herbert,
If you can't get the humor in these, try reading them out loud. :idea: I liked this one:
Q. What does the word 'benign' mean?
A. Benign is what you will be after you be eight (brilliant)
:roll-laugh2:
but benign means graciousness
"Benign" pronounced as the phrase "be nine," implies that the person understood as the question as "What does the word "be nine" mean?" To be nine [years of age] is "what you will be after you be [sic] eight" would the correct response if the question was really what this individual thought it was.
I had to repeat this joke to myself several times before I got it. Some of these are tricky to follow, but they're really fun if you employ some effort. It is like the satisfaction of cracking a walnut would make the treat more tasty than if it had been acquired directly without having to have worked to crack the shell.
