Rubber Suitcase
The Joke
Two ducks and a nude performance artist walk into a bar. One duck says to the other, "Hey, where's my cell phone?" The second duck replies: "I don't know, but the homeless guy by the door just wet his pants."
The Explanation
Not everyone finds pendamagrams to be funny (and I frequently have difficulty "getting" them), so here are a few clues as to why the joke is humorous.
Clue #1: the first duck is wearing socks.
Clue #2: the second duck was once convicted of a hate crime. (Stay with me on this.) Ten years prior to the events described in the joke, the duck slapped a Brooklyn fish-seller named Harmonious Robbins and referred to him as, and I quote, a "Selanesian whore", an offence for which the duck was convicted of the aforementioned crime.
Clue #3: The bartender does not appear in the joke.
Clue #4: The word "duck" does not form an anagram.
Clue #5: The clown, sitting in the corner of the bar, is drinking a cheap dual-malt whiskey. Now, the important thing to note here is that the nude performance artist lost an arm in the Marovian War of 1981. She had worked as a clothed nurse at the time and had come to associate the smell of cheap whiskey with a "differently abled" acrobat named Fairly.
Enjoy.

And the word gullible was removed from the Webster Merridian dictionary in February 2004.

That's not true Sheryl. The word gullible was never in the dictionary to begin with. My high school boyfriend told me that and I believed him.... Oh how I wish that were a joke, but it's not (sigh).

I got duped by that one in high school too, but don't tell anyone. :-)
