So this woman was reading about how bathing in milk helps the skin. So, the next time she got milk, she placed an order for 25 gallons.
The guy taking her order felt like this was a typo.
“Excuse me miss, did you happen to mean 2.5 gallons?”
She replies, “That is the correct amount. I want to bathe in the milk to help my skin”
The milkman asks, “Oh ok. Would you like it pasteurized?”
“No, just up to my tits”
Okay, here’s my attempt at a “Joke Poo” version of the milk bath joke:
Joke Poo: The Compost Tea Soak
So, this gardener was reading about how soaking in compost tea helps plants grow. The next time they ordered supplies, they placed an order for 250 gallons of compost tea.
The guy taking the order felt like this was a typo. “Excuse me, did you happen to mean 25 gallons?”
The gardener replies, “That is the correct amount. I want to soak in the tea to help me grow.”
The supplier asks, “Oh ok. Would you like that diluted?”
“No, just up to my roots!”
Alright, let’s dissect this udderly hilarious joke!
Key Elements of the Original Joke:
- Premise: A woman wants to bathe in milk for its supposed beauty benefits.
- Incongruity: The quantity of milk (25 gallons) is excessive and reveals the intention for a full bath, which is unusual.
- Misunderstanding/Assumed Context: The milkman initially suspects a typo, then accepts the explanation.
- Punchline: The woman’s response is a double entendre, using “pasteurized” (referring to processing milk) and “up to my tits” (referring to the level of the milk in the bath) for comedic effect. It’s a vulgar but effective and unexpected twist.
- Implied Sexually: The punch line contains vulgar language with sexual implications.
Analysis:
The joke relies on the contrast between the perceived health/beauty benefits of milk and the crude, sexually suggestive punchline. The escalating absurdity, from a regular milk order to a full milk bath to the final retort, drives the humor. The milkman’s initial concern (“typo”) creates a relatable setup. The double meaning of “pasteurized” is the critical element.
Now, let’s milk this for all it’s worth and create some new comedic content!
Option 1: A “Did You Know?” Enhanced with Humor
Original Joke Element Focus: Beauty Benefits of Milk
New Humor:
“Did you know? Cleopatra was rumored to bathe in donkey milk to preserve her beauty. What people often forget is the fine print in her beauty regime. Legend says she also required 700 donkeys producing milk daily! Talk about commitment. Her milkman was constantly asking whether he should have the order “up to the sphinx.”
Why this works: It’s a fun way to enhance the joke and contains similar sexual innuendo.
Option 2: A Related Joke
Original Joke Element Focus: Absurdity of Bulk Order
New Joke:
A woman calls the local honey farm. “I’d like to order 500 pounds of honey.”
The beekeeper replies, “Five hundred pounds? Are you making a giant cake?”
“No,” she says, “I read that honey helps with allergies. I’m going to spread it on my body and let the bees sting me. I heard it’s a natural form of immunotherapy.”
The beekeeper pauses. “… So, you want the honey raw?”
The woman replies, “No, I want them angry!”
Why this works: It mirrors the original joke’s structure: an unusual quantity of a product, a question revealing the absurd purpose, and a final line twisting the understanding of “raw” and “angry.”
Option 3: Witty Observation
Original Joke Element Focus: Double Entendre
New Humor:
“You know you’re at a sophisticated wine tasting when the sommelier describes a vintage as ‘having notes of mammary gland’ and everyone nods knowingly.
Why this works: It plays on the culture of pretentious appreciation and uses the same vulgar undertones of the original joke.
