- Two thoughts on this:
-
- 1) My father told us "joke" all our lives which made no sense to us. He did
- this over and over until we always answered with the correct response.
-
- Q) Why do pigs whistle?
- A) Because Ice Cream has no bones
-
- 2) Sometime during the early or mid seventies we had a set of jokes we called
- refrigerator jokes. It was more of a set up than a real joke. Several of
- us would get together ahead of time and plan to laugh real hard at an
- the prescribed "punchline" to see if we could make someone else laugh. Then we
- would embarrass the new guy by asking him why he was laughing.
-
- The refrigerator joke I remember went something like this:
-
- There were three elephants in a bathtub, a mama elephant, a daddy elephant, and
- a baby elephant. The mama elephant turned to the daddy elephant and asked,
- "Do you have the bar of soap", the daddy elephant turned to the baby elephant
- and asked, ""Do you have the bar of soap?", and the baby elephant replied,
- "What do you think I am, a refrigerator?" <----Punchline
