The best joke I've heard all day (slight return)

Pages

So, did you hear the one about the cameleon walking down the street who turned into a store?

Does it make me a bad person that I took a second to think about it, and then laughed really hard?

No....just slow.

Much love.

Actually, it took me a second, too. Not unlike many many bad jokes in the back of a Boy's Life magazine. Apparently, I watch too much children's television and it has dulled my senses. Perhaps I should sharpen my mind by reading more in gripping and informative P&C threads.

Aside from the fact that it took an animated character to explain why this was funny, I still laughed. I love jokes in this line: puns and well turned phrases.

Slow? What do you ... ohhh.

I am not!

What`s a cameleon?

Chameleons are shapeshifters, now?

Clever, but not funny.

I prefer Jay Leno's recent gem: "Boy it was so hot today, I was sweating more than Jessica Simpson trying to put a CD into her iPod".

In Goodgerland, that means we have to kill him now.

The above incorrectly spelled lizard name and knowing that it looked wrong but not spell checking are further proof that I have been demoted in brain power to toddler time.

Surely someone has a funnier pun type joke?

A pirate walks into a bar with a rope hangling from the front of his pants, and a steering wheel attached to the rope.

The bartender looks at him, and says "So I have to ask, what's with the steering wheel?"

The pirate replies "Argggh, it's driving me nuts!"

A pirate walks into a bar, and grunts "Arrghh...ouch!"

EDIT:

*sigh*

I linked the wrong post.

Someone here will know this:

What's long, brown and sticky?

A stick!

Yes!

It could be poo, you know.

It could be poo, you know.

Holy Crap!

A stick with poo?

Puns, eh? Used to work with a guys who was kinda famous for them. Here's a couple of his favourites:

After hearing strange noises in the woods, two campers found shelter in a log cabin. Suddenly, there were two fuzzy faces in a window. "What's that?" asked one. "I dunno," shrugged the other. "Bears looking into."

Ever heard of a proud pygmy tribe in the South Pacific? They stand about about 3' tall and run around in 4' grass screaming "We're the Fakawi!"

"Very interesting... but not funny."

We're the Fakawi isn't bad.

I don't get it. Anyone help me out? Is it some kind of pun because he turns to walk into that store, and that he doesn't turn into a store himself? I guess.

He somehow polymorphed into a store, is the joke, I think.

A hump-backed ship of the desert whose coloring allows him to blend with his natural environment.

That's very funny. Shapeshifter/shadeshifter, I've always been dyslexic like that.

I suspect Luda is having the same problem that Morrolan is having. The preposition that this 'joke' hinges on loses it's double entrendre when written instead of spoken. Parsing the written structure of a pun-oriented joke will kill it every time. Luda, Morrolan, if it helps, I can give you a call, so you can get the aural version of this imitation humor. Or, this just might not be funny.

Sigh, I also don't get it.

I enjoyed the steering-wheel pirate though! Yarrrr!

I'm fairly certain that the overly-subtle irony is that the best joke heard all day was the sad piece of punny.

That is so punny, I forgot to laugh....

I didn't get it either, but I was too ashamed to post about it

Is it necrophilia if she was alive when I started?

EDIT: Sorry, slightly off topic.
