Dear Knock Knock Joke,

(the interview)

Me: Knock knock

Knock Knock Joke (KKJ): [sighs] 'Who's there?'

Me: Jo

KKJ: [sighs again] Jo who?

Me: Jo King!  Ha!

KKJ: [sighs and goes to walk out the door]

Me: Wait!  Don't go!  I'm sorry.  Come back in (but please knock first - ha!)  Wait, sorry!

KKJ: [sighs, comes back in, not looking impressed]

Me: On a serious note, I just want to thank you for providing so much simple fun.  You really are accessible to all.  Well done.

KKJ: Are you calling me simple?

Me: Far from it!  I'm praising you for getting it right for so many people and for so many years.  It must feel great to make people laugh.

KKJ: I think you'll find there are more groans than laughs.

Me: Groans can be good

KKJ: You think?

Me: Yeah, a groan is a response at least.  Come on, nobody can ignore you.  It's impossible.  Give a person a 'knock knock' and they're gonna say 'who's there?' every time.  You've got them by the shorts.  It's gold!  You even fell for it yourself!

KKJ: Hmm...here's one for you then: Knock knock

Me: Who's there?

KKJ: Arno

Me: Arno who?

KKJ: Arno, not another knock knock joke!

Me: Ha!  See, that was comedy gold!

KKJ: I don't know about comedy gold, perhaps mildly amusing...for a six year old.

Me: Arno!  Don't knock knock knock jokes!

KKJ: OK I've got another one for you.

Me: Excellent.  Go on then.

KKJ: No, you start.

Me: OK...Knock knock

KKJ: Who's there?
