classic Red Foxx joke

[QueBert]

A dad had a son in the Navy, and he always got a letter about every other month, and they were usually in great detail.

One month, he got an unusually short letter that said nothing more than "Dad. Can't tell you where I'm at, but, I shot a polar bear today".

Well, 2 months later he got another short letter that said only "Dad. Can't tell you where I'm at, but, I danced all night with a hula girl."

2 months later, the next one rolled in, and it too was short. It simply said "Dad. Can't tell you where I'm at, but the doctor said that I should've danced with the polar bear and shot the hula girl".

I always heard he was one of the dirtiest comedians there was of his time. If this is a classic Red Foxx joke I think you've never seen Red Foxx.

Back in the 80's Red Foxx did an HBO comedy special that was hilarious. And yes, he was a very "blue" comedian. My favorite Red Foxx joke:

"If god hadn't intended man to eat pussy he wouldn't have made it look like a taco."

I got the joke from my Redd Foxx greatest comedy hits CD, pretty much all his jokes are worthy of posting, that one just jumped out at me. I didn't say it was his best, it's just a random funny Redd Foxx joke. And how is the joke an insult? It's not a Redd Foxx inspired joke, it's one of his actual jokes. Which means he found it good enough to write and end up using in one of his routines.

Another one of his jokes:

A city bus driver stopped and picked up passengers. All the passengers got on talking about race. The driver got tired of the argument and pulled the bus over and told the people to all get out. He then said that people need to forget about race. People need to treat each other like there is only one color. How about green? There are only green people.

The passengers liked the driver's idea. He then told everyone to get back on the bus and to sit down. Dark green people in the back and light green in the front.

Just realize, most of comedy is in timing and delivery and Redd Foxx had all of it in spades.

Every joke that Redd told was funny. He can make you laugh hard enough to fracture a rib.

I went into a bar the other night, about 2 in the morning. There was a chick sitting at the edge of the bar, and she looked pretty good. So I slide over about 10 stools and asked her if she liked cocktails. She said yah, tell me a few.

A little boy, about 4 years old, was going to pee in the toilet. He lifted up the seat and just as he got it over the edge, the seat feel on it! Bam! He ran to his mother crying and said Momma, kiss it, kiss it and make it well. The Mother said, damn it boy your getting more and more like your Father every day

 

[shortylickens]

In case no one explained it to you in the last 3 years: He got an STD from the hula girl.
