Recently our favorite employee there introduced us to her lovely little daughter and we naturally asked the child's name and she answered "Eileen". Afterward I said, "I am ashamed of myself but I have to tell this "BOB" joke:
What do you call an Asian girl with one arm and one leg leaning up against a wall? IRENE!"
I had to refresh the memories of the other couple about "BOB" jokes:
What do you call a guy with no arms and legs who likes to go swimming? Of course, the answer is BOB!
On reflection, the "IRENE" bit wasn't the greatest joke, and I was greeted with disdain and groaning, but before judgement, guess what? They all "got" the "IRENE" reference for "EILEEN/I LEAN" meaning, so they are just as bad, but when I later told my wiseacre brother, he said, "If you gotta explain 'em,..."
If you do not understand WHY that was included by me as a "BOB" jokes, see my article below from 2010:
BOB JOKES
OK, I admit, I have sick humor! Many years ago, I heard my first "BOB" joke:
"What do you call a guy with no arms and legs who likes to go swimming? BOB"
Over the years, I have maintained a collection of "BOB" and "BARB" jokes, much to the dismay of family and friends. Just let anyone say, "Hey, remember BOB jokes?" and I'm on a roll. Recently, a friend introduced another generation to BOB jokes and asked me, (dubbing me "the VENERABLE ONE") for my assistance. "Should I or should I not?", I wondered. How could I disappoint a new generation?
