Joke Trap (2007)
“The plan involved Ben, me, my grandad, and Hattie and Mattie. It also involved a lot of preparation.
First we had to collect the ammunition. We needed a long list of song lyrics that people had mangled. And as many terrible Dad Jokes as we could find. Once we had a decent collection of both, we’d need to lay our trap.
First came the song lyrics. We asked our friends, we asked our neighbours, we even asked our teachers, ‘What are the song lyrics you always get muddled up?’ My maths teacher, Mr O...swolski, said he’d always loved a song with the lyric ‘ride on the peace train’. Except he thought it was ‘right on the pea stain’.
And Ben’s mum admitted there’s a song which goes, ‘There’s a bad moon on the rise’. Except she always thought it went, ‘There’s a bathroom on the right’.
We asked Ben’s big brother and he confessed he really loved this song with the words, ‘I like smoke and lightning’. But for ages he thought they were singing, ‘I like smoking ice-cream’.MoreLess
