The punchline game

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

The idea is to give the punchline of a joke widespread enough that you expect people to already know it. "Yes, I know Pedro; I had lunch with him yesterday!' and such like that. Everybody who gets it smiles and time is saved - somebody doesn't get it, you tell the joke and somebody hears a classic for the first time. -This probably worked better in person with a small number of people when I invented the game in college, but worth a try here.

When I was about 10, there was a dirty one going around with the punchline "And the boy called out from under the bed 'For a Niiickel!'" About 15 years later, a much younger cousin told me the same joke with the end of the punchline changed to "I'll do for a quarter." - now THAT'S inflation in action.

ACK!

I have absolutely no idea what this thread means. I googled the Pedro 'punchline' and the top result was this thread so that joke can't be widespread.

"This guy!"

Okay, I don't feel like writing up Pedro right this minute, but I will do it soon. I'm going to try to tell a very gross joke in classy language, and I challenge others to do same. Ralph Mouth was once saying that punchline at Arnold's as they faded in on a scene, I think indicating a very old joke.

It resembled Ming in that respect.

"That's what she said!"

"I was talking to the parrot!"

"Now I carry my own bomb."

[Tuberski]

"Alright, I give up, where's the boat?"

ACK!
