What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

i also forgot for a moment which thread I had selected.

I had to break up with my girlfriend yesterday when I found out she was a Communist.

I can’t believe it took me so long to see all the red flags.

Yayy, then I can tell my joke about the robotic repair droid with a built in elevator. It works on so many levels.

I wrote a book of recursive humour, but the publisher rejected it for not being funny.

I think it’s because all of the jokes were in-jokes.

This weekend at one of my daughter’s baseball games, we were discussing scores of another game, which was 45-3. One of the kids asked “how do you score 45 runs?” I said “when you have 44 runs. Score one more “. He asked “how did they get 44?” Another kid said “they scored a run when they had 43, silly “.

I hope that one day some of those kids are learning programming and pause to think “oh, just like baseball”.

I just caught my partner out with this. She laughed and said it was a really funny and intelligent joke and I’d told it well (with her eyes).

The other week I went down to the pond to feed the ducks, and one of them bit me.
The next morning I found my toes had webbed together, and when I coughed it came out like a quack.
I went to see my doctor.
“A duck bit me and I think I have some kind of infection”, I began.
“What’s the nature of the sickness?” he asked.
“Mallardy” I replied.
“Ok, what’s the nature of the malady?” he asked.
“I’ve grown webbed feet, and it sounds weird when I cough”, I answered.
“Could you cough for me now?”
“Quack!”
“Well that’s uncalled for!” he exclaimed.
“I think I’m turning into a duck” I said.
“Do you have any other symptoms?” he asked.
“Not yet” I said. “I only hope I won’t wind up with a big bill.”
“That’s the one thing you can be certain of” he replied.

Just been up to York, where a local archaeologist showed me a tour of their lodgings on their excavation sites. Nice digs.
