The Rabbit Joke

* Although some offense may be provoked, no real rabbits were hurt in the making of this post.*

You know that really funny joke that so-and-so told you, but you just can't remember how it goes? And then you give so-and-so a call just to be reminded of the joke so that you can pass on the humour it bares.

I once heard a theory about this problem. The problem being that we tend to remember the stupid jokes and can never remember the funny ones. Well, the theorist in question suggested that laughter (being good medicine, and all) helps people forget.

So, the more you laugh, the more you forget. Thus, the funnier the joke, the least likely you'll be to remember it. Hmm, interesting, no?

Which brings me to a joke I do remember (decide for yourself how funny it is). A friend came over for coffee last night and I felt it was necessary to introduce him to Jasmine. They got along famously, and while she was sniffling in his post-workout armpit, he shared this story of the rabbit and the bear:

The rabbit and the bear were walking through the forest when the bear asked, "Rabbit, do you have that problem where your crap sticks to your fur?"

"Yeah!" said the rabbit, "All the time!"

"Oh, good!" said the bear. He picked the rabbit up and wiped his bum with him.
