joke show

I am a comic. I don't get paid for it but my kids will readily tell you that I like to have fun in my class. I love to hear people laugh and even more so if I make them do it. But what I really enjoy is losing myself in a hearty laughter that makes your abs hurt. So when I found this old NPR radio show that I heard a few years ago, I knew I needed to link to it.

Garrison Keillor is well know for his Prarie Home Companion and Lake Wobegon stories but once a year he turns his show over to the annual joke show. Here's a sample of a few of them. Enjoy! (link to the show above)


An old Jew and an old chinaman are walking down the street, when suddenly the Jew turns and hits the chinaman, knocking him to the ground. "Hey, what was that for"?, asks the chinaman. "That was for Pearl Harbor", said the Jew. "That was the Japanese, you idiot. I am Chinese". "Chinese, Japanese, what's the difference", said the Jew.
They continue on their way, when suddenly the Chinaman turns and hits the Jew, knocking him to the ground. "Hey, what was that for"?, asks the Jew. "That was for the Titanic", said the Chinaman. "The Titanic!? That was an iceburg, you idiot". The Chinaman replied, "Iceburg, Goldburg, what's the difference".
