Well, a few years ago some friends & I developed the "dead baby elephant" joke.
The object is to take an old joke and make a new joke by inserting "dead baby
elephant" in the question and altering the answer <in>appropriately.
 
Examples:

q:  Why did the dead baby elephant cross the road?
a:  It was stapled to the chicken.

q:  Why do dead baby elephants wear grey suspenders?
a:  To hold their trunks up.

You get the idea.  Sort of punk humor.  Any good ideas out there?
