Arm-ees?

Q: Where do generals keep their armies?ArminSleeve
A: In their sleevies!

Explanation: A general is the leader of an army (singular), so, generals are the leaders of armies (plural).  When you put on a shirt your arm goes into the sleeve of the shirt.  Often times in English, to make something small you put the “ee” sound on the end- cute becomes cutie, bird become birdie.  In this joke arm becomes arm-ee so it goes into your sleeve-ee.

Virus!

Q: Why did the computer keep sneezing?
compsneez
A: It had a virus!

Explanation: When someone is sick that person may sneeze.  A virus is a really small thing, smaller than a cell in your body, that can make you sick.  So, a virus can make you sneeze.  A virus is also the name of a computer program that does something bad to your computer (or uses your computer in a way that you do not want it to).  This joke is funny because it uses the word “virus” in two different ways.  Wash your hands!

A: Two lips.

The High Notes

Q: Why did the music teacher need a ladder?HighNotes
A: To reach the high notes.

Explanation:  Ahh, yes!  The high notes!  When one goes up, like in an airplane or up a ladder, one is going up higher.  The child cannot reach the cookies because they are up high.  High notes are the ones more to the right on a piano; in science the larger the Hz the higher the note.  But high notes are not up high; that’s why this joke is funny!

Wet and Dry

Q: What gets wetter the more it dries? towel
A: A towel!

Explanation: A towel is used to dry something like a plate or your hands.  As the towel  dries your hands the towel, which was dry, becomes wet.  It is not the towel that is becoming dry, it is your hands that are becoming dry.  This joke is funny because it plays on the opposites of wet and dry.  How could something get wet as it dries?
