If I say I blame Thingummy and Bob, how many people will get the reference?

When I was a kid I had a subscription to Boy's Life, and my poor mother...

Ya see, the back page of every issue was filled with jokes, and my peaked brain would soak those suckers up, and stored 'em like squirrls saving nuts, and then roll 'em on out.

She used to walk around the house saying that hell was made up of flames and Boy's Life jokes.

What about knock-knock jokes? I find them far more annoying when done repetitively.

And somewhere in my head I hear my father's voice saying "If the universe is just and fair, one day you will have a child JUST LIKE YOU."

Just think what else you have to look forward to: knock-knock jokes, Tom Swifties, elephant jokes, and dead baby jokes.

On the other hand, I remember singing "Little Rabbit Fufu" for my parents after I'd learned it at day camp, and they cracked up. They had apparently never heard it before, especially the punchline. It would have been more gratifying for me if I'd realized before I sang it that was a pun. Possibly the last time I missed an opportunity for a pun.

Okay, I give up: explain, please?

I'm not sure there's a great deal to explain. It's a kids' camp song in several verses that's essentially a shaggy dog story, ending with a pun.

Words here -- it's not the exact same version I knew (folk process and all), but the punchline is the same.

My dad still tries out "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy" on unsuspecting new acquaintances. It makes me "arrgh".

Wait until she reads O'Brian, and learns about the dog watches.

I came up with "liquid lumberdators" (instead of lumber liquidators) the other day, so I cannot find fault with Alex.

You are so screwed.
