Why did the pig want to be an actor?


By the way, I have no idea. The riddle is on the end of my popsicle (the end you hold). The answer is under the popsicle so you have to wait a bit until I eat the thing for the answer...

Guesses?

A: He was a ham.

I *JUST* read this one not long ago!

For the record, I didn't get it.

Originally in the Oxford English Dictionary
ham n. 1 meat from the upper part of a pig's leg salted and dried or smoked. 2 an inexpert or unsubtle actor or piece of acting.

Does that help?

I remember a MASH episode where Hawkeye had something like that, but I just never really made that connection. Interesting. :)

I think that, better than the above question and answer, would be "Why do pigs make poor actors? / Because they ham things up too much."

Yep, you got it (those popsicle sticks need to get up earlier to fool you guys!). Ummm, it was stupid, but I've noticed that popsicle sticks and dixie cups need to hire better joke writers.

It would make more sense if the riddle was:

"Why did the pig want to be a comedian?"

i remember the terrible jokes they used to have on chippie (AKA crisp) packets...
the sort of cringe making jokes people laugh at only because they are so pathetic...
it isnt that hard to find good jokes, why do they not use them?

That I cannot answer. What's funny is that the kids buy these joke books and read them to eachother. They don't get it and I have to explain the punchline to them and that the 'joke' isn't all that funny. They are just left confused...

Funny... sometimes I find myself having to explain my own jokes (and yes, I have found that it does take quite a bit away from the humor). I always figured it was because my wit was so much quicker and more advanced than anyone else in the room's....

That is the reason, right? :confused:

It has always been my experience that if you have to explain a joke... it's NEVER funny.

Here is my favorite joke... and some people just don't get it and I have to explain it to them...

A lion is walking around the jungle basting it all it's glory. He know that he was the king of the jungle and was the greatest thing that God ever made. He came upon a Giraffe.
"Look at you! With your long neck and stupic spots, you are not even worthy of my presence... why don't you just get the hell out of my way?" So the giraffe just lowered it's head and got out of the way of the mighty lion.
The lion kept on going, and he came upon an elephant. "Look at how fat you are! You are too fat to even move. You don't have any fur and your skin is just disgusting. Why don't you just get out of my sight?" So the elephant saldy walked away.
The lion walked a little more, and came to a watering hole. In the water was a little tiny frog. The lion walked up to the frong and said "In all my years in this jungle, I have never seen anything as ungly as you. You are the most pitiful looking thing God ever made."
The little frog looked up at the lion and said 'Fu*k you... I've been sick"

LOL
i like it :D

not sure Chicken, but does the answer have anything to do with Rosie O'Donnell?

*ouch* I think JKLIVIN has a future in stand up...
