#2-Uncle Bud’s joke

Uncle Bud’s Joke (not so funny)

Uncle Bud tells the same joke every year at the first campfire, so every returning camper knows it by heart. And just before he gets to the end, we always interrupt by yelling out the punch line and laughing hysterically.

Here it is. But I warn you, it’s only funny if you’ve heard it a million times.

A man went into a restaurant with a gigantic, sharp-toothed monster on a leash.

“I’m terribly sorry, sir,” the waiter said, “Your creature looks extremely dangerous. You’ll have to tie him up outside.”

So the man took his monster outside and tied him to a post, then came back inside and ordered dinner. Just as he took the first bite, a little girl came into the restaurant and asked, “Does that terrible monster outside belong to anyone in here?”

“It’s mine,” said the man. “Is there a problem?”

“Well, I’m really sorry,” the little girl said, “But my tiny little kitten just killed him.”

“Killed him!?” The man shouted. “How?”

“She choked him,” the little girl replied.

The man waved his arms in the air and asked loudly, “How could your tiny little kitten choke my great big monster?”

The little girl looked at the man and said, “She got stuck in his throat.”

Uncle Bud needs a new joke. If you know a better joke or a worse joke, please tell it to me.

  2. “I am prepared to wrestle you for this last parachute young man,” said the pilot. “Don’t bother,” began the teenager. “The richest man in the world took my backpack.”

  3. Three people are on a plane:the smartest man in the world, the richest man in the world, and a teenager. Including the pilot, that makes four people. Everyone has a backpack, but only the teenager is holding his, instead of wearing it. “Attention passengers,” says the pilot, “we are about to crash and there are only three parachutes. The richest man snatches up a parachute and dives from the plane. He called “See you later!” The smartest man followed the rich man. Only one parachute was left. **To be continued** Sorry this joke is so long!
