First of all - congrats! Felicitations on your part for finally admitting to yourself that you are, in fact, an adult, and things like funny text jokes for adults are your thang now. Sure, at first glance, these text jokes might seem the same as the ones you’ve seen before, but these have adult added in the description. This might not mean that they’re more serious in any way, but it also might. They might seem even less funny to some, but those might not have reached their peak adultness at the time of reading. In any case, you be the judge and tell us what you think about our collection of funny short jokes for adults to text once you finish reading them. 

Why are we accentuating the adult part here? Well, for starters, we know that you’re still one of those rara avises who still sends text messages. What’s up with the youngsters and their FaceTimes and voice messages anyway? Isn’t texting supposed to be at least in part anonymous? Pffft, either they are getting it all wrong, or we are starting to be a bit outdated. Definitely not the latter, though. Also, if you’re sending a voice message, it leaves no room for some good ole fun like inserting these text jokes. Without them, a message is just meh. And if you agree with us, continue reading until you finally reach the funny text jokes that lie just a bit further down.

Still here? Well then, thanks for reading! However, once you do find your way to the funny text jokes, be sure to give the best jokes your vote. This way, they’ll find their way to the top of this list! After that is all well and done, share these funny text messages with your friends. Or just, like, you know, send them via messenger.
