Wrapper 22: Windows and apples

31. Daryl J., Memphis, TN

What did one window say to the other window?


Various potential plays on words here - something with "pane," perhaps?

31. I am in "pane."

At least they got the right homophone in there this time, unlike that coffin/coughing joke from wrapper 7. But pretty bad. Simplest possible usage of "pane," and would it kill you to give the window any impetus to speak this exact sentence?

32. Amber L., Pittston, PA

Why did the apple turnover?


Because that would be delicious?

32. Because he got jealous of the jelly roll.

...man. A real stretch there, Amber L., although I guess bonus points for the relative soundalike of "jealous" and "jelly." I guess "turn over" and "roll" are sort of the same thing, and so that kind of works? But why is the apple jealous? Like he's upset that the jelly was baked into a pastry and he wasn't? Just nonsense.
