May- bee Ba-bee

Posted on November 22, 2013 by stfleming

Q:     What do you call newborn bee?

A:     A ba-bee!

Explanation:  Newborn is a word that refers to a baby who has recently come into the world, yes, a baby.  A bee is an insect that gives us honey and pollinates plants.

This joke plays on the word/ work part “Bee.” A baby or a ba-bee.  Get it?  A newborn bee is a baby or a ba-bee; both words sound the same.

One joke a day from now til New Year’s Eve.  That is my goal.  Thank you for reading and writing to me!!

The title of this post is from a Buddy Holly Song.

Food that’s fast

Posted on September 17, 2013 by stfleming

Q: What do racers eat?RunningCarrot
A: Fast food!

Explanation:  A racer is a person who races, such as a runner or a race car driver.  The whole point of a race is to go fast in order to win.  “Fast food” is food that you can get at a restaurant like McDonalds: you order the food and they give it to you right away.  So if you want to go fast you need to eat food that will give you the energy to go fast, or “fast food.”  That’s what makes this joke funny!  Of course fast food will not make you fast, fat perhaps, but not fast 🙂 .

Scaredy Cow!

Posted on September 4, 2013 by stfleming

Q:  What do you call a scared cow?Cow Scared
A:  A milk shake!

Explanation:  When people get scared, frightened, they sometimes shake because of the fear they feel.  A milkshake is a drink that mixes (or shakes) together ice cream and milk (sometimes with fruit or chocolate or …).  So, if you shake a cow (which would be really hard to do!) you could get a milk-shake.  Or if the cow gets scared it could shake itself and the milk that is inside it thereby making a milkshake.  Crazy!  It could never happen!  That’s why it’s funny!

Baseball Web

Posted on April 20, 2013 by stfleming

Q: Why would a spider be a good baseball player? baseball spider
A: Because it is good at catching flies!

Explanation:  Spiders catch flies in their webs; flies (fly- singular) are small insects with wings.  When spiders build spiderwebs the flies get stuck in them and the spiders eat them.  When a baseball player hits a baseball and it goes up in the air to the outfield we say, “the baseball player has hit a fly ball,”  that is, the player hit the ball and it flew through the air.  The outfielders, the players standing far away from the batter, are waiting to catch the fly balls that have been hit.  An outfielder who is good at this is good at catching flies… just like a spider.

Thanks “Tree” for the joke!

Bowl me over!

Posted on April 19, 2013 by stfleming

Q: Where do football players go before the big game? toilet bowl trophy
A: To the Toilet Bowl!

Explanation: If someone says, “I gotta go!” that person means, “I have to go to the bathroom.”  Imagine someone saying that while squeezing their legs together.  Football championship games are called bowl games, think The Super Bowl, The Rose Bowl, … The part of a toilet where one leaves waste is the toilet bowl, the part you see filled with water.  This joke is funny because it combines the ideas of going to the bathroom with a bowl game.  11 year olds might love this joke!

Elfabet

Posted on April 18, 2013 by stfleming

Q: What do elves learn in school? alphabet
A: The elf-abet!

Explanation:  One elf (singular), two elves (plural).  Elves are mythological beings found in stories like The Hobbit or found at the north pole working for Santa Claus.  The alphabet is learned by school children in all English speaking schools (and other languages too!). “Elf” sounds like “alf” or “alph,” the first part of the word alphabet.  This joke is funny because it plays on the sounds in elf and alph.

Thanks “Tree” for sending the joke.
