My favorite joke ever is one that my nephew made up when he was 4 and just starting to understand the patterns people use to make jokes. That nephew is in high school now, and I still use how a person reacts to the joke as a measuring stick for how well I'm likely to get along with them. Without further ado...


Q: What has three legs, but isn't spaghetti?

A: A spider.
Lol


... after a 4 year old has played with it!

When I was 6, I made up my first joke: How many days of the week are there? When the person replied, "Seven" I said, "No, 6." Then I waited to build the suspense, and said, "On Saturday you get a day off." Kid logic, I guess.

The lesson? Never steal a punchline if someone else is telling a joke. Saying, "Oh yeah, I love this joke" is fine after the joke's initial setup, but never steal the punchline from the storyteller. Huge no-no.

Oddly enough, I went the opposite route with a male student of mine.

"Why is 6 afraid of 7?" he asked me, bright-eyed and giddy.

"Hurrrrr, because 7 ate 9. GOOD ONE, JUSTIN!" and then I mockingly laughed and flipped the hat off of his head.

The other students had a good laugh and Justin lost 3 stickers.

A magician invites a member of the audience on stage and says: "I want you to hit me in the head as hard as you can with this sledgehammer."
Guy from the audience: "Are you sure? Alright..."  BAM! He hits the magician as hard as he can with the sledgehammer.

Five years later the magician wakes up from a coma and shouts "TA DA!"
