So give me your best, short, childish jokes. Something along the lines of:

Q: Why did the tomato blush?  
A: Because it saw the salad dressing!

I love them! I seem to be a rare breed among my friends, family, colleagues, polite associates, wait staff…

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.

What’s green and lumpy and flies through the sky?  
Super Pickle!

What’s red and round and goes ‘slam, slam, slam, slam!’?  
A four-door tomato!

Knock knock  
Who’s there?  
Dwayne  
Dwayne who?  
Dwayne the tub, I’m dwowning!

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?  
Either  
Either who?  
Either bunny! Knock knock  
Who’s there?  
Nutter  
Nutter who?  
Nutter either bunny! Knock knock  
Who’s there?  
Stella  
Stella who?  
Stella nutter either bunny. Knock knock  
Who’s there?  
Cargo  
Cargo who?

Who’s there?  
Boo  
Boo who?  
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!
