Good thread, Michael!
A penguin goes into a pub and says to the barman "Has my brother been in?"
"Dunno", say the barman, "What does he look like?" :lol:
My kids are into telling me jokes at the moment, unfortunately none of them are even vaguely funny, they go along the lines of something like, why did sonic cross the road? and I have to say I don't know why did sonic cross the road?............. and then I'm told... because he's blue!
Or, Why did the silver sonic cross the road? ... because he didn't want to get wet.
And on and on : )
They are going to grow up thinking a very dry sardonic sort of laugh is an indication of appreciation of a great joke.
ha ha!
On reflection though, maybe my kids are just really out there and zen, on the edge, like the next Vic and Bob or something, I never understood them either.
.... But then maybe not.
Later : )
Hi bubblegum! Your post really made me laugh! I used to tell the exact same jokes, except of course it was why did the chicken cross the road..... my favourite one was....wait for it.....because he WANTED to :lol: ha ha ha ha :lol: I used to fall about with that one!!
I am the youngest in our family, I have two older brothers and whenever I used to tell my jokes they used to groan and tell me shut up and stop being sooo immature. I remember telling my jokes at the dinner table, probably because everyone else's conversation seemed really booooring! My parents were never very impressed with these jokes either!
So I hope that when your children tell the sonic jokes, you fall about as if they are the funniest thing you have ever heard, so that they see that you recognise their comedy genius and appreciate it as much as they do!!!
Good Luck, it could go on for years!! :lol:
Here's a joke I used to tell (many times) to my then Belgian girlfriend while living with her in Ghent..
Why did the Belgian cross the road?
... because there was bugger all else to do in Belgium!
At the time I thought I was being rather funny, towards the end she did not.. : )

My daughter is the house comedienne, that's how she diverts unwanted attention or tries to attract attention, through being funny. Sometimes it's very hard to tell her off because she is making me laugh despite : )
:lol: :lol:
My favourites for the children though are:
What do you call a deer with no eyes?.....No idea!!
What do you call a dinosaur with no eyes?.......Doyouthinkhesawus!!
What do you call a fish with no eyes?..........Fshhhhh!
Well :oops: ....groan.... :oops: my daughter used to love them!!
hahaha!! Excellent...
But you need to explain the termite one to me... Sorry.... :roll:
