So I got my all four of my wisdom teeth taken out like 2 hours ago. I can’t talk well enough for anyone to understand me, and my whole face hurts. I’m bored, bored, bored so I thought you guys could help me out. I know we’ve done similar threads in the past and I remember they cracked me up everytime. I can’t even smile right now, let alone **laugh** , but I desperately need amusement.

I’m inviting you all to share with me your favorite punchlines. Please?

Gerrupta Sing.  
And now the punchline to a joke I (ironically, for it’s content) learned at an early age, that is one of the best jokes I’ve been told. Spoiler due to bad language.

[spoiler]What’s your name.

Fuck off.

What’s your name.

Fuck off.

Where’s your manners.
