A Joke Gone Awry



When I was a young gal I happened to hear the following joke...

Q: What is black and white black and white black and white?
A: A nun rolling down a hill.

When the joke was told people laughed and I tried to remember the joke to tell my Mom. Unfortunately, I am not Catholic and I did not know what a nun was. I thought that they had said none instead of nun. So, my retelling of the joke was not as effective. Here is how I recounted the joke to my Mom...

Q: What is black and white black and white black and white?
A: A nothing rolling down the hill.

So, began my career in comedy.

That was the funniest joke I'd ever heard!! As I recall, I was home sick when you first heard the joke and I thought it was so sweet that you were concerned that I'd missed out. Once Dad helped me understand how the joke and morphed, I laughed and laughed. I've retold it many, many times.

I don't know why you think you can't tell a joke. I'm laughing so hard. Please keep telling jokes or should I say remodeling jokes. :)
