About on the level of a “knock-knock” joke.

My personal favorite:

Me: Knock, knock!  
You: Who’s there?  
Me: Interrupting cow!  
You: Interrup–  
Me: MOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Done mostly for the amusement value of the shocked look when I bellow in your face.

My 4-year old daughter, Meghan, killed me again today. Her best friend at preschool is a little girl named Julie Hu, she’s Chinese, as you might guess. Meghan comes up to me and says:

“knock knock”  
“who’s there?” I ask  
“Julie”, she says.  
“Jul… - HEYYYY!” I yelled.

I thought it was pretty cool that she could come up with that one, though. She was just barely getting the structure of the whole knock-knock joke thing last week, and today she gets me with this one. I was impressed.

The story I heard along those lines was that Buddy Hackett, appearing on _The Tonight Show_, had the following exchange with Johnny Carson:

Funny, but doesn’t compare to The Joke Of All Jokes:

Two atoms are talking:

Atom #1: I’ve lost an electron!  
Atom #2: Are you sure?  
Atom #1: Yes, I’m positive!
