Joke Masters

Have you ever heard a joke that makes such little sense that it is actually funny? That's about all we hear around here. The boys have just discovered joke-telling and constantly exchange jokes with each other and us. Here are some samples:

"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
"Because he was trying to get on the pirate's head."

"Why did the chicken walk the plank?"
"Because he was trying to get on the roof's head."

The common themes in all of our jokes are pirates and chickens who cross roads or walk planks. The boys laugh so much as they share jokes across the table that it is hard not to join in on the fun.

The only rule in all of this is that they are not supposed to tell potty jokes, especially at the table. So, the other day when I heard the answer as "because he was trying to pee on the pirate's head," I immediately put a stop to that answer. Andrew immediately retorted with this joke:

"Why did the chicken walk the plank?"
"Because he was trying to tee on the tirate's head!"

Sigh...what am I going to do with him?

Hilarious. I do the same thing.... laugh at things that aren't truly funny, but the girls think it is funny and that makes me laugh. No one around here tells any chicken jokes though :)
