(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?
