I'm learning to do humor. I've gotten pretty good with puns and I know a couple of "knock-knock" jokes. I even told one to The Vision ( Read more... )

When I was growing up, a young man under the tutilage of the Atlantean King Thakorr, my grandfather, I was assigned various duties which would prepare me for my eventual duties as monarch and commander of the Atlantean forces ( ... )

Ha! I get it! He thought the tiger's tail was a snake, because it was shaped like one! And "tiger by the tail" is an expression! And the prolonged storyline made it funnier because I didn't know what to expect.

That's very funny, thank you!

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had to change it from the version which I was told, but I like it better that way.
I know another one.

Really? Wow. Where do you learn all these?

I've been alive a long time.

This one concerns the proper way to catch a pink elephant. First, you must go to the baker and order a cake with five raisins on it. Then, you get into your plane and you fly over the land of the blue elephants. You don't stop there, because anyone can catch a blue elephant. Upon arriving in the land of the pink elephants, you place the cake under a tree, and hide behind another. Along will come a pink elephant. It will eat the raisins off the cake, and then leave. You must then take the cake and fly back home.
The next day, go to the baker and order a cake with four raisins on it. Then, get into your plane and fly over the land of the blue elephants. You don't stop there, because anyone can catch a blue elephant. Upon arriving in the land of the pink elephants, you place the cake under a tree, and hide behind another. Along will come a pink elephant. It will eat the raisins off the cake, and then leave. You must then take the cake and fly back home ( ... )

even longer pause

But....

oh....wait...

Ohhhh!!!!!!!!!! Ha, ha! That one is really funny! The elephant is "blue"! Ha! And I thought the thing about the blue elephants earlier was part of the structure of the shaggy dog story that was just supposed to lengthen it and then it turns out that it was important all along! That's complicated.

Um, are there really pink elephants?

No, there are not really pink elephants. It is, however, a cliche to say that someone who is drunk sees pink elephants, because they are so implausible. People who are drunk do not really see pink elephants, either.

Oh, okay. Thanks. I mean, there's a lot of things that I don't really get to see, like elephants and stuff. But I've seen drunk people, though.

Thank you for telling me those jokes! They were definitely funny.

Of course. I know many more, if you ever want to hear them.

That would be a lot of fun.
