What’s big and red and eats rocks?
The Big Red Rock-eater!!
A Man goes to see his Doctor and says “I get a blinding pain in my eye whenever I drink coffee - what can the problem be?”
Doctor says, “Take the spoon out when you’ve finished stirring!”
A: (Rolling the rrrrr…, in your best Italian accent…) Roberto!
(I’m in love with this joke, it kills me. I giggle and giggle when telling it and can barely get the words out. As a result it’s hard to tell if people like the joke as much as I, or are just infected with my giggly delivery!)
What do you have when your head is hot, your foot is cold, and you see spots in front of your eyes?
You have a polka-dot sock over your head!
I had two joke books I got in second grade or so, and I got all my best (worst) from them.
Some more:
If taking out your tonsils is a tonsilectomy, and removing your appendix is an appedictomy, what do you call it when you get a growth removed from your head?
A haircut!
A tomato, a faucet, and a cabbage were in a race. Who won?
The cabbage was ahead, the faucet was running, and the tomato tried to ketchup.
And my 9YO’s favorite (it’s lengthy; each Spring, she makes me rehearse it with her so she can get it just right):
Knock knock
Who’s there?

Nutter who?
Nutter either bunny! Knock knock
Who’s there?

Don’t cry, either bunny will be back again next year!
Oh, and this one is a family classic. Let me give you a little background: I have a nephew, now a grown man, married and expecting his second child. However, as a small child, he was speech delayed, and his teachers feared he may even be autistic or slightly retarded. We were all so delighted when, at age 3, he made up his very own joke that it has become classic at all family gatherings:
How do you get over an elephant?
Up he tail and down his trunk!
No, it’s not really that funny, but the sheer joy on his face at having been clever enough to make up and then tell a joke. . .well, you had to be there, I guess. But “up he tail and down he trunk” has become a family in-joke just the way “penis ensued” is an in-joke around here!
