This thread got tl ; dr.
I guess because I have a sense of humor I'm not even able to crack a smile at this thread :@
Someone just posted this one on another board I go to. I think it counts.
-----------------
A man and woman fall in love, and after several months decide to get married. Nine months to the day after their honeymoon, they have a beautiful baby boy.
The boy was very much loved, and when he was two could talk rather well. His father took him aside one day and said, "Son, I think you're a very smart little boy, and I want to get you a present for talking so well. Just name what you want and it's yours!"
The little boy looked up at his father with his big blue eyes and said, "Daddy, I want a pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball."
Dad thinks this is weird, but he loves his son and goes to several shops before finding a little novelty shop that carries the pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong balls. Of course, the little boy was overjoyed.
This ended up becoming a tradition, and for each special occasion and milestone, the boy gets a pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball.
He graduates from Kindergarten. Pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball.
Does well in a violin solo in fifth grade. Pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball.
Gets into National Honor Society. Pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball.
When the boy was sixteen, his mother ended up dying of cancer. The dad went into his room and sat down next to him on the bed.
"Son, I miss your mother very much...And I know you do too. There isn't anything I can do to bring her back, but if there is anything that will help you feel better, just let me know."
The boy nodded gravely and said softly, "Just get me another pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball, please."
Of course, he got him one.
A few years later, the boy graduated from high school, and of course, his gift from his father was a pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball. He had been accepted into a prestigious university with a full scholarship, and his father was very proud.
Sadly, less than a month after graduation, the boy was in a car accident. His father was informed that he wasn't expected to last through the night, so on the way to the hospital, he stopped at the gift shop and got his son one last pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball.
The father walked into the ICU and sat down next to his son's prone form, taking his cold hand and placing the pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong ball in it. They boy looked over at his father and smiled weakly and his father looked at him with tears in his eyes.
"Son, I love you so much...Say hello to your mother for me. But before you go, I want you to just do one thing for me. Can you please tell me why you always want pink and purple polka-dot ping-pong balls?"
The boy nodded gravely, staring at his father intensely. He took a deep shuddering breath, inhaled, and said, "Well..."
And he died.

I swear I've heard about half of these jokes (or variations of them) when watching various Jimmy Carr things. There should be a Jimmy Carr quotes thread. For jokes and anti-jokes. Yes.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
