I always love seeing how long dumb joke chains can go.

  1. Why do elephants paint their toenails? To hide in cherry trees.
  2. Have you ever seen an elephant hiding in a cherry tree? No? Proves it works
  3. Why did the fourth monkey fall out of the tree? He thought it was a game.
  4. Why did the fifth monkey fall out of the tree? There wasn't much room with all the cherries around.
  5. Why did the sixth monkey fall out of the tree? I mean, might as well. It can always cushion itself on the pile of monkeys.
  6. How did those monkeys die? A cherry fell on them.
  7. But how did the first monkey die? A parrot dropped a brick on his head. (That's a reference to a VERY different joke)

Ha, I'd never heard the rest of the monkey ones!

The other elephant painting their nails one I remember is "What did Tarzan say when he saw the herd of elephants? Here come the oranges! (He was colourblind.)"

Oh, if we go into the world of elephant and Tarzan jokes, we're having a fun day.

  1. What is the loudest sound in the jungle? A giraffe eating cherries.
  2. What's the difference between elephants and plums? Plums are purple.
  3. What did Jane say when she saw a herd of elephants? Look, a herd of elephants!
  4. What did Tarzan say when he saw a herd of elephants? Look, a herd of plums! (Tarzan is colourblind, fyi)
  5. Did you hear Tarzan died? One day, he was just out picking cherries, and then... A whole bunch of monkeys fell on him! And a gorilla!

If ya want to "modernize" it more you could end it like:

Why did the gorilla fall out of the tree?

It identified as a monkey.
