my niece tells a joke about bees

[phosfate]

Yes, she's that good-looking in person. No, you can't have her number.

She has an amazing conversational vocabulary.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

She talks like jazz. Half of the content is in the pauses.

She is very pretty. Can I have her number?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

You might have some explaining to do to her husband, but sure!

[teenygozer.livejournal.com]

Best joke ever; one might well go "WEEEhoo!" after telling it.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Whoever that kid was, she knew how to deliver a punchline.

I still remember when I first met you (at a MWest), and I thought, "Um, shouldn't she be on a *date* somewhere?" 'cause you were so darned cute.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Awwwwww! No, 'cause, I'd rather do things that aren't completely horrible and make me want to kill myself.

[thistlethorn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're funny that way. *g* Thank God. And the rest of us reap the benefits. I always knew what a kick-ass artist you are, but have I told you recently what an amazing WRITER you are? Seriously, you're outstanding!

*beam*

You're not so bad yourself, missey!

She's lovely and charming. For some reason, I tend to picture extremely small children when people say "My niece", so I was a bit confused.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she's...I think she's 34 now.

[wolfy-writing.livejournal.com]

She's older than I am?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I...don't know?

[wolfy-writing.livejournal.com]

I'm younger than thirty-four, so she is indeed older than I am. That surprised me, because I always envisioned you as about thirty-two.

People are sometimes younger than their nieces. Are you?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I am 47 in your Earth years.

It's still fun listening to her, but I don't get the joke. I hope I'm running in a cultural barrier or having trouble with the accent or something, because I like to think of myself as someone who can understand 5yrs-olds jokes.

What is a blue bee? A kind of shrimp, right?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

OMG ILU!

Boobies. It's boobies.

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

Oh. I always seem to have these moments around the end of the year. I would feel more mortified, but it helps that they make you so happy.

I still hear "blue bees", even though I know better now.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can't un-hear it now.

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

My, what a charming speech impediment your niece has!

I *googled* for them. It seemed unlikely that you can milk shrimps so the best explanation I could come up with was that there's maybe an expensive shrimp milkshake that's very popular overseas. But that didn't quite sound like your average 5-yrs-old punchline, so I asked. I'm so happy I did! Now the riddle won't keep nagging me all day. \o/

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Three beekeepers are in a pub, talking about their job.

The first one says "I've got 100,000 bees, in 10 beehives. They're very well looked after."

The second one says "I've got 200,000 bees in 20 beehives. There's lots of space for them and the honey that they make is great."

The third beekeeper says "I've got 1,000,000 bees. And i keep them all in one hive."

The other two are shocked. "A million bees in a hive? How are they meant to have space to move around? They'll be really crowded and stressed! It can't be good for them!"

The third beekeeper looks up, sups his pint and says "Fuck 'em. They're only bees."
