Connor's elementary concert/performance today was based on the concept of having fun with goofy stories, tongue-twisters, and groan-worthy jokes. Unfortunately, there were quite a number of them that I could not hear as the kids' nerves had them shooting through their lines like little rockets. At least one, however, will make my board: "A: Do you want me to tell you another joke about cattle? B: Nah. If you herd one, you herd them all."
Sure, some of them end up a little dark, like this one that one of my cousin's posted: "My wife opened the car door for me. It would have been a nice gesture if we weren't going 70 mph." Or even this Star Wars one: "My wookie steak was cooked fine, but it was still too Chewie." Yet those are the ones that my students seem to like the best.
So, for those of you who have been putting up goofy jokes, both my students and I thank you.
