A Funny Thing

"A funny thing happened today."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah"

"What happened?"

"Well, you know those gag-flowers-things that squirt water when somebody smells them?"

"Gag-flower-things?"

"Yeah, clowns wear them."

"Oh yeah, those gag-flower-things!"

"Yeah. Anyway, these thirty-seven clowns..."

"Thirty-seven clowns?"

"Yeah, thirty-seven clowns."

"That's a lot of clowns!"

"Yeah. Anyway, these thirty-seven clowns where standing around..."

"What were they drinking?"

"Tea, I think. Anyway, these thirty-seven clowns where standing around, wearing these gag-flower-things, in a circle."

"A circle?"

"Yeah, and each clown was sniffing the next clowns flower-thing."

"All around the circle?"

"Yeah, all around the circle."

"Okay"

"So, then all thirty-seven clowns squirt each other at the same time."

"Hey, that's pretty funny."

"But that's not even the funny thing."

"What's the funny thing?"

"These twelve businessmen, who are eating lunch nearby..."

"Businessmen? Where was this?"

"In the park."

"The park?"

"You know, the park across from that Chinese doughnut shop. The Lucky Golden Cruller."

"Oh yeah, that's a nice park."

"Yeah. Anyway, these twelve businessmen are laughing like crazy. So I ask them what they're laughing at."

"And?"

"And they were laughing at my funny hat!"
