There are 2 jokes I never stop telling. I love jokes. I like to hear jokes. I used to hear a lot of them. Times change a lot of jokes offend too many people. I know a lot of jokes, and a lot that I can never tell again, they are really bad by today's standards. And I agree that some shouldn't be told. they are too mean. But you know, it is practically a definiton of a joke that it is at the expense of others. These two are good to make a kid appreciate a good joke, and ones they can tell. A good joke from a 7 year old is priceless. I tell these to every kid I can .
1. This is hard to understand if you are not an American. So I will try to do it justice.

Every time I get one of these quarters in change (it is a 1/4 or a quarter of a United States dollar, or 25 cents where 100 cents is a dollar, hence the name quarter) from a store I find someone with kids and I ask them, "See the horse there. Do you know what kind of horse that is?" Of course, I now live in Arizona which is cowboy country (I got a good story about that), so long time residences here try to guess, "what, a Thoroughbred, a Paint, a Mustang?" Newer to Arizona folks just usually say "I dont know horses" So I tell them, come on it is easy, just look at it, and it goes back and forth. They dont know I tell them it is easy, come on. Finally I relent and say? Come on, it a QUARTER horse...." and laugh maniacally. Then I give them the quarter and elicit a promise to get them to teach it to their kids.
2. Then there is the classic. Two guys walking in the woods. They see a bear. One guys takes off his backpack and furiously starts to change into his sneakers from his hiking boots. The other guy cries, what are you DOING you cant out run a BEAR. And the other guys calmly says I don't have to, I just have to out run you.
Enlist them young, and keep the jokes coming.
