Can you remember the first joke you ever heard? [View all]

Last edited Thu Dec 8, 2011, 04:13 PM - Edit history (1)

My older brother told me my first joke when I was four (yikes! Over fifty years ago!)

A prisoner tunnels his way out of jail and into a manhole. He climbs up the manhole, pops the lid, and jumps out into the street. He is so happy, he dances around shouting "I'm free! I'm free!" but a little boy standing on the corner watching says, "So what? I'm four!"

And then he told me this one:

A man jumps out of the window of a high building and crashes to the sidewalk below. A crowd gathers around and a cop pushes and shoves his way through the crowd.
"Alright, alright! What's going on here?"
The man looks up from the sidewalk and says, "I don't know, I just got here."
