Something like
Q:"How do you get a girrafe into a fridge"
A:"Open the door and push it in"


Q:"How do you get an Elephant into the fridge"
A:"Take out the giraffe first"

There's also a rider, which is left until a couple of jokes later (usually)

Q:"The King of the Jungle called a meeting and all the animals came, except one- who was it?"
A:"The elephant. He's still stuck in the fridge."


... Just for you, Tari!

Diarrhea is the U.S. spelling, diarrhoea is the U.K. spelling.

I hope that those people who have your goat don't harm it.

We don't normally get too upset about speling mistaks around here. I didn't even mention frigidare, for example. Now double posts...............:-)
