Warm up
Where did you go? How did you get there? What did you see. When did you return?

Use one of these sites to find and copy a short joke. Choose carefully and be prepared to read to a partner and the whole class:


Examples:


Q: What do you call a pig with three eyes?
A: A piiig.
Q: What goes Oh, Oh, Oh?
A: Santa Claus walking backwards.

Q: What do elephants have that no other animal has? 
A: Baby elephants.

Two cows are standing in a field.
One says to the other "Are you worried about Mad Cow Disease?"
The other one says "No, It doesn't worry me, I'm a horse!" 

Q: What do you call a boomerang that won't come back? 
A: A stick.

Why couldn't Cinderella be a good soccer player? 

She lost her shoe, she ran away from the ball, and her coach was a pumpkin.


Patient: "Doctor, I think I'm suffering from memory loss."
Doctor: "Have you ever had it before?"




Why was the baby ant so confused?
Because all his uncles were aunts.


Doctor: "What's wrong with your brother?" 
Boy: "He thinks he's a chicken."
Doctor: "Really? How long has he thought this?"
Boy: "Three years."
Doctor: "Three years!"
Boy: "We would have brought him in sooner, but we needed the eggs."
