Return of the Joking Okie
So, once Benes has his hands on a good joke, he's reluctant to let go of it. It not being enough that he had to inflict the humour on the Statistics class, he had to share the jokes with my class as well.
The Snow White "Someday your prints will come" joke got a mixed giggle and groan. The joke where the cop pulls the guy over and asks, "Your eyes are red -- have you been drinking?" and the guy responds, "Your eyes look glazed -- have you been eating doughnuts?" gets a giggle.
But when he tells the joke where the fellow runs around with the desk on his back, the typewriter under his arm, the wastebasket under the other, and gets questioned by a cop, and becomes arrested when he answers, "Impersonating an office, sir" -- silence. It's such a horrible pun we don't even groan.
Benes begins explaining the joke, how "office, sir", sounds like "officer" -- there is a sole voice from the back of the room. "What's a typewriter?"
Class erupts in laughter.
For the record, that was not me. It was some male person on the other side of the room. Not Darkside, not Ron. Just this random wit. "An analog word processor!" someone tells him, which gets more laughter.
Gods, I love DeVry University of Diversity.
