The other day the family went out for dinner together and my niece decided to entertain us with jokes, which I thought would be AWESOME!
Unfortunately, her jokes suck.
She's five, she just started school and she needs help, as I am of the opinion that all right-thinking kindergarteners should know at least a few ham-fisted knock-knock jokes. So, I commenced a dinnertime lesson in hilarity....only to discover I actually didn't know any jokes. I tried the old "Orange you glad I didn't say banana?" classic and f-ed it up. I needed help.
This led me to Johnny B. Laughing's Funny Jokes: 125+ Hilarious Jokes. You know you're in good hands with an author with a surname like that! Dude must've been born funny! At least you'd think so, but this book is filled with some real duds...
Q: Which astronaut wears the biggest helmet?
A: The one with the biggest head!
Q: What kind of doctor does a duck visit?
A: A ducktor.
Q: What do you get if you cross a skunk and a wasp?
A: Something that stinks and stings!
In fairness, there are a few good 'uns...
Q: What happened when the owl lost his voice?
A: He didn't give a hoot!
Q: What did the worm say to the other when he was late home?
A: Where in the earth have you been?
Q: Did you hear the joke about the skunk?
A: Never mind, it stinks.
By the time I finished I was inspired to pen one of my own off the top of my head...
Q: What's a monkey's favorite letter?
A: Eeee-Eeee!
