Minitaur has learned his first knock-knock joke, and it's hysterical to hear him trying to get it right. Usually he flubs it and jumps right in with "who's there" even though that's supposed to be my (or my husband's) line.
Minitaur: Knock knock
Me: Who's there?
Mini: Banana
Me: Banana who?
Mini: Banana banana
(Important: repeat joke twice)
Mini: Knock knock
Me: Who's there?
Mini: Orange
Me: Orange who?
Mini (giggling): Orange you glad I didn't say banana?
Heh heh. I think he's almost ready for the Borscht belt. We Googled a bunch more and had a few yuks, but now I'm inspired. I noted that there's a serious dearth of Jewish knock-knock jokes, which is inexplicable considering our immense contributions to comedy and all that.
So I'm here to correct this terrible deficit and maybe change the world with my very first, self-authored knock-knock joke:
Me: Knock knock
You: Who's there?
Me: Chaim
You: Chaim who?
Me: Chaim so chappy to see you!
Ahahaha! I crack myself up.
More to come when I think of some. Hey, that rhymes! Where do I get this stuff?
Clearly, it's a lack of sleep.

Jewish knock-knock jokes would require a great deal of audience participation. It took Johnny Carson nearly thirty years to train his audience to respond with "How (blank) was he?"
I was trying to write a Jewish knock knock joke about Hummers, but then my mind wandered to Bill Clinton and the joke was lost.
Wait, I just thought of one!
Knock knock.
WHO'S THERE?
Issac.
ISSAC WHO?
Issac and I can't go to school today.
You may groan now. For the record, my Gentile knock knock jokes are bad too.
Knock knock.
WHO'S THERE?
Luke.
LUKE WHO?
Luke at me, I'm standing at your front door!

Very funny. My groan-meter registers a 9, at least.
