"surreal" jokes, but I'm not very good at this.

Sorry, I'm running on zero sleep.

I mean, first of all, a giraffe wouldn't be up a tree, and even if there was a giraffe in the tree, nobody would throw a refrigerator at it. Well, it's possible, but not very likely.

But you never know.

I read a joke somewhere about an elephant falling out of a tree, and I laughed my ass off, (but I can't remember the joke). So basically what I've done is tried to steal someone else's material and then I made it unfunny.

Kudos to the person who made up the elephant joke though.

Q: How do you get an elephant in a palm tree?
A: Sit it on a coconut and wait 20 years.

Q: Why do elephants have flat feet?
A: From jumping out of palm trees.

Q: Why shouldn't you walk in the jungle between two and four in the afternoon?
A: Because that's when elephants are jumping out of palm trees.

Q: Why are pygmies so short?
A: Because they walked in the jungle between two and four in the afternoon.

Q: What do you find between an elephant's toes?
A: Slow running pygmies.

And my favorite:

Q: How can you tell that there's an elephant in bed with you?

And asks for a loaf of bread.

"White or whole wheat?", the baker asks.

"Better make it whole wheat", the elephant replies, "because I came on my bicycle."

Oh no, wait, I told that wrong.

It was a hippo.
