Gotta Love Laffy Taffy Humor! (And Sarcastic Blog Titles.)

I LOVE LAFFY TAFFY.  Seriously, it's #1 on the list of my favorite foods.  But there is one thing about it that I would like to complain about, and that would be the jokes.  Who doesn't love jokes?  That's the only reason why kids eat laffy taffy and popsicles uncontrollably; to hear the jokes.  But it's almost as if laffy taffy jokes aren't even worth reading.  Most of the time when I read one to a bunch of people, nobody laughs. 

I'm not trying to crush the dreams of a little 8 year old who submits their jokes to laffy taffy by telling them that they are terribly uncreative.  I'm just trying to say that they have a long way to go before they can be a comedian.  Maybe they can publish their own joke book instead, since obviously that doesn't take much these days. 

I would like to share some of these jokes with you, and maybe you will see things the way I do. 

1) How can you tell if there's a hippo in your oven?  The oven door won't close.

2)What time was it when the elephant sat on the chair?  Time to get a new chair. 

3) Why did they bury the battery?  Because it was dead.

4) Why won't lobsters share?  Because they are shellfish.

5) Why did the ghost float across the road?  Because he couldn't walk. 

Usually my first thought when I read some of these is, "....What? How is this funny?  Why is this even considered a joke?"  I honestly don't understand.  Maybe no one else even cares about laffy taffy jokes.  After all, you buy laffy taffy to eat it, not to get a laugh out of it.  Even if you did buy laffy taffy to get a laugh out of it, you'd be completely wasting your money.  But  it's always nice to eat good candy AND read a good joke.  And right now, all we're gettin is the good candy.
