Dave has been doing accounting lately. Lots and LOTS of accounting. As a result he finds other ways to stimulate his brain. Lately, this has been through making up his own jokes. Yes, almost every night as I fall into bed I get a day’s worth of (what I’m sure would be laffy taffy reject) jokes.
Dave: Where does the lion live?
Me: Where?
Dave: On “Mane” Street! :)
Sometimes we’ll be in conversation about grocery shopping, or what we’re going to do this weekend, who gets the car etc. and out of the blue, conversation will be interrupted with-
“Why did the porcupine cross the road?”
What? Oh no. Not again…
Sometimes they’re longer than a simple knock-knock or chicken crossing the road. They’re elaborate and dramatic and make me wonder how much time he spent at work figuring them out?I’m trying to find another outlet for him, but in the meantime, enjoy this one that he made up the other night and sympathize with me.
“So there were these two apples in an airplane and they were going sky diving. The instructor apple turned to the novice apple and shouted over the noise ‘Are you ready?!’, the beginner apple nervously stammered, ‘sure!’. The instructing apple gave him the thumbs up and jumped. The remaining apple took a big gulp of fresh air, closed his eyes, and followed. After exhilarating minutes of free falling the instructor signaled the beginning apple to pull his chute. He did and the chute opened. The Instructor tried to pull his own chute and it failed. He tried to pull the back up chute and it also failed! The instructor apple plummeted toward the ground at an alarming speed. He hit the pavement with a SPLAT! Terrified, the beginner apple softly sailed to safety and then ran to what he though would be the remains of his instructor. When he arrived at his instructor’s side, the instructor (not dead) asked, “So how was it?”, the beginner apple marveled and said, ‘Woah! You’re “hard core!” ’
