Well yes, I was. Sorry, I explained myself badly... I am looking for more absurdist jokes. The ones I have involve elephants (a very absurd animal, really) and so I titled the post "Elephant Jokes". But really, the elephants are immaterial - I actually want jokes that depend for their humor value on being totally surreal or absurd - doing something clever with reality, hopefully.

The interesting thing about these jokes, to me, is the way they play with the concept of a joke as the basis for their humor - sort of a meta-joke. The funny thing about the elephant-giraffe exchange is not the actual content of the joke, but the fact that the elephants referred to are 'remembered' from joke to joke rather than just treated as a disposable placeholder as they are in most other jokes - it's making fun of our concept of humor and the class of jokes like "blond jokes" or "priest jokes".

Anyway, what I'm really looking for is more like that, not more involving elephants. Of course, the fact that all my jokes involved elephants and that I posted with the title "elephant jokes" didn't really cause that message to come across.... For that, I apologise. But the sheep tampon jokes, as funny as they may be, don't really excite me as much as my 'elephant' jokes.
