Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWhat was the first dirty joke you ever heard?
Mine was this: Jack Benny told Marilyn Monroe that he wanted to park his car in her garage. I didn't have any idea of what that meant, yet it must've made some impression on me because I've remembered it for more than 60 years. And I don't remember jokes.
Nora Hale told it to me in the girls' bathroom in Capitol Elementary School in 1954.
Do you remember your first?

Seriously. Im curious to know what becomes of little girls who told jokes like that.

(67,086 posts)should not say them here. The funny part is way way back none of the schools were air-conditioned. The nurse's office was in the basement and had basement windows. It was summer, her frosted window was partially opened and was adjacent to the playground. We were sitting on the window ledge. She heard it! The four of us ended up in the principal's office promising never to talk like that again.

(62,444 posts)Was that up at the old place in Toughkennamon, or the new place with the golf course?
Or I should ask whether it was at the old, old place in Toughkennamon. When they started, it was at the Sons of Italy hall. The food was downstairs and the show was upstairs. Then they built the one in Delaware.
But... did you get the bread turtle, and have to do that, um, dance?

"Who's there?"
"Madame."
"Madame who?"
"Madame shoe got caught in the door."
Me and my girl cousin either heard it or we made it up. Don't recall. Been decades. We said it back and forth to each other and always laughed in naughty hysterics. 😄
Alright, it weren't dirty. But the first cuss word we ever uttered.

(4,483 posts)"Hell"-mans mayonnaise. Seriously. I couldn't believe they allowed that to be printed right there, on the bottle, where everyone could see it.
Well, and then there was "Polish it on the stairs," which to this day my family knows will send me into cramp-enducing snorts of laughter.

(2,396 posts)Because I leaned over from the back seat of our '49 Ford and told it to my parents on a long car trip. They corrected me that it was inappropriate but I bet at least my dad secretly laughed and later told it to his buddies at the poker game. I was probably in the fourth grade.
Incidentally, the poker game buddies were all law enforcement and once in high school, it was at our house. I came home blasted on LSD while it was in progress and said my hellos. It was the early days of acid so nobody noticed. Ah, the folly of youth

Anyway.
I told a joke I didn't understand and caused a great uproar within the group. It was a joke I heard older kids tell.
Older women, 60's plus, in the gathering, and I was so traumatized by their reaction to me it was years later until I finally got the joke.
I mean a lot of years.
I didn't even think about the joke for a long time.
I told my mom the joke and she sent me on my way and told me not to worry about it. She wasn't upset with me. She was upset with the women. Though I wasn't privy to that discussion.
"Why did the boy swim on his back?" (So the fish wouldn't get his worm)
