Little Johnny's Time of the Month:

Little Johnny walks into a pharmacy and brings a box of tampons to the register.
The cashier looks at the boy and says, "Hi. Are these for your mom?"
Little Johnny thinks for a moment and says, "Umm, no."
The cashier says, "Oh. Then they're for your sister?"
Little Johnny says, "uh-unh."
The cashier, now a bit curious, says, "Oh. Then they must be for your granny!"
Little Johnny says, "Nope."
The cashier is now really confused. Finally she asks, "Well, what are you going to do with them?"
Little Johnny says, "Well, I'm not sure yet. But on TV, they said if I buy these I can go fishing and swimming and horseback riding!"

Answer 1

what about laughing at your own joke?

Answer 2

A joke is not really great if the audience does not laugh, at least in practice. By definition, to tell a great joke is to instill happiness in others. This can be a source of great power. Used moderately, guys in particular can build a nice cocky & funny persona with it.

Answer 3

Hey Breezer - good one. Here's one for you!!! A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she lay her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, your pet has passed away." The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure? "Yes, I'm sure. The duck is dead," he replied. "How can you be so sure", she protested. "I mean, you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something." The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few moments later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog and took it out and returned a few moments later with a beautiful cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed the bird from its beak to its tail and back again. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly, jumped down and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck." Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys, and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried. "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead?!!" The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it the bill would have been $20. But with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it all adds up."

Answer 4

I like telling a great joke and making people laugh

Answer 5

in some cases if you are bad with remembering a joke then it better to hear a great joke but on the other hand some people don't care

Answer 6

Hearing one. If you tell a great joke, some people may not understand it, and they won't laugh. Then they won't think it's funny, eventhough you know it is. So you'll feel embarassed. But it's their fault for being so stupid, not to understand a great joke.

Answer 7

I love to hear a great joke, because then I can tell others the great joke.

Answer 8

For me is hearing a great joke, I get more satisfaction out of the joke that way.

Answer 9

They are both equal, i think this because telling or hearing a great joke you are either making other people laugh or laughing yourself.

Answer 10

Telling. Especially if you're good at it. Timing and the right wording is very important. And you get to laugh with who you tell it to.

Answer 11

Telling a great joke.
