We haven’t had a dumb jokes thread in a while (well, at least a day or two), so for those going through withdrawal: What animal has two humps and is found at the North Pole? A camel with a really poor sense of direction. What’s the difference between a coyote and a flea? One howls on the prairie, the other prowls on the hairy ---

I’ll take this opportunity to tell my young son’s first joke ever. “I met a man who said he hadn’t had a bite in three days. So I _shot_ him!” It takes a little Zen to find this funny, but fortunately, little Zen was born shortly after. To someone else. I assume. I think it’s funny anyhow. ---

**The King of Soup** – very Dada. I laughed. ---

My favorite stupid joke: What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back? A stick. ---

You take the quote feature, and you replace the word “quote” with “spoiler” ---

> [@Scott\_plaid](#): > > You take the quote feature, and you replace the word “quote” with “spoiler” No, I know how to do spoilers – :rolleyes: – but there’s a way to do it where it’s spoilerized on the thread page, and the mouse-over is also spoilerized, which when you just do “spoiler” it isn’t. ---

Loach brought up this problem, and I believe the line spaces will solve the problem. I don’t know how many lines it takes to do the trick. ---

I also know that. But there’s a way to combine “spoiler” and “quote” so it’s not necessary. ---

Why did the pope cross the road? ``` He crosses everything. ``` A bear walks into a bar and eats a cocktail waitress. He then goes up to the bar and orders a drink. The bartender says, “I’m sorry, we don’t serve drug users here.” “I’m not a drug user,” the bear says. “Oh yeah?” asks the bartender. “What about that barbituate?” ---

Strange; just yesterday I was thinking of starting a dumb-jokes thread. Why do they only eat one egg for breakfast in France? Because in France, one egg an an oeuf!
