- This one strikes me as pure comic genius.

- The rest clearly indicate a surreal form of non-sequitorial humor that goes far beyond the stylings of Robert Anton Wilson and Fireside Theatre.

Oh, God in heaven, he's a master. I'm crying.

"I'm an ankylosaurus and I'm with a triceratops." I could barely read it to Dave I was laughing so hard.

Yeah, I'm not done with that yet. Oh, mama. The implied threat of it. It's so hilarious I can't even stand it.

I think I'm most fond of when the ninja needs to cut the joke short to go fight the robot in the crime city. I bet that kind of thing happens all the time in the crime city. I quite like the question burger one as well. Gotta get me one of those.

i'm voting for the mastery one as well. this is funny stuff.

Please tell Charlie he can send half of his sloth burger with you to our next Chicken practice.

And while he's an anklysaurus with a triceratops, my children are both a penguin who can breathe underwater and a dolphin who can breathe underwater...NO DOLPHIN-BACKS!

The kid is clearly a zen master. Those aren't jokes, they're koans.

I'm crying from laughing so hard. These are hysterical. I had to stop reading and get away from the computer and then come back to finish.

I hope you don't mind, but I linked to Charlie's hilarious jokes in my own blog. This kid is on fire, figuratively speaking I'm sure.

Thanks for refreshing my memory. I'd read them all before and I choked on my laughter back then, too.
