A: She wanted to get orange juice from concentrate.
The RIGHT way (or a better way, at least) to tell this joke is:
Q. Why did the blonde stare at the can of frozen orange juice for
two hours?
A. Because the can said "concentrate" on it.
Geez, did my mother-in-law post this joke?
To explain what I mean by that, here is a decent joke, condensed
(concentrated, if you will) for time considerations.
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Old West, town being terrorized by a mountain
lion. But instead of eating people, this mountain lion ate their boots!
Roy decides to put a stop to this, goes hunting for the lion, but the
lion jumps HIM, and eats Roy's boots. He gets another pair, goes out
hunting again, and THIS time, he gets the lion. He rides back iinto
camp with the dead lion across the saddle of his pack horse. Dale,
seeing him, says (sings) (to the tune of "Chattanooga Choo-choo"), "Pardon me
Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"
Reasonably cute and funny. But my mother-in-law couldn't tell a joke
to save her life. She gets to the punch line and says (and I do mean
SAYS, w/absolutely no hint of a tune), "Excuse me Roy, is that the
mountain lion that ate your new boots?" Gotta go. Goodnight everybody,
drive carefully.
After Trigger died, Roy was so upset he had Trigger stuffed and mounted.
Dale allowed as how she'd appreciate the same treatment, only the other
way around.

P.S. everything is IMOHO |
and probably very :) |
in this same vein, I had a lady-friend/girlfriend some many years ago
who had plenty of intelligence, but could NOT tell a joke.
I had told her:
How do you get a one-armed Aggie out of a tree?
-- wave to him.
A few days later, we joined her aunt/uncle for dinner, she asked
me to "tell my joke", I had no idea WHICH one and told her to
tell "IT". She proceeded:
How do you get a one-armed Aggie out of a tree?
-- tell him hello.

Why are elephants gray?
So you can tell them apart from the blue jays.
What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming?
"Here come the elephants."
What did Jane say when she saw the elepahnts coming?
"Here come the blue jays." ( She was color blind ).
What do teenage elephants do for spare $$?
Baby-sit blue jays on Saturday night.
