Vets have to dispose of their ... droppings, too.
Also would explain the price.

Can confirm, I did 3.5 years in Munich as a postdoc. It is the only time I have been told my face looked green. (Combining a couple of Maßkrug with one of those human centrifuge theme park rides wrecks havoc on your sense of balance …)

When a man says he'd do
anything for a woman
he means he'd stop bullets
and kill dragons,
not clean the basement
and wash dishes.​

My own creation. (Did I post this already?)

There once was a man from Felicity
Who trusted his wife implicitly
But when he told her so
She rebuked him "No longer so!
For now you have spake it explicitly!"

This is actually not a joke, but it just happened that the "escape" button on my keyboard "escaped" the keyboard due to a stronger than usual push upon it.

Took me a couple of beats to get this one:

"I had the strangest dream last night," a man was telling his psychiatrist.

"I saw my mother, but when she turned around to look at me, I noticed that she had your face. You can imagine, I found this very disturbing, and in fact, I woke up immediately, and couldn't get back to sleep. I just lay there in bed waiting for morning to come, and then I got up, drank a Coke, and came right over here for my appointment. I thought you could help me explain the meaning of this strange dream."

The psychiatrist was silent for a full minute before responding: "A Coke? You call that a breakfast?"

My daughter is taking part in an experiment. She has to wear the Seahawks jersey for two weeks to find out how people react to it. She was spat on, beaten and mobbed. I wonder what will happen when she leaves the house.

The lamest part of the joke has to be the grammar.

A contest where the winner is a loser?

ILLOGICAL! CANNOT COMPUTE!

(Computer* explodes in a puff of logic.)

*In case you're not familiar with this new-fangled concept of computer, it's a large box covered with flashing lights, spinning tape spools, paper tape readers and teletypes, and talks like a dalek.

If there are only two contestants in such a contest, who is the winner?
