I have received this joke just a minute ago, it´s a good one, I hope you can understand.
Red Bank Tape
My daughter called me at work to say I was to phone Ian at my bank. The operator asked me what Ian's last name was and I explained that he hadn't left his surname. When she asked for his department, I said I didn't know. "There are 1500 employees in this building, ma'am," she advised me rather curtly. After a few more brusque comments, I asked her for her name. "Danielle," she said. "And your last name?" I asked. "Sorry," she replied, "we don't give out last names."

I got this joke from my American students about 20 years ago, it is wonderful play on words, when you read and understand this joke with no problems, you may be proud of your English language knowledge. Have fun!!
"DONKEY RACING IN TEXAS"
A preacher wanted to raise money for his church, and being told that there was a fortune in horse racing, decided to purchase one and enter it in the races.
However, at the local auction, the going price for horces was so steep that the preacher ended up buying a donkey. He figured that once he had it, he might as well go ahead and enter it in the races..... the donkey came in third. The next day the daily racing form carried this headline:
"PREACHERS ASS SHOWS"
The preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in another race. This time it won. The form read:
"PREACHERS ASS OUT IN FRONT"
The Bishops were so upset with this kind of publicity that they ordered the preacher not to enter the donkey in another race. The newspaper headline that day read:
"BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHERS ASS"
This was too much for the Bishop, and he ordered the preacher to get rid of the animal. The preacher decided to give it to a nearby convent. The headlines the next day read:
"NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN"
The Bishop fainted. He informed the Nun that she would have to dispose of the donkey, she finally found a farmer who was willing to buy the animal for $10.00. The next day´s headlines stated:
"NUN PEDDLES ASS FOR TEN BUCKS"
They buried the Bishop the next day. The day´s headlines read:
"TOO MUCH ASS RESPONSIBLE FOR BISHOP´S DEATH"
