My son has really taken a shine to knock-knock jokes of late.
He's been a fan of these "jokes" for some time. Lately though he's waging a war of attrition against his parents and grandparents.
Now you wouldn't have a problem with this if only the jokes weren't so terrible. Here's a few of his favourites:
Knock knock
Who's there?
Cheese
Cheese who?
Cheese Horse I didn't say chimney
Or this one:
Knock knock
Who's there?
Banana
Banana who?
Banana I bet you didn't think I'd say cheese horse
Anyone else see the problem here?
Now in fairness he's only four-and-a-half and the whole humour thing can be complex. I am prone on occasion to a dash of sarcasm so he might not be completely clear about the whole humour thing yet.
That begs the question though. Do knock-knock jokes exist in some form in parts of the world where English is not the first language?
Is there a Chinese equivalent of the knock-knock joke?
What about Australia, South America, Africa, Central Europe?
I mean these jokes are terrible. Are they terrible elsewhere too?
