Wrapper 27: Plants and Ducks

43. Sharon S., Sandy Hook, CT

What kind of plant do you put in a cake?


Well, sugar and flour both come from plants. I'd probably start with those two plants.

43. Flower.

Weak. Not least because flour comes from wheat, which is also a plant. Like, it's much more clever if you're punning off something that doesn't already fit your stupid setup.

Why don't ducks tell jokes while they are flying?


Because they are ducks and can't talk?

44. Because they would quack up.

Okay, see, it hasn't really been established why that would be a problem for the ducks. Shouldn't this joke just have been, "What does a duck do when he hears a joke? He quacks up!" It may not be funny but at least it makes sense.
