tenminutesadayIs this funny at all? I have no idea. I'm sooo tired.

"What's black and white and red all over?"
"Doctor, can't you see I'm reading?"
"What's black and white and red all over?"
"That's not even an original joke."
"Oh, come on, answer me. What's black and white and red all over?"
"A newspaper. A sunburned penguin. An embarassed zebra. A Communist nun. Do I need to go on?"
"No, a toothbrush!"
"What?"
"A toothbrush! You see, on Zafaradel, their toothbrushes - well, technically, it's more like baleen, so I guess they'd be baleenbrushes - there's a law that they have to have white handles and black bristles, and their word for toothbrushing - baleenbrushing - is pronounced 'red'. So, a toothbrush!"
"... That makes no sense, Doctor. I don't know what you're talking about. It's not funny or clever at all."
"You're no fun."
