I know... I have between 12 and 15 elephant jokes I usually rattle on at moderately high speed (some include follow ups to previous ones).
Elephant jokes are fun.

Many of you probably know that the Nordic countries excel in the area of preserved fish... in forms that they consider to be cultural treasures, and that citizens of other countries will go to great lengths to avoid. Norway has its lutefisk. Sweden has its surströmming.
Few know that these are derived from an earlier form of fish preservation, dating back to Viking times. The Vikings traveled (and raided) widely, and one of the things they brought back from overseas was a large supply of French honey. They learned to ferment it, creating an alcoholic brew potent enough pickle fish. The resulting mess served as both dinner and grog, although not every Viking partook of both parts.
The name of this hideous combination has been lost to history. It's remember mostly from the philosophy it inspired: one man's mead is another man's poisson.

Don't give up hope, folks.
Amritsar Biologics, a research laboratory in India, has identified a virus which affects the language centers of the brain, leaving the victim prone to commit wordplay and double entendres.
They’ve developed an mRNA vaccine which can both prevent and treat this terrible illness. It’ll be on the market next year.
The lab is in the Punjab.

I'd share some of my favorite dad jokes, but because I am not a father, it would be a faux pa.
Ah, heck, I got a dumb one for you anyway:
What do you call a wildcat with a balance problem?
A wobcat.
There is no such thing as a science experiment gone wrong.
