Kyle, Luke and I have a Thanksgiving tradition. We take a walk up the hill and make a big loop ending up at Noah’s Bagels downtown for breakfast. We play “come up with a joke on the spot,” where if it is your turn you have to come up with a joke which is then graded by the others. One means don’t even think about it and ten means get David Letterman on the phone. Of course, we usually fancy our own jokes but Luke came up this one which I thought was pretty darn good. Kyle wasn’t impressed. Here it is:
Sherlock Holmes [we've been watching a lot of him recently] and Dr. Watson are outside looking at rocks. Dr. Watson picks up a rock and says, “Holmes, look! This is an igneous rock!” Sherlock strokes his chin and says, “Oh no, no, no! Sedimentary, my dear Watson!”
What would you give it?
