A backwards poet writes inverse.

The possum is a potential perpetrator; he did place possum poo in the plum pot.

Okay, so this guy is sick and tired. His car has had the radio stolen three times this month, and he can no longer afford to replace it. But, knowing that a thief may not look to see if the radio is there before breaking into the car, he leaves a note that says 'This car does not have a radio.' in the window. The next morning, he finds his car has been stolen. The only thing left is the note he left. On the back, the thief has left him a note. 'Don't worry, I'll put one in.'

Also, some jokes for Francophones (with translations for Anglophones):

Deux belges regardent un match de foot. L'un est pour Bruxelles. L'autre est pour Psg. Alors celui qui est pour Bruxelles dit à l'autre: "traître tu es pour la France". puis le traître répond: "Peut-être mais moi je défends une équipe qui a des chances de gagner au moins'


(Note: not a literal translation.) Two Texans are watching a football game. One is cheering for the Cowboys, the other for the Patriots. The first says to the other, "You know, you're a traitor to Texas." The second one says, "At least my team has a chance of winning."


3 loups, un Allemand, un Français et un Belge se prennent chacun une patte dans un piège à loups.

Le loup allemand : - Comment on va faire ?

Le loup français : - J'ai une idée : on se mange chacun une patte, comme ça on est libre !

Le loup français et le loup allemand sortent du piège. Ils font quelques pas puis se rendent compte que le belge n'est pas avec eux. Ils retournent alors sur leurs pas et retrouvent le belge encore coincés dans le piège qui leur dit : 

- Hey les gars, comment vous avez fait ? Je me suis déjà mangé 3 pattes et je suis toujours pas sorti !


An American wolf, a German wolf, and a Russian* wolf are walking together in the woods when all three step into wolf traps.

The American wolf says, "Oh no, what should we do?"

The German wolf says, "I have an idea! We can eat our leg and free ourselves."

The American and German wolves eventually escape the traps, and turn to go when they realize the Russian wolf is still not with them. They turn back to find the Russian wolf, who says, "How did you guys do that? I've eaten three legs and I'm still not free!"

Qui a inventé les sous-marins ?

Les belges en essayant de construire un bateau.


Who invented submarines?

A Pole* trying to build a boat
