. Are we late?"

Meta-Joke #5

The lifeless corpses of a gas meter reader, a Grateful Deadhead, a stripper with huge breast implants, a talking pig, Siamese twins, Al Franken's high school gym teacher, a gynecologist, a bebop saxophone player, and a fat, bald white man with glasses are delivered to a funeral parlor.

"Hey," exclaimed the undertaker, "I thought this was supposed to be a joke!?!"
