Q: Why couldn't you get any corn during the war?






A: Because all the colonels were in the army!

5 year old nephew to his mom when they drove past a hospital with a helipad: "Mom what is that?"

Mom "a helicopter pad for helicopters to land"

5 year old "what is it for?"

3 year old brother "Oh silly that is how they get the dead people up to heaven"

Here is another true one.

Kid and parents in line for ice cream. Very large lady in front of them (probably my size). Large lady's beeper goes off. The kid yells out "Look out! She's backing up!!!"

Not a joke but we were going past a Cemetery. I remarked that I did not know there was a Cemetery there.

Someone recited it to me in the morning, maybe before school started. I was so eager to learn this new, wonderful song that I kept asking him to repeat it. My memory is of asking him to repeat it for about the tenth time during PE. I think he got tired of reciting it for me because his tone had changed to one of boredom. I bet he never repeated it again.

Tue Apr 16, 2019, 07:58 AM
Apr 2019

A few people are riding in a train compartment with six seats.

A man next to the window has a bunch of bnanas, takes out a banana, peels it, takes out a salt shaker, shakes a layer of salt up and down the banana, opens the window and tosses it out. The others stare, but say nothing.

The man then takes out another banana, peels it, and again, puts salt all up and down the banana, opens the window and tosses the banana out. He does this with every last banana in the bunch.

Finally one of the other passengers can't hold it in any longer, and comments, "you don't like bananas very much, do you?"

The man says, "on the contrary, I love bananas, but not with salt on them, yecch!"

Grass. I lied about the wheels.

My favorite though is when I'm eating with a group of people, and I'll ask, "Did you hear about the cannibal that passed his brother in the woods?" then keep eating as people stare at me waiting me to finish and then one-by-one, they get it and react.

55. My son, who is mildly autistic, has been known to tell this joke:
Wed Apr 17, 2019, 02:48 AM
Apr 2019

What's the most important thing in telling a joke?

"Timing"

Here's the thing. There are two ways to say the punchline. One is to say it over the obvious question some will ask ("I don't know, what's the most" -- "Timing!&quot The other is to wait a long beat, fifteen seconds or more, and then say, "Timing". Run through the two choices in your head, and you'll see why either one is genuinely hilarious.

At different times I've heard him do that joke each way, and it always gets a hearty laugh.

While not a corny joke, and I don't recall precisely the joke itself, my brother used to tell one that had some sort of mild obscenity as the punchline. So one time I was with him and he started telling the joke to a respectable woman that I could not possibly imagine it would be appropriate to tell this joke to. Before I had a stroke, it turned out my brother had a totally clean version of it to tell.

He's an excellent teller of jokes.
