The seventh graders keep telling me this joke, and I still don't get it.

Two oranges are sitting in a bathtub. One of them asks the other "Could you please pass me the shampoo?" And the other orange says, "What am I, a typewriter?!"

Yeah...it's not supposed to make sense. That's why it's "funny". I remember telling a joke very similar to that when I was in 7th grade and thinking it was hilarious.

Here's a pertinent historical conversation (you may have to cut and paste the link...) --

[I like the one about Zorn's Lemon.]

Or, as Groucho Marx once said, "If you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce, they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does."

Hope this helps.
