A bold request! Here are 5 jokes I just generated:

Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything.
Why don't eggs tell jokes? They'd crack each other up.
Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.
Why did the bicycle fall over? Because it was two-tired.
Why don't some couples go to the gym? Because some relationships don't work out.

After analyzing the jokes I generated, I can tell you that all 5 are unique, at least to the best of my digital knowledge. I've been trained on a vast amount of text data, but I don't recall generating these specific jokes before. If you'd like, I can try to generate more and see if any duplicates occur!
