A bear and a rabbit are conscripted into the army, and waiting for their medical checkup. The rabbit says to the bear, “listen, I really don't want to go to war. Can you just kick me in the leg, so that when I go in to see the doctor I've got a limp?” The bear says “sure. But can you do the same for me when you come out? I don't want to fight either.” The rabbit agrees and the bear kicks him in the leg. It's a good kick— the rabbit only just manages to keep himself from falling over or crying out— and when he goes into the doctor's office he is, indeed, noticeably limping. The doc takes one look at him and says “nope, the army can't use you. Not with that leg” and sends him home. When the rabbit comes out, he returns the favour and kicks the bear in the leg. Unfortunately, however, the bear is a bear and the rabbit is a rabbit— the kick doesn't even hurt. The rabbit tries kicking him again, harder. Tries punching him, biting him, even hitting him with one of the waiting room chairs. By the time the bear gets called in for his check up, the rabbit has spent a good ten or fifteen minutes beating him up all over, and the most he's managed to do is give him a light nosebleed. Sadly, the bear thanks him for doing what he could, and heads in to see the doctor. The doc takes one look at him and says “nope, the army can't use you.” The bear, thrilled but surprised says “what? Because I've got a bloody nose?” And the doc says “no. Because that nurse over there says she just saw you get your ass handed to you by a limping rabbit.”

A CIA agent, an MI6 agent, and a KGB agent are walking through a forest.. They end up arguing about which service has the most skilled intelligence officers. As they argue, a little rabbit runs across the path in front of them. This gives them an idea for how they can settle it. They'll catch the rabbit. Then, for each agent, they'll set it free, and see how long it takes him to track it down and bring it back. The American goes first. They set the rabbit free, then wait 5 minutes, then he goes chasing after it. He puts on his heat-sensing goggles, calls in a surveillance drone on his phone, and finds it in no time. He comes back with the rabbit 10 minutes later, and hasn't even broken a sweat. Then the Brit. Without the American's fancy gadgets, he has to use his best tracking skills, and some logic and deduction to guess where the Rabbit might go. Eventually he comes back with it, a bit out of breath and covered in mud, 20 minutes later. Then the Russian. He runs off into the forest. The other agents wait, first 10 minutes, then 20, then an hour. Just as they're about to give up and go home, a bear stumbles out into the forest clearing in front of them. It's not in a good way: bloody and bruised, with a big black eye. Astonished, they watch as it walks up to them, followed by the KGB agent with his rifle. He pokes the bear with it. "Go on. Tell them what you told me." The bear looks up miserably. "I'm a rabbit. My parents were rabbits."

One day an old dog lost his way while chasing rabbits One day an old dog lost his way while chasing rabbits. Soon he noticed a lion in the distance running towards him with a hungry look in his eye.

A squirrel who had been watching from a nearby tree, knew the dog's tricks and decided to trade his knowledge for protection from the lion.

The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road and got out to see what had become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit was dead. The driver felt so awful he began to cry. A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong. "I feel terrible," he explained. "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it." The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to he car trunk and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the limp, dead rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the rabbit.

A man was driving along the highway... ... and saw a rabbit hopping across the middle of the road.

The Pet Rabbit One day I came home to find my dog burying something under the steps of my front porch. Upon closer inspection, it was the neighbor's family pet rabbit. I felt terrible. Since it was only a little covered in dirt and the dog had not torn it up noticeably, I decided to make it as presentable as possible and place it back in the cage on the side of the neighbor's house where they kept the rabbit. I was hoping they would find it and think it was natural causes. It was the next day while replacing the spark plugs on my car that my neighbor walks over to have a chat. I was nervous that he would know about the rabbit. He made some small talk for a few minutes and I started to chill out. But then he says "Did I tell you that the kid's rabbit died?". I attempted to look concerned while saying "Oh, no! Poor kids, I bet they are upset." He says "They were but they got over it pretty quick...until this morning." "What happened?" "That rabbit died last week so we buried him. But then some asshole digs him up, gives him a bath and puts him back the cage!" -- Hope you liked it!

Cool Joke So there is this bear and this rabbit walking together in the woods. They come across this mysterious lamp. Of course they rub it, and a genie comes out.

So the bear goes first, he wishes that all the male bears in his forest are turned into females. The genie grants his wish. The rabbit goes and he says "I guess I want a helmet."

Smartenin' pills This little kid Jimmy was frustrated, because every day as he walked to school with his lunch, the big bully Buster would stop him and ask him what he had for lunch.
