There aren't a lot, mind you. And your kids might not even get them. But give it a try.
Here's a classic one:
Q What did the Korean mother turkey say to the baby turkey?
A Gobble ji ma (a pun on ������� which means stop playing around)
Another:
Q What did the murder say to the baker while he was shooting him?
A Bang bang you're dead.
One I made up while jogging:
Q What does a Texan say after he's tried Korean banchan?
A Oh deng, that's gooooood! |

That's good! I think the kids might understand because they seem to all know the Terminator movies. |

Fork. I told all these to my girlfriend. The only one that really made her laugh was yours. Now I feel like I got the smallest John Thomas around  |

Maybe it's the child in me, but I like that one. And, I can identify with it. |

Right on!
Here's one the kids told me. I tell it with a lot of drama and suspense.
"So, this little rabbit was riding a skateboard down the street, and a tiger jumped out! He said "GIVE ME YOUR SKATEBOARD!" The rabbit is very scared, so he says "Ÿ �̰�!" (sp?)
(It sounds like "Tiger" when you say it, but it means "Here, ride this!")
This one I made up. My students think it's the funniest thing they've ever heard.
"Which number is the King of All the Numbers?"
"King ��!"
This jokes are better told to large groups, because only 1/3 of the kids get them the first time. Then they start explaining the jokes to each other, so the laughter builds every time a new student suddenly understands it.
I also like to tell the joke about the old woman who goes to the fridge and can't find anything to eat, so she says "O.I.C.U.R.M.T!"
Or the boy who sees a nice-looking girl, and says "U.R.A.Q.T.!" or even "U.R.A.B.U.T.!" |
