What is It?

My Dad cracks me up. Tonight we were swapping jokes, and he told me he cut this out of the trivia section of the newspaper. Think long and hard about it before you answer in the comments…

What is the first thing you know?

that i will probably spend the rest of my life trying to get back into the place i just was.

😉

Heh. I read that in Ken Hoffman;s column. Made me think of the Asylum Street Spankers. 🙂

old jed’s a millionaire.

Kin-folk said, “Jed, move away from there.” *after tj comment

What TJ said!!

Back when I was an office jockey a couple of years back, that was my faaavorite joke… and when I told it most people would just look at me like I was nuts. Except my CFO. Everytime he walked by my office he’d whistle the theme to Beverly Hillbillies.

Love. that. joke.

Teehee! I was cracking up when he told me that! I’m so proud of you guys for getting it right! 🙂

Okay, I totally don’t get it.

I’m with Kymberlie.. soooo lost.

It’s the theme song from Beverly Hillbillies – “Well, the first thing you know, old Jed’s a millionaire. The kinfolk say, Jed, move away from there.”

My dad told me this joke a while back, and while I didn’t find it funny, seeing him find it so funny made all of us laugh too, so I have good memories of this joke. LOL

I think it might just be a guy thing? Or a not-as-many-girls thing? 😉 I didn’t get it either at first.

I got it right away – but then again, I *loved* the Beverly Hillbillies when I was a kid, so “The first thing you know … old Jed’s a millionaire” cracked me up. Plus the fact that I kept pondering what was the first thing I knew. Uhm, life … the sound of my mother’s heartbeat …

I didn’t get it either. But then I’ve never seen the show so that would probably explain it.

Ya, I didn’t get it at first and I even used to watch Beverly Hillbillies.

Watch out for Granny…She’s ornery… ;P

Thanks for sharing the riddle! Reading about it (and everyone’s comments) made my morning!

So much for not being raised with the telly. Never seen a single one of those BHB.

I didn’t know the answer till I read your comments. I was going for something overly real

*blank*

roflmao! DOH!

Ah, this is great. I have a friend who is always stumping me with these things. He’ll never get this one. *Insert evil laugh*

*tap* *tap* Is this thing on … Christine … where art thou?
