Absolutely. Doubt there are any I've not heard. If you can't laugh at
yourself you are very insecure.

My absolute favorite unfortunately has a physical punchline. The setup line is:
"Show her your nuts".

I believe the protagonists were Stashu and Wadju, with an unnamed beautiful

Heh. I just remembered our high school principal was Stanley Jaroske, and
we always referred to him as "Stashu".
