The Hobbit Joke
Told to me by a friend during dinner at her house. I claim no ownership over this joke, and hope that both she and her friend aren't mad at me for putting this up. I just wanted to share it with as many people as possible. Please don't blame me for people dying laughing. I'm just passing it on for the entertainment of others.
One of her friends is a teacher, and when she was reading a book to the kids she taught, the word 'bimbo' came up. (They were only nine/ten years old, makes you wonder what book it was, doesn't it?) Immediately one of them cried out,
'Oh, we know what that is!'
How the hell do 10 yr olds know what a bimbo is? They shouldn't, not at that age, I did... but that's beside the point. I'm allowed on grounds of insanity.
'Yes' said another, 'it's got pointy ears...'
At this point my friend's friend was thinking 'What on earth are they going to say next?', and I was nearly choking coz I'd guessed what was coming, and couldn't stop myself laughing.
'... and horrible feet!'
And then a third shouted,
'Yeah, Bimbo Baggins.'
After that the whole table of us started laughing, I had tears of mirth in my eyes, and was half-dead from an immense stitch in my side caused by hysterics on a full stomach. I'm even laughing as I write this!
My first thought after 'Bugger I'm going to die, well at least I'll die happy', was, 'I really need to remember that one coz I'm sure there'll be people on fanfiction and fictionpress who will want to hear it!'
If you think my sense of humour is pathetic there's nothing I can do about it, I was born that way.
