My dad is funny.
He recently gave me a book of jokes, with the tip that “to deliver a joke effectively, one must pause before the punch line”.
I think he is worried about me because at a recent rock band performance, I messed up the punch line of a joke. People laughed anyway, and I was okay with that.

My joke:
A duck walked into a hardware store. “Got duck food?” he asked the owner.
“Nope.”
He returned the next day. “Got duck food?” he asked again.
“Nope.”
Yet again, the next day, he asked, “Got duck food?”
“Stop asking,” the owner said, “or I’ll nail your webbed feet to the floor.”
The next day, the duck returned, but this time he asked, “Got nails?”
“Nope,” the owner said, sounding relieved. “We ran out of ’em today.”
The duck asked, “Got duck food?”

I told my husband my comedic inspiration is Fozzie Bear on The Muppets, who thought he was funny but really wasn’t, which made for funny shtick.

Okay, to start off this week, I need for you to make me laugh. Please post a clean joke that I can share with my kids.
Or, if you’d rather, share what or who makes YOU laugh.
