Every board needs one of these. The rules are simple. Someone posts the punchline to a joke, everyone else has to work out what the joke was. Whoever gets it first posts the next punchline. We'll start with an easy one:

Alright, you're an ambulance.

Call me an ambulance.

Another simple one to get us going -

Alright, you're a taxi!

"Call me a taxi"

Something like "Why did the boy throw the clock out of the window"?

Punchline:

"He sat up all night wondering if there really is a dog."

FarSide, has your joke got something to do with dogs and their linguistic abilities? ;D

BTW, I have a sign on the wall which says "Let me show you my linguistic prowess -and I might get round to the translating later."

Whatever that means. It was a present.

I'll have to go with "Why do dogs lick their balls?" This is a bit too much of a clue really. Which is lucky, becaues I'd never have got it otherwise.
