Comic Relief

My 12-year old nephew is away at summer camp. I get to send him e-mails while he is there, and it is important for him that I do, however there is only so much I can really say to a 12-year old kid in a one-way communication. So I had this idea, that he might like it if I sent him some jokes. The problem I have run into is that I don't know any appropriate jokes, such jokes being clean, PC and suitable for children. I am aware that the kids tell inappropriate jokes to each other, but I am Auntie Max and I must set an example. Not only that, but the e-mails go through the camp administration so I wouldn't get away with it.

Fellow bloggers, would you please donate some jokes to my cause? An added benefit is that they might lighten all of our moods a little bit.

Thanks.

Stairs, not sure if the kids will appreciate it but it's good.

DD, that cannot be the only joke you know, and you know very well that it is not pc. You just can't resist telling it every chance you get, can you?

Why don't aardvarks get sick?

Because they have antibodies in them!

MM,

Really, it's the ONLY joke anyone needs to know. :-)

Skeeter, Anon and Marmoo - thanks very much.

DD, I do love that joke and I will tell it to my nephew when I see him, but I cannot send it to him at summer camp.

Stairs, I am obviously not very pc either - that cracked me up.

And I think you would make a great Godfather.

Thanks, TM! I like the way all of your answers have exclamation points! I think that's very cute! Weird Canadian!

I'm not weird - just enthusiastic! I can't believe that I found jokes that are cute without any of my favourite vocab in them. hahaha

By the way our favourite crazy Canadian "Chatsy" is coming to visit this weekend from Montreal - between the two of us Toronto might actually be exciting - or a drunken brawl!

Two sausages are sitting in a frying pan. One turns to the other and says, "Oooh! It's hot in here."

The other one turns and yells, "Ah! A talking sausage!!"

Q: Ever heard of the illness called Chirpys?

A: It's a canarial disease and is untweetable.

How about a round of Barnicle Bill the Sailor?

Or maybe:

"Let me tell you a story 'bout man named Jed,

He took Ellie May and a put her in the bed,

Pulled down his zipper
and out came a worm of bubbling sperm." (A summer camp favorite circa 1973)

Thank you all so much for your contributions. I have just sent a collection of jokes to my nephew at summer camp. I think he'll like the jokes, or he will just continue to think that Auntie Max is not quite right in the head.

If you think of any more, I'll be sending another e-mail next week.

Thanks again.

Love
Max
