happy belated father’s day

here’s a joke my dad used to tell me as a kid.

dad: how do you get an elephant into a refrigerator? here’s a hint: it only takes three steps.

(at this point, my brother and i would guess stuff like “push the elephant in slowly, lock the door quickly behind him” or “get a really big refrigerator, find a really small elephant, lure the elephant inside.”)

dad: nope, all your guesses were wrong. give up? here’s the answer: open the door, put the elephant inside, close the door.

me and my brother: …..

dad: okay, how do you get a hippo into a fridge? this takes four steps.

(more wild guesses involving the hippo, the size of the fridge, and various other combos of the two.)

dad: nope, those are wrong. it’s so easy, guys. open the door, take the elephant out, put the hippo in, close the door.

me and my brother: ………………

happy father’s day.
