Help with this joke...I don't get it....
Edited on Fri Jan-02-04 01:48 AM by rumguy
I heard this on New Year's Eve...never had a chance to ask for clarification...

"How did the mailbox get its shape?

- A shark stuck its head in it."

What am I missing here, if anything?

3. No, see, the real joke is:
What's the difference between an orange?
A shark because vests don't have sleeves.

Lotsa people make that mistake, you just missheard it....

8. Wild guess here...
Is "shark" a slang term for penis?

If so, maybe it's:

"How did the male box get its shape?

-A shark (penis) stuck its head in it."

Like I said, wild guess. Maybe I need to get my mind out of the gutter!

13. maybe because
a mailbox is curved, like a shark's face. I dunno. At any rate, where can I get some of the drugs whoever thought up that joke was using?
