Tonight my roommate performed in Fordham's Got Talent. He played In Your Atmosphere by John Mayer and did a damn good job. Really love the guitar work for that song. But, as in typical fashion, to start it off he told the crowd a joke first. He has actually told this joke before, but it's funny every time, and you laugh when everyone else who hasn't heard it laughs at the punch line.
But, after the laughter calmed and he prepared to start playing, I overheard a girl behind me say 'It's because he is a polar bear, get it, the paws?' which was followed by silence before that 'ohhh' you have heard before. This is a very simple joke, and one that really only works when it is told, and not read. But I have faith that anyone who is reading this is capable of understanding the punch line. Which is why, knowing someone did not catch the point of the joke made it even better.
Does anyone remember any of those popsicle style jokes? Here is one for you:
