My (2nd grade) son got this book from the Op Shop (second-hand store) about a month ago when he was staying with his Granny. It’s called the Mega Joke Book and it’s full of jokes like 'What’s brown and sticky? (A stick!) and ‘Where do generals keep their armies?’ (Up their sleevies!) and he absolutely ADORES it.
But some of the jokes are getting just a little bit long in the tooth. ‘What do you call a soul singer with biscuits on his head?’ (Lionel Rich Tea) … yeah, that’s kind of lead-balloon-ish. The book was written in the 90’s, but that’s no excuse for ‘What do you call a skeleton in a kilt?’ (Bony Prince Charlie) unless 90’s second-graders were a whole lot more educated than I remember 'em.
What we need are some updated ones. The more groan-worthy the better. I’ve started. Help me out!
What computer games do witches like?
I tried to write a pokemon joke (i.e. “what day do the animals fight? / pokemonday!”) but then realized that sufficiently educating myself on the history and mechanics of pokemon to properly form the riddle would take up brain cells I might need for more important information like nose-picking procedures so I gave up.
This is sort of a bungled version of a joke I heard on Adventure Time, but can’t exactly remember how it goes.
Some guy got in an accident and got his left arm and left leg torn off. His wife went to the hospital and asked the doctor how he was doing. The doctor said, he’s all right.
