Prehistoric Humor

Archie and Carter were telling jokes at the breakfast table. Generally, Archie will chuckle, or even guffaw, at about anything, but Carter likes to be certain that Archie understands just why the joke is funny.

(Funny, considering my memories of Carter at Archie’s age, sitting at the “boy’s table” with Robby sharing knock knock jokes like:

knock knock
who’s there?
potato!
Ah, HAHAHAHAHAHA!

but, as usual, I digress)

So Carter tells a joke:

Carter: Why wasn’t Sue afraid of the shark?

Archie: I don’t know.

Carter: Because it was a man-eating shark.

lots of guffaws.

Carter: Do you know why that’s funny, Archie?

Archie: ummm, No.

Carter: Because Sue is actually a dinosaur.

Yeah. That’s why it’s funny.
