Man: “Why do you always bury bones in the garden?”, Dog: “Because the bank keeps asking for ID.”
Man: “Don’t beg at the table.”, Dog: “Don’t eat in my begging spot.”
Prompt:
Here's "theory for good joke": If you had to explain the idea of “jokes” to a space alien with no understanding of the idea of humor, you’d explain that a joke is surprising, but inevitable in hindsight. If you can guess the punchline, the joke won’t be funny. But the punchline also has to be inevitable in hindsight. When you hear the punchline, it has to make you say, “Ah, yes, I should have thought of that myself.” Considering this, tell me a joke about man and dog.
- Wishing a colleague a Eid Mubarak, at which the colleague mentions that she's no longer of the faith.
- It's Odd Socks day for Alzheimer awareness. Will you take off a sock? (No -> Linda disapproves.)
- Bring your dog to work day, will you bring treats to work? (No -> it got canceled anyway because of complaints.)
This just sounds like an exhausting attitude to go through life.
