I was at a gathering on Saturday night - people that I work with and their spouses. The only child there was about nine years old, and she did a pretty good job of entertaining herself most of the night. By about 11:00, though, she had tired of that and was looking for some socialization from the adults.
I asked her if she knew any jokes. I'm terrible at remembering jokes, but I enjoy them so much. She said she didn't really know any and then proceeded to regale us with non-jokes for at least 45 minutes. Here's an example: Why did the light bulb burn out? Because it doesn't have a brain!
Of course, we would have to guess answers before she would tell us the correct answer, which resulted in some actual jokes. (These responses were never "correct," by the way.)
Why is the skeleton red?
Because he's embarrassed that he's naked.
Why does the elephant walk so slow?
Because he has junk in his trunk.
And my two favorites because I made them up myself . . .
Why do spiders weave webs?
Because they can't knit.
Why do cows wear bells around their necks?
Because their horns don't work.
