Hot puppy dog joke

[kodalai]

As part of the English langauge newsletter I do for my kids, I often include an english-language joke. (Anybody know any good ones?) As part of my routine searching, I found this political joke at the expense of Bill Clinton:







President Clinton is out jogging, and he encounters a man with some puppies. Clinton asks the man what kind of puppies they are, and the man responds, "They're Democrat puppies, Mr. President."



Clinton thinks that is so great that the next day he brings the first lady to see these puppies for herself. He asks the man to tell Hillary what kind of puppies they are, and the man responds, "They're Republican puppies." The president looks puzzled and says, "Yesterday, you told me they were Democrat puppies."



The man smiles and says, "Yesterday, they were. But today, they have their eyes open!"





Which inspired me to write this counter-joke:



President Clinton was out for a walk in the city, and he started to get hungry. Seeing a hot dog vendor by the side of the road, he stopped there for a bite. He asks the guy, "Before I buy, I have to know... Are these Republican hot dogs, or Democrat hot dogs?"


The vendor replies, "They're Democrat hot dogs, of course, Mr. President."


Bill is so pleased that he buys one with everything, and not only that, but he tells all his aides at the White House about the great hot dog vendor.


The next day, Bill is out for a walk with his wife, and they decide to get some lunch. Bill leads Hillary over to the hot dog vendor and says "Here's the guy who sells the Democratic hot dogs."


The vendor replies "I'm sorry, Mr. President, but that was yesterday. They're Republican hot dogs today."


Bill is astounded. "But why?" he said. "You said they were Democratic hot dogs!"


"Yes," the vendor says with a smile. “But that was before I sold out.”

"I often include an english-language joke. (Anybody know any good ones?)"

I'm amazed that after literally decades around him, you made a statement like this where your father could read it.

(Incidentally, since nothing is better than a really great steak, and even a moldy potato is better than nothing, it follows that a moldy potato is better than a really great steak.)

*snigger* I like your joke better, y'know. XD

I'm having a hard time thinking of a joke you could tell to students... I mean, other than the old standbys like, "What time is it when an elephant sits on a fence?/Time to get a new fence!"

I can only offer a punctuation joke from Lynn Truss' book, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation we got from one of our teachers.

-----

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Not sure it's a terribly good one, though. :)
