How do you put a giraffe in a refrigerator?

Open the door, take the elephant out, put the giraffe in and close the door

The lion, king of all the animals, holds a meeting for all the animals and everyone shows up but one. Who's missing?

The giraffe! They're still in the refrigerator.

You need to cross a river that’s home to crocodiles. How do you get across safely?

You simply swim across. All the crocodiles are at the lion’s meeting!

Oh my god this is my favorite joke chain! I use it at least once a year

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

But why don't you use the bridge?

How do you get 4 elephants in a mini cooper? -Two in the front, two in the back.

How do you get 2 whales in a mini cooper? -Take the M4 and go over the Severn bridge.

How can you tell there's an elephant in your fridge? -Footprints in the custard.

How can you tell there's 2 elephants in your fridge? -You can hear them giggle when the light goes out.

How can you tell there's 3 elephants in your fridge? -You can't quite get the door shut.

The whales one took me a second!

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Well if you got it could you explain? Idk what the Severn bridge is. My phone evidently does by making it a capital letter though.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Think of countries in the UK

And M4 is a highway, not a tank

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Ah, thanks.

[–] dch82@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Severn bridge goes over Severn river, which is part of the border between England and Wales. The M4 goes from London to South Wales

It's more of an antijoke than a dad joke.

Check the other comments :)

What time is it when an elephant sits on your sofa? Time to buy a new sofa.

I hate that I'm subscribed to this community 😄

Fit an elephant in a refrigerator where?

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not in the egg compartment, of course, but most other places will do.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah. An elephant won't stay crisp in the egg compartment.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How do you fit a thousand elephants onto a small driveway?

You take the "i" out in drive and the "f" out in way.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

But dad, there is no...

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Spell it out and say it out loud.

The punchline is more satisfying if you discover it versus being told.

Explanation:

spoilerThere is no effin' way

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, very much so!
