Laughs for Papa

Jokes Elam told to Papa (great-grandfather) on the phone last night:
  • Why do seagulls fly over the sea? Because if they flew over bays they would be called bagels.
  • Why are dinosaurs healthier than dragons? Because dinosaurs don't smoke.
  • Why couldn't the bicycle stand up? Because he was two tired.
  • Why did the lobster blush? Because the sea weed. (*At this point he has to tell you that this is a British joke because they use the word "wee" rather than "pee".)
  • How do you make a tissue dance? Put a little boogie in it!

Great jokes, E! I was in a class all day and I needed a laugh when I got home -- these were perfect! I could just imagine Papa cracking up when you told him the punch lines;-) love, grammy

I suppose he's a little too young for "3 nun's walk into a bar . . .KONK". I remember telling papa that joke over and over, although I was in my 20's when I was telling jokes. Sad.
