It’s Easter.  That means it’s time for all of the fair-weather Jesus fans out there to get half of their annual church quota out of the way.  That also means its time for parents to lie to their kids about the Easter Bunny.  Although, as fat as kids are these days, the Easter Bunny probably isn’t so exciting anymore:

Mom:  “Look at what the Easter Bunny brought: a basket of candy!”

Kid: “So what?  The basket of candy I ate for lunch yesterday was like twice that size.  Plus it wasn’t all pastel-colored crap.”

Last year I used the candy-centric Easter holiday to tell the tale of a Laffy Taffy Joke gone wrong.  Here is the next episode in that series of non-jokes:

“Q: What did Yes say to No?

A:  Maybe.

-Chad D. New Bedford, MA”

Admittedly, this is closer to being a joke than last year’s entry.  At least I can see what Chad D. is getting at.  But why is Yes saying ‘maybe’?  Yes says ‘yes’.  That’s what Yes does. 

The joke should be about Mr. Yes and Mrs. Yes getting married and having a baby, and when it comes out Maybe, Mr. Yes beats the crap out of Mr. No with a crowbar.  Now that’s a laffy everyone can enjoy.
