Joke Discussion Thread

This is the circlebroke thread. This is something we need.

I am going to kick this thread off by retiring "oh, honey" as an exclamation. It has been literally one day and I have heard it at least 30 times. I don't know what the fuck made this boom overnight but it's already stale.

Also, knock knock jokes
Everyone bring back knock knock jokes
They're vintage.

I just try to make such strange scenarios that you can't help but laugh. Ever read any Ionesco? Seen a play by him? I try to emulate him sometimes. Not that common of humor, mind you.

I want you to break out the cracked window pane in the family room door. It'll look better gone, than cracked.
