So I know a couple of jokes when you hold up letters to the kids and ask what they are.

For example "What letter is this?
"Y"
"Because I'm asking you that's why!"

Any more that you guys know?

When I was a kid we used say,

"How many letters are in the alphabet? 23. L & M got kicked out for smoking and P got flushed down the toilet."

Who thinks this is inappropriate today?

Thanks Ken, I like those lines, not sure I can use the smoking one but the P one is great! Thanks.

"ABC Stung Revisited" in The Wizards' Journal #21 has a new method of operation, but uses the same old reason for vanishing the letter "B" - If you play around with B's, you might get STUNG!

Google "alphabet jokes" and you'll find more like Ken's. (What begins with t, ends with t, and is full of t? a teapot.)

There used to be a bunch of colored foam letters that were word plays - could easily be adapted to display cards.
Brown E
Blue J
Grey V
Red C
Black I
Pink I

Ken,

Years back I heard that same joke about how many letters being in the alphabet. The answer was 24 because ET went home.

B-stung --C-who? --G-whiz --I-you? -- J-is your boy friend? --K-is your girlfriend? -- O-Ohhhh?? - P (look on the floor?) -- T-no thank you ,I'll just have Milk --U (me??) Y (I don't know -or What??) I use these when Having a youth teach my Vent friend the alphabet. Have fun Ralph

What comes after 'O'?

Yeah!

P-U for "stinky" gets a chuckle.

Mark Lewis has a routine called The Letter but last I heard he had retired, I heard he got married.

The Letter is a great bit, but I think the question was about letters of the alphabet.

No, he got banned.

His letter routine is a fantastic bit of comedy and a great way to open a show. If only he was a nicer chap!
