* On ''The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'', a logician complains about various logical errors in the film, following multiple tangents to a rant about his wife's affair with the milkman.
* Let us not forget the joke about the theoretical invention of a chip inserted in the brains of all men that allow them to feel the pain of childbirth. {{spoiler|It ends with a dead milkman.}}
* Old joke: The man who owns the town drug store notices that the milkman is buying condoms from him every day. Confused, he orders his stockboy to follow him to see what he's up to. The stockboy comes back howling with laughter.

* Comedian Gary Gulman has a routine where he complains about how [[Never Heard That One Before|every time]] someone finds out that he's the only tall guy in his family, they say, "How tall is the milkman?"—to which he points out that milkmen don't even exist in most places any more, and lists other defunct professionals his mother might have had an affair with, such as the the chimney sweep and the town crier.

* Another joke—a man hears his daughter says her prayers "Bless Mommy, bless Daddy and goodbye Grandma." The next day, Grandma dies. Another day she includes "Goodbye Grandpa" and sure enough, he dies too. Then one day she says "Goodbye Daddy," and the next day the man goes to work terrified, being super-cautious all day. He gets home fine and his wife says "You wouldn't believe the day I had--the milkman dropped dead right on our doorstep!" (Alternatively, the body could still be there when the man arrives.)
