As a teenager, I once had to ride in a van with 5 kids (of no relation to me) all the age of psudo-joke telling for 2 hours.
2 solid hours of Random Child: "Why did the cat cross the road?" Me: *silence* Child: "Come on! Guess guess" *sticky jam coated fingers poke at my face* Me: *groan in frustration* "I don't know, why?" Child: "He wanted to get to the McDonalds!" *raucous child laughter ensues*
If this isn't covered in the Geneva convention, it should be. Closest I've ever been to experiencing hell.... Either way, it was a damned good argument for Birth Control in my opinion.
And of course, they didn't get the sophistication of my more "grown-up" jokes.... Child: "Now you tell one!" Me: "Fine. Why did the possum cross the road?" Child: "Why?" Me: "He didn't." Child: *looks at me in confusion* "It'd be better if he went to McDonalds...." Me: *wonders if temporary insanity would hold up as a defense in court when I'm on trial for infanticide*
And what's really annoying is that I know I probably went through a stage of this too...
