A koala was sitting in a gum tree smoking a joint when a little lizard walked past, looked up and said, 'Hey Koala! What are you doing?'

The koala said, 'Smoking a joint, come up and have some.'

So the little lizard climbed up and sat next to the koala where they enjoyed a few joints.

After a while the little lizard said that his mouth was dry and that he was going to get a drink from the river.

He was so stoned that he leaned over too far and fell into the river.

A crocodile saw this and swam over to the him and helped him to the side. Then he asked , 'What's the matter with you?'

The little lizard explained to the crocodile that he had been sitting with the koala in the tree, smoking a joint, but got too stoned and fell into the river while taking a drink.

The crocodile said that he had to check this out and walked into the rain forest. He found the tree where the koala was sitting finishing his joint, looked up and said, 'Hey Koala! What are you doing?'

The koala looked down at him and said,

‘Geeeeeez dude...
How much water did you drink!?'

..that's not too bad Wazza, but I like your tag line better!...

good Joke that one! Some year ago, at our annual Christmas Bush poetry break-up in Townsville I go the phrase "I don't know what you've been smoking" in the 'one minute' and I used that joke for my poem - one minutes are not always the best but your joke reminded me of it and here it is!

I Don’t Know What You’ve been Smoking

The furry koala got high on coke but marijuana is what he loved to smoke.
One puff made him feel quite free while quietly lazing in his tree.

This day he sat there stoned as a fool when the animals came to the pool.
Lizard was with wombat and skink all lazed by the pool there to drink.

Koala yelled “Hey Skink come with me, have a joint here in the tree?”
Skink slowly climbed the gnarly gum thinking he’d rather have a rum.

Later on when nature called down the tree together they crawled
Neither saw lizard had gone and how crocodile sat by the pond now.

In the tree they began to climb to smoke some fine weed this time.
But looking down without a smile they saw the overgrown crocodile.

Now thinking it was Lizard there, really gave the two an awful scare.
Koala thought he was worldly wise, knowing the reason for Lizard’s size.

So with glee he called on down, “Hey there Lizard on the ground,
I don’t know what you’ve been smoking but I want some, I’m not joking.”

Crocodile then rammed that tree and he shook those stoned creatures free.
He soon made short work of the two as both went in a rare smoked stew!

Ross a mate sent me a list of forum signatures a long time back. When I get sick of one I trot out the next.

A good one Dot. Goes to show there's no such thing as an original joke.
