If a bad poem can inspire a thread of some 20 posts, what will a bad joke do? This afternoon I was cleaning out my files (OK, it was a joke file.) and I chanced on some real groaners. Sometimes, with a little luck, a joke gets so old nobody remembers it. These are so old they were typed on a manual typewriter.

Two Eskimos were sitting in a kayack. They were cold, but when they lit a fire in the middle of the kayak, it sank. This proves that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other one stayed behind and worked in the cotton fields. Naturally he didn't amount to much, so he became known as the lesser of two weevils.

A three legged dog walked into a saloon in the Old West and said, "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw."

Groan.

On his way home for the Christmas holidays, a man stopped in a diner and ordered the Christmas breakfast special, which was Eggs Benedict. It was served on a big shinny hub cap. So he asked the waiter, "Why the hub cap?" The waiter answered, "There's no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise."

Groan!

A neutron goes into a bar and asks the bartender, "How much for a beer?" The bartender replies, "For you, no charge."

GROAN!!

Two atoms are walking down the street and they run smack into each other. One says to the other, "Are you all right?"
"No, I've lost an electron!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm positive."

Urp.
