Can someone explain?
 

Can someone explain why pickles are funny?

Is it the word Pickle (hard vowels and consonants all mushed up in a word).

Is it because of the shape and look of the pickle? Is it the green bumpy texture?

Why?

I find myself in a pickle, craving pickles that I can no longer pick.

Are pickles still funny when you can't pick them anymore, or does that make them frustratingly not funny? I know they're better crunchy than soggy.
Many of the reasons a cucumber is better than a man are funny, but I don't know that they apply equally to pickles. I think it might be the suggestive shape and the aggressive k sound, with a lick at the end.
More concisely, no, I can't explain why pickles are funny.

I don't know...I have never heard a pickel tell a joke.

Who knows what humours lurk in the hearts of pickles?

Only another pickle is what I'm guessing...

Surely some comedian (or comedienne) has spoken?

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TIME!

WHY ARE YOU FUNNY?

Is that a pickle producing electricity?

That's a kind of funny, inasmuchas we can be tickled by the universe.

Ask this man...

WHY ARE YOU SMILING?

The Motorcycle Song
Arlo Guthrie

CHORUS:
I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want to die
Just want to ride on my motorcy...cle

It was late last night the other day
I thought I'd go up and see Ray
So l went up and I saw Ray
There was only one thing Ray could say, was:

CHORUS

This song is about the time that I was ridin' my motorcycle.
Going down a mountain road, at 150 miles an hour, playin'
my guitar. On one side of the mountain road there was a
mountain, and on the other side there was nothin' - there was
a cliff in the air.

Now, when you're going down a mountain road at I50 miles
an hour you gotta be very careful, especially if you're playin'
a guitar. Especially if that guitar is an acoustic guitar.
Because if it's an acoustic guitar, the wind pressure is greater
on the box side than on the neck side, because there's
more guitar on the box side. I wasn't payin' attention ..

Luckily I didn't go into the mountain - I went over the cliff.
I was goin' at 150 miles an hour sideways and 500 feet down
at the same time.

I knew it was the end. I looked down, I said ''Wow! Some
trip". I thought it...well I knew it was...I knew it was my last
trip, and in my last remaining seconds in world,I decided
to write one last farewell song to the world.

Put a new ink cartridge in my pen. Took out a piece of paper.
I sat back and I thought awhile. Then I started writin':
I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle

And I don't want to die
Just want to ride on my motorcy ...cle."

I knew that, it wasn't the best song l ever wrote, but I didn't
have time to change it. I was comin' down mighty fast.

But as you all know, and as fate would have it, I didn't die. I
landed on the top of a police car. And he died. I drove away
on the road that he was on. I came into town at a screamin'
175 miles an hour, playin' the motorcycle song.

I came into town, I jumped off my bike, the bike went around
the corner by itself, went up on the stand by itself, turned
itself off.

I walked over to my friend. He was standin' there eatin'
pickles. I said "Hi, what's happenin'?" He looked at me in the
eye and said "Nothin'".

You gotta sing it with that kind of enthusiasm. Like you just
squashed a cop...

CHORUS

(eh?) Why would Your Holy Meatiness be showing me pictures of men observing and chewing pickles? An impertinent question, I'm sure, but sometimes when the copitals and the lower-cases are inter-merged, we arise.
("Copitals" used inadvisably!)

I am inscrutable

do not attempt to scrut me.

i am sorry but.........no........i cannot explain.


*where the hell did the pickle fetish of Charlie's come from?*

.........yes.......fetish.

I relish the day when you understand.

Watermelon pickles aren't nearly as suggestive. Or are they?

I don't think Ratbastid is smiling there... it's more like a grimace.

Perhaps the pickle does not relish the thought of being consumed and is trying to fight back... from the inside.

mmmm...pickles and beer!
more beer, more pickles, more beer, hey, what IS that?

that's a left-handed putter...

Manufacturing comedy, one cucumber at a time.

I think it really starts with the cornichon.http://a1692.g.akamai.net/f/1692/204....thumbnail.jpg

Hey, maybe it has something to do with the pickle juice.

Happy Chinese New Year... it is the year of the pig this year and appropriately this pig is driving a pickle car...

I don't know why they are funny, but my name whenever I go bowling is always Pickle. Everyone thinks *that* is amusing.

My younger son tells me that pickles are funny because Ryan is gay.
Yeah, I don't get it either...

Thanks for chiming in on this Pickles... I think I need you to meet me so I can study you closer and see what it is that makes you funny.

what about the olive.

like.......where is the love man.

Pickles are sour,
Pickles are sweet.
The crunch of a pickle
just can't be beat.

Dill, bread and butter,
Sweet little midget.
They are such funny
shaped little widgets.

On sandwiches, burgers,
or just on the side,
The goodness of pickles
is known far and wide.

So here's to you, pickle
Cucumber in brine.
Your taste will delight
the world throughout time.

My poetry skills rock.


No doubt it's my horrible bowling form.

I had some dill, I had some cardamom,
but I didn't have a cucumber, damnit!

-heh?

This pickle looks like he might be from the world of GH

I'm not sure he's funny but, damn it... I don't think you can help but laugh at an angry pickle.

...even if you'd be afraid to eat it.

well, it's a left handed Pickle!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

(frustration)

pickles aren't funny. Sorry, Charlie.

But, despite the fact that the pickle does not relish being consumed, it will become relish from being consumed.

Beware! The pickles watch

and they know what you did.

Without ""webcams"" how could they?
Raw, they couldn't. Pickled, they're dead. In a jar is more mysterious...
Sir, your shoes!

Here you go. They are watching.


Thanks, I could not believe that one myself.


Edit: Question? Anybody know why some boards have HTML Code enabled and some don't

I should have known.
Apparently mustard is in on it too.

Mustard is always in on it.
Is it grey poupon or french's or the colonel?

(just ate some pickled garlic, sorry)

On a hot day in Virginia, I know nothing more comforting than a fine spiced pickle, brought up trout-like from the sparkling depths of the aromatic jar below the stairs of Aunt Sally's cellar."
