Well, I don't really know any American jokes, but I do know a Canadian joke.

Many years ago, in the land now known as Canada, a group of fur trappers was sitting around the campfire on a cold winter night, and one of them said, "You know, we should really think of a name for this God-forsaken frozen wasteland."

So, they decided to write down the letters of the alphabet on scraps of paper and pull them out of a had. It went something like this:

"C eh."
"N eh."
"D eh."

Not a joke per se, but I read a french blog recently that referred to the US as "grosland," or "fatland," as though it was a commonly used term. Sounds about right.

Some random googling gave me this one I think is funny (giving people a chance to flame me back for insulting their joke):

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in 0 gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C.

The Russians used a pencil.

The only noteworthy flame for that one is that it's not even close to true.
