A Joke

On the way to the dentist last Monday, Ricky and Billy were having a discussion in the backseat.

Ricky – “Hey, Billy, I know a joke.  What kind of cake do you make with a pan?”

Billy – “I know, a pancake.”

Ricky – (whisper) “No, Billy, say ‘I don’t know.’ What kind of a cake do you make with a pan?”

Billy – “I don’t know.”

Ricky – “A PANCAKE!  ha ha ha ha!”

Billy – (totally straight-faced) “I already said that.”

Ricky – “But that’s what you say when someone says a joke.  You say, ‘I don’t know.'” (followed by a big sigh)

I’m sure glad Billy has a big brother to teach him these things!
