The Most Commanding Day of the Year


Forty-two years ago today, my 8th grade math teacher, Mr. Novak, told the class one of the worst jokes I have ever heard and, sadly, one of the few I can always remember:
“What’s the most commanding day of the year?”

“March forth.”

Getting that joke stuck in your head is a lot like getting some terrible song stuck in there. You hate it but it just keeps playing again and again. I hate the March forth joke but I retell it every year. 
Here are some more simply awful jokes to get stuck in your head.
Why was 10 afraid of seven?
Because seven ate nine.

Why didn't the skeleton go to the party?
Because he had no body to go with.

Why did the teacher wear sunglasses to class?
Because his students were so bright.

Why didn't the shark eat the clown fish?
It tasted funny.

Why did the pregnant lady start yelling couldn't, didn't, isn't?
She was having contractions.

Here’s to you Mr. Novak: Knock, knock...
