The Awful Joke Thread.

It's dead now, but there's still some good ones to read.

A kid comes home from school really quite excited and beside himself. As he runs in the kitchen and throws his bag down, he father asks what all the commotion is about.

"It's great dad! I managed to land a big part in the school play!"

"Well, that's fantastic! Congratulations! What is your role?"

"I'm going to play the husband."

His father makes a concerned face for a moment and then says, "That's ridiculous. You march right back down to the school this instant and demand a speaking role!"
