Thanks to this post on elephant camoflauge, i just remembered a terrible joke of my father's, which I ADORED when I was about twelve and have been trying to remember for years now.

1. How do you put an elephant in the fridge?

You open the door, put the elephant in, and close the door.

2. How do you put a giraffe in the fridge?

You open the door, take the elephant out, put the giraffe in, and close the door.

3. The King of the Jungle is holding a parliament. Which animal isn't there?

The giraffe. He's still in your fridge.

4. You're hiking through the jungle and you come across a river. You absolutely have to cross this river, and there isn't a bridge for miles around. You could ford it, but the river is infested with crocodiles. What do you do?

You can ford it without a worry- the crocodiles are at the Jungle King's parliament.

DREADFUL. But it's been bugging me for YEARS.

*cackles*

I knew those two first ones, but not the second two - I'm going to have to appropriate them and drive my sister insane.

Glad to be of assistance!

That joke is awesome! What is the problem?

oh, come on, it's nearly as bad as the Hamlet Joke...

Nah... it's easily as bad. But that doesn't detract from the awesome.

if only I'd known that before going on SUMS camp. At Saturday night's dinner, people get asked to tell a joke... well, there's a drum roll of fists on one group's table, followed by an impromptu couplet describing someone ending with "so let's hear a joke from ____" (or a variation there on), and then they're peer-pressured into telling a joke. I didn't get called (perhaps nothing rhymes with David?), but a couple people at my table were and had no jokes to tell. Marina had a similar one to yours, though, involving planes, toast, and dead koalas... that was actually one of the better, cleaner jokes.

*does* anything rhyme with David?

the closest I can come up with is craved (and other such words), with poetic licence on the pronunciation to accentuate the e, making it crave-ed.

That's up there with "How does an elephant hide in a strawberry patch?" "He paints his toe-nails red. Have you ever seen an elephant in a strawberry patch? No? Well, that just shows how good the disguise is!"

AHAHAHAHAH!

FAAAABULOUS.
