The joker

Boy Wonder is learning about jokes lately. Knock-knock jokes in particular. In fact, he spent Friday's drive home (about 35 minutes) telling me a wide selection of them!

However, "learning" is the operative word here. He knows about knock-knock jokes, and knows that people think they are funny, but he doesn't quite understand why the plays on words or sounds are funny. Therefore, his knock-knock jokes are not so much jokes as verbalizations of random adjectives and nouns, with a "Knock, knock?" thrown in for flair. He thinks they are all hilarious. I'll let you judge for yourself; please enjoy the selection below.

Knock, knock!

Potatohead!

Knock, knock!
