My niece made her first joke ever over Thanksgiving break. Let me tell you the joke. "How do you spell I cup?" Don't know? Let me tell you!
I-C-U-P
Brilliant! I laughed so hard, mainly because it was a joke I knew from my own elementary school days and I was glad to hear it was still going around. But it made me think about my first joke, and sad enough, I remember it like it was only yesterday I said it...
I was about 5 or 6 years old and as a class we had to describe a character that we were reading about. To help us with our ever-growing vocabulary, our teacher threw the word "bold" on the board. Then she asked if anyone knew what it meant. Now I knew what it meant, but I decided to be funny and I knew, as my first joke ever, this would make or break me...
are you on the edge of your seat yet?
...So I raised my hand and the teacher called on me. I said something along the lines of "It means you have no hair" (you see, I was defining bald, not bold...get it?! Ahh never mind). When you're five years old, believe me, any joke about poop, farts, or extra body hair (or lack thereof) is golden. And yes, I got the whole class laughing. Even the teacher laughed! I was set for life as the class clown...
But I decided to go out strong. Your second joke is never as good as your first and in fact, you can never top the first joke ever. EVA. So I quit being funny and led a serious life. Oh, sure I laughed but never again had I made a joke because no matter how hard I tried, it could never top the bold/bald joke.
The End.
