In honor of Presidents Day, I'm going to share with you some jokes we've been making up and telling around here recently. Over and over again. Especially the 2nd one. And the last one.
Q: What president always loses staring contests?
A: Abraham Blinkin'
Q: What president smells bad?
A: Abraham Stinkin'
Q: What president keeps getting smaller and smaller?
A: Abraham Shrinkin'
Q: What president is always thirsty?
A: Abraham Drinkin'
Q: What president likes to flirt?
A: Abraham Winkin'
This went on for awhile until we started running out of good rhymes and things began to degenerate. I believe the last Lincoln joke was:
Q: Which president was part squid?
A: Abraham Inkin'
I tried to switch presidents with this one (such a mom, I know):
Q: Which president had a lot of laundry?
A: George Washing-ton
to which my 6 year old one-upped me with:
Q: Which president threw up a lot?
A: George BARFINGTON!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahaha!
...ok, all done.
If you're still here and game for more silliness, check out a favorite from the Animaniacs. There's also a book the boys love that we reach for time and again called, So You Want To Be President, by Judith St. George.
* with the last name "White", we often have news "from The White House". Of course, White is my married name, so I've only been able to have fun with it for 12 years or so. My husband and his side of the family have been using the joke forever! As well as having a White Christmas, a White Wedding, etc.*

Oh man! These are really funny! Thanks for the good laugh.
Very Funny! I will be sharing these with my kids, for sure!
My cousin married into a family of Whites. At the rehearsal dinner some guy got up to make a toast to the "white boys" and he was going on and on about how great the "white boys" were. My mom was totally offended until she finally realized he meant the "White boys." You can get a lot of mileage out of you last name.
Too funny! I bet your boys missed you. Looks like you had a great get away at the convention.
LOL, you've made my day. I can't wait for my husband to come home. One never outgrows the love of bad jokes.
Hehehe... I like your president day jokes. Nice start to the day.
I wish I was still teaching... the kids would love your riddles. Cute!!
Thanks for sharing all about CHA. For those of us who can't be there, it's fun to have a peek.

THANK YOU for the link to the Animaniacs! That takes me back to childhood, and I'd nearly forgotten about that clip.
As a family stuck in 'Uranus' jokes, I am happy to pass along your Presidential funnies. :) Those are great.
We checked out 'So You Want to be a President' and the kids love it so much, I'm thinking about adding it into our book selection. Mike Venezia also has a great series on Presidents...part Far Side, part history.
