Flack's Daily Smack

In "I want a New Duck, I always thought he was saying "get down"... as in "duck!". Immediately after, he says, "Get It?!" Heh... I guess all this time I didn't.

Hah! You know, I never even thought of that. Could it be a three-way punchline?

When I was a kid there was one joke I didn't get for the longest time:

 

Q: How do you get down from an Elephant?

A: You don't get down from an Elephant! You get down from a Duck!

 

To add to the confusion the book had a picture of a giant duck with a ladder leaning against it.

 

Years later, I heard the Weird Al song and when he said the "get down" line, I got it. It took the trauma of not getting the Elephant joke, but I got it.

 

I still don't get the Three Stooges divot joke. I know what a divot is but I still don't get it. Five holes in a divot. So?

According to some Google links, divot actually is slang for toupee.

 

One joke I can think of goes back to 6th grade, when a friend of mine commented about a female classmate, "Generally speaking, she's generally speaking." I thought he meant she spoke in generalities. But nearly 20 years later it came to me: He was saying that she was a chatterbox.
