Like 'em, Sir Velo (though there's a nostalgia to the 'iceberg' one, which is as old as the hills! )
A lorry full of tortoises collided with a van
full of terrapins. It was a turtle disaster.
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
An Australian schoolteacher explains to her class that she is a Wallabies fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Wallabies fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand expect one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, "Janie, why didn't you raise your hand?"
"Because I'm not a Wallabies fan," she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not a Wallabies fan, then who are you a fan of?"
"I am an All Blacks fan, and proud of it," Janie replied.
The teacher could not believe her ears. "Janie, why are you an All Blacks fan?"
"Because my mum is an All Blacks fan, and my dad is an All Blacks fan, so I'm an All Blacks fan too!"
"Well," said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, "That is no reason for you to be an All Blacks fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum were a moron and your dad were a moron, what would you be then?"
"Then," Janie smiled, "I'd be a Wallabies fan."
"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."
Lady Bracknell The importance of Being Earnest
Man walks into a very rough pub.
there is a group of huge tough looking types in one corner . He walks over to them, points , and says " You lot are Tossers".
He goes over to another corner where another large scary looking group are drinking. He points at them and says " You lot are arseholes".
One of the second group takes offence, eyeballs the man and says
"Oi: I ain't an Arsehole".
Man says: " Well get over there with the tossers then !!"

not very PC, as pointed out down thread.
I am ashamed.
But I have a little Irish and other celtic blood, so does that help at all?
Two friends enter a bar. One says to the other, "Hey, look; that fellow over there, the one with a little head, looks a bit lonely. What say we join him?" "Sounds a nice idea" replies the friend.
The man with a little head is delighted to accept their company. "Well, you did look a bit lonely", he is told; "has anyone ever asked how you came to have such a little head?" "Well", the man replies, "I was shipwrecked on this island, and all on my own, for several months, see. Then one day, this beautiful mermaid comes out of the sea, and promises me any wish that it is within her powers to grant. But when I mentioned not having had sex for a very long time, she told me that this was an impossible request. So you can guess what I then asked for".

Very non-PC, but love it.
It could equally be told about people from Kilwinning, a town in Ayrshire, whose occupants are said to be intellectually challenged. Eg:
Two Kilwinningites on a night out in Kilmarnock missed the last bus home. Being lawless types, they decided that instead of walking home they would break into the local bus garage and steal a bus. One climbed over the wall while the other kept watch. After 15 minutes had elapsed with no sign of his pal, the man keeping watch shouted over the wall, "Whit's keepin' ye?"
"Ah canny find a bus that says Kilwinning on it", comes the reply.
""Ya eedjit", says his pal. "Take wan that says Irvine on it and we'll walk the rest."
Alternatively:
There's a long delay, sounds of buses' engines being started, buses being moved, and engines being stopped. "The Kilwinning bus was right at the back."

If "smoking-room" jokes are permitted (see S_A above), his tale reminds me of the man who walked into a bar one night accompanied by an emu and a cat. They sat down at a table, and the man went to the bar and bought drinks for all three. In due course, the emu went to the bar and bought a round, and this continued for the evening, man and emu buying alternates rounds. Eventually the man went to the bar and ordered a round. The barman said, "Look what's going on here? You and the emu have been up several times, but the cat hasn't bought a round yet!"
The man answered, "It's a sad story. Last week I met a genie, and he granted me a wish. I asked for a bird with long legs and a tight pussy".
