For our non-US readers, the bogus law firm of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe was dreamed up by the hosts of NPR's Car Talk radio show, Tom and Ray Magliozzi, AKA "Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers."
I heard it first on old Three Stooges shorts.

By the time anyone reads the sign they will likely already be parked. German efficiency needs an upgrade.

Use a bar that sticks out on the driver side. At the end, attach a sign "please leave that much space".

An umbrella, use an umbrella! Those British ones: long with a handle and a metal peak at the end. I have recognized that swinging such an umbrella while crossing a street works perfectly! People fear the possibility of a scratch more than they fear an accident with a pedestrian.

Doesn't that imply the trampoline is on the roof of the bus?

I was in my best physical shape at age one. People would look at me and say : Hey, you look like you're zero!

Yes. So you have to time your bounces right to avoid injury from signboards and traffic lights etc. People who don't time it right find themselves lying by the side of the road, hurt, and tend to self-medicate with whatever's to hand - hence the expression off the wagon.

How many red jerseys does it take to change a lightbulb?

Three! The first dies from the short circuit he causes while trying. The second dies falling off the ladder, and the third does the job. But he wore a blue jersey.

And now a joke to use if you want to insult someone:

Maybe you can continue :Everyone else knew but you. Wonder why.
Probably not included in "How to make friends and influence people".

I read a short story years ago about a redshirt who's noticed what happens to redshirts and flat refuses to leave the ship until he's given a blue shirt. He's so pleased with it that it isn't until the transporter is being activated that he realizes Spock is wearing red and all his mates are in blue...

Babylon 5 straight up made a joke out of it in the TV series itself. The security insignia was a bullseye, and all the security troops wore it prominently on the left breast of their uniform. And the security chief was called Garibaldi - named after Giuseppe Garibaldi, an Italian leader whose volunteers did actually wear red shirts.

Are we sure the 1080p has the correct number of "p"?
Good spot - there are 22 rows of 47 plus the final row, which should be length 46 (since 23×47=1081) but clearly isn't.

Did you hear about the successful band leader who murdered someone? He got the chair, but wouldn't die. Turns out he was a good conductor.
