Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One

Posted by Mark in Mark's Sketchbook

In my improv class it’s rare to hear a recited joke, but one of my classmates felt it was relevant to the conversation:

Why did the elephant paint his toenails?

Because he was hiding in the rose bushes.

Cue 10 minutes of banter about elephants and toenails. Improv is a lot of fun.

    My friend informs me that I got the joke all wrong, but diplomatically insists my version is cuter. The original: “Why did the elephant paint his toenails red? So he could hide in the strawberry patch.” D’oh!
