What's So Funny?

My dad just told this joke that was so funny I almost fell over backwards. It was the one about the ararie that takes over the house. It is a shaggy dog story and it took him almost two hours to tell it, and the punch line was so funny, but I don't want to spoil it for you. Wait 'till you hear this joke, though, man is it funny. Really. Very funny.

Out Standing in My Field

You know, sometimes one must endure what life brings you, and with as much dignity as possible, you have to get through certain situations, acting as though nothing happened at all. If your parents dress you up as a cow, for example, what do you do, make bad puns, or suck it up, look the other way, and deny it ever happened? Deny I Say. Deny. Deny. Deny. Then change the subject. "Look!" you might exclaim, and when your audience looks, bring the subject back around to quarks and neutrinos. Whatever you do, DONT TOUCH THE HAT! It only brings attention to the ridiculous outfit that you are not really wearing.
