I haven't posted any of these in a while, for various reasons, but I saw some Laffy Taffy at the store today and hey, why not. The first two wrappers were kind of whatever, but the third: wow.

What did the cabbage preacher say to his church?
You know it's going to be a good joke when it starts with this kind of a stretch. Honestly: the cabbage preacher? But okay, let's hear it:
Lettuce pray.
Probably could have seen that coming. But imagine for a second that you lived in a world where sentient produce was a thing. Don't you feel like cabbage would get pissed off if you thought it was lettuce? "What are you saying - all leafy vegetables look the same to you? That is RACIST."

Are people really still naming their children Alfred? Whatever.
What is a parasite?
This is not a question anyone would ask, except as a response on Jeopardy!
Something you see in Paris.
I know the point of the joke - or really "joke" - is just to be a pun, but since this is a pun that only really works aurally and not in print, you end up with this, which is really just a mess. It has the added bonus of effectively looking like racism (well, ethnic stereotyping anyway) - the French are parasites! They're a horrible people, and probably they're unclean too! Word to the wise, Alfred C.: maybe just try and avoid any jokes that stir up unnecessary geopolitical intrigue.
