Like the things we tell kids and pretend they’re jokes, but by the time they’re nine, they’ve heard real jokes.

I incorrectly read this as “Spider Jerusalem” and was expecting a much more messed up joke…

I misread your comment as “Spider Jesus”. What a cool name.

Heard another classic English one t’other day.

What’s brown and sticky?

Yeah, that’s one of my all-time favorite stupid jokes. Plus it’s more universally understood than, say:

What do you get when you cross an elephant with a zebra?

I texted that joke to my wife while she was at a convention. I can’t tell if she was amused or not.

I think I may have slipped into another dimension (Is it berenstein or berenstain here?), I thought Spider was dead.
