The Peacock 318

 

"Time for some jokes", Carl says.

"Family friendly jokes, please?" implores Sarah.

"Adams Family friendly"

"How about knock knock jokes?"says Aaron

"You start", say I.

"Knock knock"

"Who´s there?"

"Crimea

"Crimea who?"

Aaron sings, "Cry me a river, cry me a river, I've cried a river over you."

"Oh please!"

"Oh  please who?"

"Oh please you!" says Carl laughing.

"Here's another one", Aaron says.  It's the  post thermonuclear war knock knock joke.  "Knock knock".

"Who´s there" says Carl.

There is silence.  Aaron sits stoically, resisting the little grin that is trying to take form on his pursed lips.  Soon we are all laughing.

"Have you heard the Polish knock knock joke?" says Aaron

"No, how does it go", says Sarah.

"You start."

"Okay.  Knock knock."

"Who's there?"

After she clues in that she has been duped, Sarah collapses in a paroxysm of helpless laughter.  "I happen to be half Polish, you asshole", she almost squeals while laughing with her head bowed, shaking all over....
