Bullgrit: “I posted your joke on my blog.”

Cowgrit: “Which joke?”

Bullgrit: “The only joke you know.”

Cowgrit: “I know more than one joke!”

Bullgrit: “No you don’t. It’s the only joke you’ve ever been able to remember and tell correctly.”

Cowgrit: “Why did the chicken cross the road?”

Bullgrit: “Yep, that’s it.”

Cowgrit: “To show the ‘possum it could be done.”

Bullgrit: “Right.”

Cowgrit: “I know another joke.”

Bullgrit: “Oh yeah? What is it?”

Cowgrit: “Why did God give men a bigger brain than dogs?”

Bullgrit: “I taught you that joke back in college. That’s my joke.”

Cowgrit: “So they won’t hump your leg at a party.”

Bullgrit: “And you actually remembered it.”

Cowgrit: “Knock, knock.”

Bullgrit: “Oh, you’re gonna use jokes from the boys, now? Who’s there?”

Cowgrit: “Apple. . . . No! I mean Banana.”

Bullgrit: <laughing> “That’s Calfgrit3’s only joke. You’re stealing jokes from a 3-year-old?”

Cowgrit: “Shoot.”

Bullgrit: “See?”

Cowgrit: “But I do know more than one joke.”

Bullgrit: “Okay. I’ll correct my blog. You can tell more than one joke. You know TWO jokes.”

Last game night, our group played one last game of Settlers of Catan before moving on to other games for a while. During our game of Settlers, one guy managed to get a cocked die on a flat surface. (For those not into games with dice, a “cocked die” is a die that isn’t sitting flat — usually because it rolled onto an obstacle like a book, the game board, or something. Dictionary.com – cocked.)

The corners of the Settlers game dice are rounded so they roll easier, and that’s a good thing. I never would have thought that feature could give this kind of result. The roll was so amazing to us that I took a picture to show it:

Now, I was going to talk more about the game, which was interesting, but after going to Dictionary.com for the link above, I found something much more interesting.

As cool as this odd die roll is, I found the definition of “cocked” (at the Dictionary.com link above) to be absolutely hilarious. Here, let me show you without having to go through the link:

1. To set erect; to turn up.
Our Lightfoot barks, and cocks his ears. –Gay.
Dick would cock his nose in scorn. –Swift.

2. To shape, as a hat, by turning up the brim.

3. To set on one side in a pert or jaunty manner.
They cocked their hats in each other’s faces. –Macaulay.

If reading that doesn’t give you a puerile grin, you’re too damn mature. It made me chuckle. But then, no one’s ever accused me of being too damn mature.
