Punch lines can be fun, and funny, all by themselves. People who heard the joke are quickly reminded of the humor — and people who haven’t, get to guess what the joke was that led to the punch line.
Here is the punch line to one of my favorite jokes:
“No, you don’t understand. ‘Chunks’ is my dog.”
Feel free to put your favorite punch lines in the comments.

No, Padre, it’s not a miracle, just a matter of professional curtesy.
Black Jack (d8da01) — 4/1/2006 @ 9:06 am“That is Jesus Christ. He thinks he’s Jack Nicklaus.”

jinnmabe (7da6d1) — 4/2/2006 @ 8:07 am#29 Craigc – You are probably right. I wouldn’t want to see it in print anywhere near this blog. And for recognizing a joke I haven’t heard repeated in over 30 years the 25 Patterico Bucks go to you. Don’t spend them all in one place.
BTW: Does your version include the use of a two by four for safety purposes?
Dr. Deano (7f152b) — 4/2/2006 @ 8:51 amSee-Dubya:
Indeed it did, but it’s a prime example of why no one should rely too heavily on any one source for debunking urban legends – at least, not if that one source happens to be Snopes. Had you linked to the same URL a day or two before the last update, you’d have found a cock-sure “proof” that the incident didn’t happen.
Xrlq (5938d1) — 4/2/2006 @ 9:02 am“Maybe if you pet him real nice, he’ll let you.”

Black Jack (d8da01) — 4/2/2006 @ 10:27 amHaaaaaaaa, RLS. Damn, how could I forget that? That’s one of my favorite jokes.
Dr. Deano, yes, of course the 2X4 is in there. Well, not in there, but…..
What are Patterico bucks?
CraigC (8e5f52) — 4/2/2006 @ 11:23 amJust for you, RLS:
“Because he can.”
CraigC (8e5f52) — 4/2/2006 @ 11:30 am#31: If I’m not mistaken, “Oh, you’ll hate Thursdays” isn’t the punchline, it’s two lines before the punchline, is it not?
“So the girl comes home from her honeymoon, and her parents say, ‘Delilah, hat gut gemacht?'”
Voice of Reason (d427f3) — 4/2/2006 @ 11:37 am“Do you really believe I would’ve wished for a 12-inch pianist?”
McGehee (5664e1) — 4/2/2006 @ 2:03 pmDammit, I told you no singing!

Darleen (f20213) — 4/2/2006 @ 3:22 pmFor some reason, I have golf jokes on the brain.
“Oh, hell, no. She’s left-handed.”
“Don’t do it. I tried it and took an eight!”
“Hit the ball, drag Harry. Hit the ball, drag Harry.”
CraigC (8e5f52) — 4/2/2006 @ 3:48 pmVoice of Reason, it is “Man, you’re gonna hate Fridays,” but does it really matter? Also one of my favorite jokes.
CraigC (8e5f52) — 4/2/2006 @ 3:51 pm“Yes, plactically evely day.”
Xrlq (576284) — 4/2/2006 @ 4:16 pmDamn! Then some asshole’s got my pencil!

Omnibus Driver (763c83) — 4/3/2006 @ 10:09 am“I almost said something when Mabel fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars.”
“Chili and ice tea.”
Harry Arthur (40c0a6) — 4/3/2006 @ 11:48 amNow the real question is how many of these jokes can you tell in the presence of your kids, wife (or significant other), your mother or your minister.
I’m thinking the list shrinks some …?

RLS (0516f0) — 4/5/2006 @ 8:33 amYeah, but that damn calf over there is an orphan.
Alan Kellogg (6a4acc) — 4/6/2006 @ 6:56 amOkay, I’ll keep an eye out for you.
punslinger (ba56cc) — 4/9/2006 @ 7:10 amArrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhhhh! And it’s driving me nuts!
