Cook an Oyster and Crack a Joke
My five year old cousin cousin, Kate, has a signature joke. It can be adapted to any situation on a whim, and is always funny. Especially to her. It goes a little something like this…
Kate: Knock Knock
Me: Who’s there?
Kate: Oyster
Me: Oyster who?
Kate: Knock Knock
Me: Who’s there?
Kate: Oyster
Me: Oyster who?
Kate: Knock Knock
Me: Who’s there?
Kate: Oyster
Me: Oyster who?
Kate: Knock Knock
Me: Who’s there?
Kate: Orange
Me: Orange who?
Kate: Orange you glad I didn’t say Oyster?!
If she can work Gulf oysters into a joke, you know it’s a keeper. But as funny as oyster jokes are, they have a serious side, so if you love eating those slippery little muscles, you have to Be Oyster Aware. If you are an “at risk” individual (meaning you have Liver Disease, Iron overload disease, diabetes, cancer, stomach disorders, or other diseases that weaken the immune system) remember to eat your oysters steamed, fried, grilled, or cooked in some fashion so that you avoid Vibrio Vulnificus, which can lead to serious sickness or death.
If you’re “at risk” remember to cook your oysters, then crack an oyster joke!
Wow . . . that is funny and interesting, didn’t know that!
Good and bad.
Good: your cousin is so cute and the joke is hilarious! (Gotta try that with my nieces and nephews)
Bad: I love oysters on the half shell
i taught her that joke!
