Your joke about the 3 strings was just one string the first time I heard it. I thought that joke was hilarious and through the years it's been one of the only 2 jokea that I could ever remember! That one and the one about the cannibals sitting around eating a clown and the one says to the other...."does this taste funny to you"? I'm not sure what that says about me...
Cannibal jokes can really eat at a person... heh.
Guess that's "string joke inflation" for you. (Of course I blame Dubya, and all the strings he pulled.)
Except for a few Groucho quips (
"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.") and clever Dorothy Parker spoonerisms (
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy." or
"You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."), the only one I can ever remember is
"Two peanuts were walking in the park and one was a-salted." (I know, nutty.) Of course, puns are considered the LOWEST form of humor, so ... lo, here's another!:
A guy went to a psychiatrist. "Doc," he said, "I keep having these
alternating recurring dreams. First I'm a teepee, then I'm a wigwam,
then I'm a teepee, then I'm a wigwam. It's driving me crazy. What's
wrong with me?"
The doctor replied, "It's very simple. You're two tents."
