 Groaners of the Week - Animal Crackers

Special request from an unnamed reader: "Hey, Garry, can you write a short joke about a hungry elephant?"

Sure, entirely credible (yet strangely anonymous) reader: An elephant finds a peanut. He's so hungry that he picks up the peanut in his trunk and eats it. That is my truncated joke. 

What kind of boots does a hippopotamus wear in the water? Hippo waders.

Where do you find giraffe beer? Any bar that serves long necks.

What should an actor wear to a cattle call audition in Hawaii? A muumuu.

Where do snakes molt? In the shed.

Why are ladybugs bad at hiding? They are frequently spotted.

What's the difference between a French Impressionist and a grizzly bear? One is Claude Monet and the other has clawed many.


It's (Ad)Just a Joke

This week's joke that will be re-adjusted comes from joker Jass Richards on the Funny Short Jokes site:

How many swimmers does it take to change a light bulb?

Don’t know yet. They keep getting electrocuted.

My take:

How many swimmers does it take to change a light bulb?

At least two, but they need to be synchronized.
