What did the tomato say to the lettuce?
Let's make a salad!
If I was revising to today's comedic standard I would exchange "lettuce" for "carrot" and "Let's" for "Lettuce." Either way, though... hilarious, clearly.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Mary.
Mary who?
Mary the Mother of Jesus!*
*As a non-Catholic, I had a suprisingly strong affinity for the Virgin Mary and played dress-up often by draping a blanket over my head while pretending to ride a donkey. Baby Sis often played the role of Baby Jesus.
** I also had a very strong speech impediment/lisp/word slurring, so "Jesus" was pronounced "Gethuth" while "Mary the Mother" was "Mawee the Mothuh."

I love you.
My younger sister's favorite joke was:
"knock knock"
"who's there?"
"mary"
"mary who"
"mary's in the bathtub"
it cracked her up, she thought she was so clever and to this day it still makes the whole family giggle. she created it when she was around 2 and I was finishing preschool and learning jokes. . .
Haha - CUTE! You should definitely tour and do a comedy act. :)
You have to love a good knock knock joke! :)
I've stopped being spooked by how we're the same- my sis and I would play "Nativity"- I'd be Mary and she'd have to be Joseph! I LOVED baby Jesus. hahahahahaha!
kHm
Hilarious! I was thinking the same thing about the "let's" versus "lettuce" sub...great minds!
