A father of five shared with us his kids’ favorite joke. (Yes, it’s terribly corny.) This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Too Many Cheetahs”
You’re listening to A Way with Words, the show about language and how we use it.
I’m Grant Barrett.
And I’m Martha Barnette.
Grant, I have a question for you about biology.
Okay.
Why don’t monkeys like to play poker in the jungle?
I don’t know. Why?
Too many cheetahs.
Terrible!
But funny.
Right. You’ve never seen a monkey playing poker in the jungle, right?
That could be the reason.
And never on velvet paintings either.
That’s right. Come to think of it on Black Velvet.
But that was sent to us by Michael Sutherland in Traverse City, Michigan.
He says he has five kids, and that’s their favorite joke ever.
We’d like to hear your favorite joke ever, 877-929-9673, or email it to us, words@waywordradio.org.
