Toilet Humour

No matter what the rest of the world thinks, I am adamant in telling you that adorable little puppy dogs and cuddly teddy bears printed on toilet paper are not cute, sweet or funny in any way. It's just weird and wrong and whoever had the idea to put them on there in the first place clearly didn't think much of puppy dogs and teddy bears at all.

Also falling into this category are inspirational quotes by famous people and jokes. But only funny jokes. Non-funny jokes definitely have their place on the toilet rolls of the world.

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

On Tuesday night we had a bbq dinner as a sort of mini goodbye party for my brother and his wife & daughter who are headed over to England for Christmas. I love these sorts of family barbecues because they’re always a bit of a laugh for one reason or another. Most of the time the entertainment is provided by my niece, who is now a little over 3 years old. This bbq was no exception to the norm.

I decided that I wanted to teach my niece a joke. I told her to listen carefully and I’d teach her a joke that she could tell her granddad. The conversation went something like this

Me: Can you remember this so you can tell Grandad

Her: OK

Me: why did the chicken cross the road?

At this point she farts loudly and we both laugh.

Her: because he wanted to get to farty land!

This seemed like a much funnier response than the regular old’ to get to the other side’ bit, so I suggested that she go and tell the joke to KJ. It then went something like this:

Her: KJ, why did the chicken cross the road on a bike?

KJ: Why?

Her: Because it’s a joke!!

Which all just goes to prove that three year olds are way funnier than adults.
