"Am I hopping in the right direction to New York City?" the white rabbit asks. The brown rabbit replies "it'll cost you."
So the two hop into the bushes, do what rabbits do and after they finish the brown rabbit says "yes keep going the way you are. You should be there within 5 days."
A couple of mornings later the white rabbit spots a grey male rabbit and says "Am I hopping in the right direction to New York City?" The grey rabbit replies "it'll cost you."
So the two hop into the bushes, do what rabbits do and after they are done the grey rabbit says "yes keep going the way you are. You should be there within 2 days."
Two mornings later the white rabbit spots a black male rabbit and says "Am I hopping in the right direction to New York City?" The black rabbit replies "it'll cost you."
So the two hop into the bushes, do what rabbits do and after they are done the black rabbit says "yes just keep going for another 30 minutes and you'll be there."
So the white rabbit, now very pregnant hops into the bushes and stays there until she is ready to give birth. WIthin two weeks the white rabbit gives birth to her baby rabbits. And do you know what color they were?
It'll cost you.
Joke Poo: The Traveling Tech Support
A senior citizen, Ethel, is trying to get her new laptop to connect to the internet. Frustrated, she calls tech support and reaches a young, male tech representative named Brian.
"Excuse me, dear," Ethel says, "Am I clicking on the right icon to get online?"
Brian sighs internally, but replies politely, "It’s gonna cost you."
So Ethel patiently explains her computer setup, her router, and her attempts to connect, taking a good fifteen minutes of Brian’s time. After she’s described everything in detail, Brian says, "Yes, Ma’am, you’re clicking the right icon. Just keep trying, it should connect eventually."
A couple of days later, Ethel calls tech support again, reaching another young male rep, Kevin. "Excuse me, dear," she says, "Am I clicking on the right icon to get online?"
Kevin, already on his fifth call of the morning, replies in a monotone, "It’s gonna cost you."
Ethel then describes her continuing struggles with equal fervor for another long fifteen minutes. When she’s done, Kevin says, "Yes, you’re clicking the right icon. It might be a server issue. Try again later."
A week passes, and Ethel calls tech support again, this time reaching a tech support supervisor named Mark. "Excuse me, dear," she says, "Am I clicking on the right icon to get online?"
Mark, who’s been doing this for years, replies with forced cheeriness, "It’s gonna cost you."
Ethel launches into her detailed description, pouring out all the previous advice she received and repeating her attempts. Finally, when she pauses for breath, Mark says, "Okay, Ma’am, I need your account information. Social Security number, mother’s maiden name, the name of your first pet…"
Ethel, now very suspicious, hangs up the phone, and tries one last time to connect. Suddenly, her internet connects. She can finally use her new laptop.
Do you know what her homepage was set to?
It’s gonna cost you.
Alright, let’s hop to it! (Pun intended, of course). Here’s the analysis and a comedic enhancement:
Joke Dissection:
- Core Premise: A female rabbit uses sexual favors as currency to get directions to New York City. The punchline relies on the audience expecting a typical "What color were the babies?" joke where the color is derived from the multiple fathers, but subverts it by returning to the initial transactional premise.
- Key Elements:
- Rabbits: Known for their prolific breeding habits and hopping.
- New York City: A specific and well-known destination.
- Implied Prostitution: The "it’ll cost you" and hopping into the bushes are euphemistic for sexual acts.
- Subverted Expectation: The punchline rejects the predictable outcome of mixed-race baby rabbits, going back to the "cost" joke.
- Color of the Rabbits: Building anticipation for the conclusion of the story.
Factual Tidbit:
Did you know that rabbits can actually get pregnant with a second litter while still pregnant with the first? It’s called superfetation, and it’s pretty rare in mammals, but bunnies do it.
Comedic Enhancement (Witty Observation):
Why did the white rabbit choose New York? Because even in the animal kingdom, some bunnies are looking for a city where they can truly hop-ortune themselves…even if it means navigating a "carrot-chy" lifestyle.
