I've tried searching in vain for a site which features those old jokes which everyone over the age of 10 knows, but I can't find one. The sort of gag I'm talking about are of the "what's the difference between blah and pea soup", "doctor doctor I think I'm a pair of curtains" or "what do you call a man with a spade in his head".
Classic old jokes
Have you tried Keith Chegwin's twitter feed?

Oh, a Mozzer fan!
So can anyone offer a few classic old jokes for the sake of nostalgia?
All guaranteed at least 10 years old, having been bottled on CiX for at least that long:
=================================================
Cowboy
A cowboy walked into a barber shop, sat on the barber's chair and said,
"I'll have a shave and a shoe shine." The barber began to lather his face
while a woman with the biggest, firmest, most beautiful breasts that he
had ever seen knelt down and began to shine his shoes.
The cowboy said, "Young lady, you and I should go and spend some time in a
hotel room."
She replied, "I'm married and my husband wouldn't like that.
The cowboy said, "Tell him you're working overtime and I'll pay you the
difference."
She said, "You tell him. He is the one shaving you."
==================================================
Future Transmission
Scientists this week decoded the first confirmed alien transmission from
outer space. Here is the text of the message that they decoded:
"This really works!
Just send 5*10^50 atoms of hydrogen to each of the five star systems
listed below. Then, add your own system to the top of the list, delete
the system at the bottom, and send out copies of this message to 100
other solar systems.
If you follow these instructions, within 0.25 of a galactic rotation you
are guaranteed to receive enough hydrogen in return to power your
civilization until entropy reaches its maximum!"

esus/redneck
The bartender was washing his glasses, when an elderly Irishman came in.
With great difficulty, the Irishman hoisted his bad leg over the bar
stool, pulled himself up painfully, and asked for a sip of Irish
whiskey. The Irishman looked down the bar and said, "Is that Jesus down
there?" The bartender nodded, so the Irishman told him to give Jesus an
Irish whiskey, too.
The next patron to come in was an ailing Italian with a hunched back,
who moved very slow. He shuffled up to the barstool and asked for a
glass of Chianti. He also looked down the bar and asked if that was
Jesus sitting at the end of the bar. The bartender nodded, so the
Italian said to give Him a glass of Chianti, too.
The third patron to enter the bar was a redneck, who swaggered into the
bar and hollered, "Barkeep, set me up a cold one! Hey, is that God's
Boy down there?" The barkeep nodded, so the redneck told him to give
Jesus a cold one, too.
As Jesus got up to leave, he walked over to the Irishman and touched him
and said, "For your kindness, you are healed!" The Irishman felt the
strength come back to his leg, so he got up and danced a jig out the
door.
Jesus touched the Italian and said, "For your kindness, you are
healed!" The Italian felt his back straighten, so he raised his hands
above his head and did a flip out the door.
Jesus walked toward the redneck, but the redneck jumped back and
exclaimed, "Don't touch me! I'm drawing disability!"

Tell the truth
A fellow passed a house with a little red light burning in front, so he
stepped inside. There was nothing in sight, and nothing there but an empty
bare hallway, with 2 doors reading "Over 35" and "Under 35."
He decided to be truthful and entered the door that said "Over 35." He
found himself in another empty hallway, this one with 2 doors that read,
"Over 8 inches" and "Under 8 inches."
Truthful again, he went through the "Under 8 inches" door and found himself
in another empty hall, with 2 more doors reading, "Once a night" and "Over
4 times a night."
Still wanting to be truthful, he entered the door marked "Once a night" and
found himself back out on the street.
The moral of this story is, "Always tell the truth and you'll never get
screwed."

Three women were at the top of a magic slide. The magician said 'shout out your heart's desire as you slide down and you will land in it at the bottom.'
The brunette went first. She shouted 'gold,' and landed in a pile of gold.
The redhead went next, shouting 'diamonds,' and landed in a heap of diamonds.
Then it was the blonde's turn. As she went down the slide she shouted 'weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.'
