I don't think there are a lot. I know this one:
A guy is sitting in a bar and watching this other guy down at the end of the bar smoke cigarettes. He lights them in a weird way: First he strikes a match, then he lights the flame on a Zippo, then he uses the Zippo to light his cigarette. This happens over and over again. Finally, unable to contain his curiosity, the guy walks down the bar.
"Hey," he says, "I can't help but notice that you first light a match, then light your Zippo, then light your butt. Are you out of flint?"
"No," the man replies in a thick Polish accent, "I am from Hamtramck."
Bows and apologies ... |

not a joke exactly but I just re-watched this movie again for about the millionth time on sunday night.
"It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit."
If you can't name the movie...you are one sad person. |

I went to an advanced screening of the first Naked Gun movie in Ann Arbor, and the director, Jerry Zucker was there. He stuck around after the screening, answered some audience questions, then some of us hung around and got to ask questions more one-on-one. I asked him about the Detroit references in Airplane and Kentucky Fried movie, his answer was basically "it's funny. When something is funny, you don't mess with it"

Back in the day, this was used for the Red Wings, (Pistons) -
They re-named the Red Wings the Detroit Tampons, they don't have a second string, and are only good for one period.

Detroit Tigers were sold today to Imelda Marcos. She's moving them. The new name is the Manila Folders.

jjaba took his girlfriend to Briggs Stadium. We sat high up in Sec. 24, upper deck, daygame.
He kissed her on the strikes and she kissed him on the balls. It was a lovely day.

What was the difference between Ron Lowe and Bob-Lo?
One had an minimum age requirement and a height restriction. |

A bit risque:
When I was young, I was parked on Belle Isle making out with my girlfriend. She said: kiss my where it stinks.
So I drove her over the Rouge Plant. |

My Uncle Morton Finkelsteinbrenner sold clothes in Broadway Market.
Some guy comes in, steals a coat off the rack. Cops chase him, and Uncle Morton runs yelling, "shoot him in the pants, the coat belongs to me."
jjaba, remembering when Jews had stores downtown. |
