Dry Joke
- There once was a kid named Fred
- He was walking in the park when a hobo screamed, "PURPLE BOX!!!"
- This perturbed Fred greatly, regardless he shouldered his bag and went to school.
- Fred: "Teacher? What's Purple Box?"
- Teacher: "Don't you EVER say that again in my class! I'm sending you to the principal's office right now!"
- Fred was sent to the office.
- Principal: "Why was your teacher mad at you, son?"
- Fred: "I duno, I only asked her about the Purple Box."
- Principal: "WHAT?!? That's it, mister! I'm sending you home!"
- Fred: "Wha--?"
- The prinicpal immediately called Fred's home, and after a heated exchange of words ten minutes later he was packed into the back of his mother's carten minutes on the way home.
- Mom: "Why was the Principal mad at you?"
- Fred: "I told him about a Purple Box."
- Mom: No more nonsense, Freddy. Tell me what you said."
- Fred: (staring blankly at his mother) "I asked him about the Purple Box."
- Mom: "This is the the limit Fred!! You're going to have to explain yourself to your father."
- Fred is now at home sitting next to his father.
- Dad: "Why is your mom so miffed today, son?"
- Fred: "I asked her about the Purple Box."
- Ded:"... Okay. You need help. I'm sending you to military school in the summer."
- It is now summertime, and Fred has been shipped off to Wellington Academy.
- Sergeant: "Private Fred! Why were you sent here?"
- Fred: "I told my parents, my principal, and my teacher about the Purple Box, sir!"
- Sergeant: "Alright, with that mouth, I'm kicking you out of the military school and sending you back home WITHOUT a ride!"
- Fred: "But my house is twenty miles away!"
- Sergeant: "I guess you'll be walking!"
- Fred leaves and is now a hobo himself.
- Fred sees the same hobo, that jumped out and yelled, "Purple Box", kicking a tree.
- Fred goes over and talks to the hobo.
- Fred: "Excuse me? What does a Purple Box mean? I've been getting into trouble for saying it."
- Hobo: "I knew you'd be back for more. If you wanna find out? Meet me on that bench tomorrow at 7:30 and I'll tell you."
- It is the next day, and Fred is across the street from the bench. He sees the hobo sitting on it and glances at his watch. 7:30.
- He runs across the street to meet up with the hobo, until he gets hit by a truck.
- The moral of the story? Always look both ways before you cross.
