Bright Hopes

 

Here’s the world’s best knock-knock joke: Once there were three brothers ages 92, 94 and 96 who lived in a house together. One night the 96-year-old drew a bath, puts his foot in and paused for a moment. He then hollered down the stairs, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?” The 94-year-old yelled back, "I don't know, I'll come up and see." He started up the stairs and paused, then he yelled, "Was I going up the stairs or coming down?" The 92-year-old was sitting at the kitchen table having coffee listening to his brothers. He shook his head and said, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful." He knocked on wood for good luck. He then yelled, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."
