October 31 – National Knock-Knock Jokes Day

Posted on October 31, 2014

On a day when so many go door to door, knocking or ringing the bell in a search for some Halloween candy, why not celebrate knock-knock jokes?

Here are a few:

Knock-knock jokes are puns – jokes that take advantage of the fact that there are words that sound like other words but that have different meanings. To be perfectly honest, knock-knock jokes are usually bad puns!
