I was recently introduced to the genre of no-arms-and-no-legs jokes. Here are some good ones off the internet (multiple sites):
1. What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs on a pile of leaves?
Russell
2. What do you call two guys with no arms and no legs hanging around your window?
Curt and Rod
3. What do you call a girl with no arms and one leg shorter than the other?
Eileen
And here's my contribution to the genre:
4. What do you call a girl with no arms and no legs who was maimed in the Rwandan genocide?
Tootsie

Daughter. Mommy I still can't see.
Mother. April Fool!
I got this one from W.H. Auden's essay "Notes on the Comic," in The Dyer's Hand.
Mrs. Santini, Mrs. Santini, we're playing baseball! Can Jimmy come out to play?
ReplyDeleteNow Eric, you know very well Jimmy has no arms and legs.
He can be first base!
Yeah I unaccountably forgot about that one.
