Well worth reading… ( the jokes at least)

April 17, 2007 by Maren 12 Comments

Two hats are on a hat rack when one hat says to the other, “You stay here.  I’ll go on a head.”

This almost trumps my favorite joke of all time.  However, I can’t remember the right wording, and thus to tell it as I remember it, would ruin the punch line.  I tried to Google it, but apparently it’s such a bad joke that no one in the world has it on any type of website. Shame.  I still think it’s funny. (only because it’s so bad.)  Warped sense of humor; yes, I know.

****Edit: Persistence Pays… I Found it–  Now what makes this joke funny is the manner of the laugh AFTER the joke has been told.  People think that you actually think this joke is funny and laugh only because it’s the stupidest joke they’ve ever heard–AND YOU ARE LAUGHING.  Drum roll, please.

What do you call a cold puppy sitting on a rabbit?  A chilly dog on a BUNny.

 

Um, maybe I should tell jokes!?!?!?

Because you always wondered…

Last night, at photography class, we were supposed to take examples of pics and bring them in.  This “goody-two-shoes” man had all these pictures of a house with different apetures and shutter speeds.  OF COURSE IT WASN’T MY HOUSE, but to be randomly funny, I asked him how he knew where I lived.  He DID NOT think it was funny.  Everyone else did.  He looked at me like, “You’re an idiot” and SAID, “That’s my house.”  JOKE, MISTER.  Insert laugh here… Oh well.  Some people need a humor shot.

Now for the educational part of this blog…. (taken from http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/17667)

“The original “Goody Two Shoes” wasn’t a hypocrite, although she definitely sounds a bit unbearable to modern ears. She made her debut in a children’s story called “The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes,” published by John Newbery in 1766. Goody was a poor child who only had one shoe. One day she somehow obtained a complete pair of shoes, whereupon she ran through the streets of her neighborhood, accosting passersby at random and announcing “Two shoes! Two shoes!” The author of this fable, incidentally, is said to have been the famed English playwright Oliver Goldsmith.

While today we would probably regard Goody as a hopeless wuss and routinely use “Goody Two Shoes” to mean someone who is suspiciously upright, it’s comforting to know that it took us almost 200 years to arrive at that conclusion, and that the first negative, cynical use of “Goody Two Shoes” in print dates back only to 1934.

Since you’ve always wondered…NOW your questions have been answered, and you can finally rest.  Pics from photography class coming soon.

Have a great weekend!  I’m off tomorrow for Veterans’ Day!  Yeehaw.  There truly are some nice things about my job, of which i need to be thankful!  Cheerio!
