Recently, my brother and I engaged in an instant messaging battle of Michael Jackson jokes. Naturally, this involved a lot of Web searching, during which I discovered that while there are lots of pages featuring 'canonical' Michael joke lists, many of these are poorly formatted, riddled with typos, repetitious, and out-of-date. So I thought I'd have a go. I've deliberately skipped jokes that refer to esoteric events, which only make sense to US readers, or which simply aren't funny. The list is currently split into two categories: general Michael jokes and jokes about his brief marriage to Lisa-Marie Presley. I've given up on work on the dominant category -- jokes about Wacko relating to his "fondness" for small children -- because it's just too much effort.

A confused nine year old boy goes up to his mother and asks: "Is God male or female?"
After thinking for a moment, his mother responds: "Well, God is both male and female."
This confuses the little boy, so he asks: "Is God black or white?"
"Well, God is both black and white."
This further confuses the boy so he asks: "Is God gay or straight?"
