I love to make really bad similes/metaphors like “I have the memory of a fish with very poor memory” or “I’m as tall as a tree thats my height”.

    Another one I’ve gotten a lot of good mileage out of

    I once joked to my wife that avocados need to get better prizes because I always seem to get the same one- a little wooden ball.

    Now, anytime I’m in the kitchen preparing something with avocados, I’ll let out an audible groan of frustration.

    Which always prompts my wife to ask, usually from the other room “What’s wrong?”

    To which I always reply “Another wooden ball”

    Always good for a groan and some eye rolls from the wife. She never seems to see it coming.

    this one doesn’t work quite as well without speaking. but

    “how do you think the unthinkable?”

    “with an itheberg.” (iceberg with a lisp)

                Dude.
                Bruh!
                Broski…
                Okay, I’ll make a final attempt…
                In the joke, the ‘thinkable’ is actually ‘sinkable’.
                Which is not clear when you say it the first time because it sounds like you’re saying ‘think’ & ‘thinkable’, both of which are actually words.
                Trick lies in enunciating the punchline.
                Hence the Mike Tyson reference.
                Now, if you still haven’t got it, I really hope you are very very very rich so that you can survive in this world with that super smooth brain in your skull.
                If you did get it now, henceforth it is your ethical and moral duty to spread this stupid-ass joke every time you get the chance.
                God speed and be weird.
