Knock Knock - Who's There - NINJA!

filed under: Stuff to laugh at

John Moe, a Seattle radio host and writer who is also a FoDY (Friend of Defective Yeti), has a blog called - delightfully - Monkey Disaster. On it, he frequently writes transcipts of conversations with his children. They're always terrific - a perfect distillation of the cognitive randomness of youth.

But this time, "Charlie (age 5)" has outdone himself. The aptly titled post "Jokes Written by Charlie (Age 5) That Indicate Either a Lack of Understanding About What Jokes Are, or an Absolute Mastery of the Medium" lays out a string of totally dada knock-knock jokes. A sample:

Knock knock
Who's there?
Ninja
Ninja who?
Ninja I'm fighting crime I'm gonna fight the computer for lunch

Knock knock
Who's there?
Dinosaur
Dinosaur who?
I'm gonna charge through your door cause I'm a triceratops.

Knock knock
Who's there?
Dinosaur
Dinosaur who?
Chomp

Read the rest. I also recommend the post immediately preceding it, wherein Charlie debunks the myth of Imagination.

This reminds me of a joke the P'berg brothers came up with:

Knock knock
Who's there?
Jeffrey Dahmer. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

We were, um, a little older than five, but still found it hysterically funny.

I like "I'm gonna fight the computer for lunch".
