Wrapper 34: No quarter

141. Tessa W., Jema, LA

What gives a ghost the right to scare you?

Ghosts care not for your human laws.

141. A haunting license.

I wonder if I could have parsed this fully as an eight-year-old. Maybe in rural parts of the country where even kids would be familiar with the concept of a hunting license it's not an issue.

142. Tiffany M., Churchville, NY

How come the Buffalo Bills went to the bank?

This is obviously about "getting their quarterback." I know Tiffany M. is from Churchville, NY, which is a little ways outside Rochester, thus making the Buffalo Bills her nearest NFL team. But I don't know if I would have used a specific team here. It's just sort of confusing since it makes you wonder if the punchline will actually be Bills-specific.

142. To get their quarter back.

And of course the punchline is not Bills-specific. I know this isn't really Tiffany M.'s fault - Laffy Taffy should have edited it, or picked another one that just said "the football team" since this joke is so old you know a thousand kids mailed it in. It's that little extra bit of dopiness that truly makes a Laffy Taffy joke.

Wrapper 17: Fans and dogs

9. Lori W., Clayton, OK

Why is it so hot in a stadium after a football game?

Because the players have generated a lot of energy through their... okay, no, the answer is obviously going to be something to do with fans leaving.

9. All the fans have left.

Yep. I guess I don't hate this one so much. It's predictable, and it's not funny, but none of these are funny and at least the play on words makes sense and is mildly clever.

10. Devon K., Rochester, MN

Why is a lost Dalmatian easily found?

Something about "spotting" him?

10. Because he's always spotted.

Predictable. And sort of a mess, grammatically.

That was banana. And kind of a boring one. Well, there's always tomorrow. Oh, is there ever.
