Recently, in net.jokes, there have been a series of jokes of the kind that
George Kirby called Father Goose tales. I'm referring to the stories with
the puns for punch lines.
	These are the jokes with the punchlines:
	"Two obese Pattys, special Ross, .... Sesame Street Bus"
	"Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear."
	"Crossing State Lions with Immoral Purpoises."
	"Making an Obscene Clone Fall."
Those are the ones that have already appeared. Does anyone have any others -
possibly for assembling into a "Canonical List of Father Goose Tales"?
	(Hey, I've been updating the canonical List of Light Bulb Jokes, so
this should fit right in.)

So, for the specialists in puns and twists of wording on the net, this is
your chance.

line to net.jokes only.)
