Knock Knock Jokes & Nick-names...

Benji















Benji: Knock Knock?
Lassie: Who's there?
Benji: Ben
Lassie: Ben who?
Benji: It's me your brother, Ben, open the door.
Lassie: No, No, No... that's NOT how the Knock Knock Joke works!  You have to say something clever at the end of the joke.  Here, watch me!


---------------------------------

Lassie: Knock Knock?
Benji: Who's there?
Lassie: Lassie
Benji: Lassie who?
Lassie:  Las-sie if the Bunny Rabbit is in the yard.   (Did you get it--- "Las-sie" instead of "Let's see".)
Benji:  Oh, I got it.  That's clever.  Let me try it.

Lassie



















--------------------------------

Benji: Knock Knock?
Lassie: Who's there?
Benji: Ben
Lassie: Ben who?
Benji: Ben thinking about reading blogs all day-- how about you?    (Did you get it --- "Ben" instead of "Been".)
Lassie: Hooray, you did it!  You learn fast, Young Grasshopper! 

---------------------------------

Name Game (kinda)

Speaking of "Young Grasshopper".  A bunch of dogs are playing Sarge's "Name Game."

We didn't officially enter the contest because Mommy would have to call us by the nickname that got the most votes for a whole week.  (Mommy knows she would slip up - and forget! So, we aren't entering the contest.) Butt, we wanted to share some of our alternate nick-names that we are called since other doggies are sharing.

Of course: you all know our real names are Lassiter Chase & Benjamin the Shelties because Mommy wanted our nick-names to be Lassie & Benji.  The alternate spelling of it is Lass-C & Ben-G.


Anyway...we managed to acquire even more nicknames in addition to our Lassie & Benji nicknames.


Some of our nick-names go together (kinda like a pair) and some don't:


Benji & Lassie = Chew-Bark-A (Mommy's Brother-in-law's combo name since Benji likes to "Chew" and I like to "Bark"!  Note, this is the only pair nickname where Benji's name comes first!)

-----------------------

Lassie & Benji = Sir Barks-a-lot & Sir Chews-a-lot  (That's Mommy's Sister's pair nickname for us - again, because of my (Lassie's) barking and Benji's chewing!)


Lassie & Benji = Yappy Doo & Yappy Two (Mommy's Brother-in-law's pair nickname for us. I'm "Yappy Doo", because I'm older and the official barker in the family. Benji is "Yappy Two" because he's the 2nd yapper in the family. )

Lassie & Benji = Baby & Puppy (Mommy's other nicknames for us. I am her Baby, and Benji is her Puppy. )

Lassie & Benji = Little Lassie & Big Ben (Mommy's calls us these when brushing our hair or giving us a bath -- takes our mind off things when she talks to us.)
-----------------------

Lassie's other nicknames =  Mister, Head of House

----------------------

Benji's other nicknames Young Grasshopper, Piglet, Thief, and Zlau-dee (in Ukrainian you spell Thief: ЗЛОДІЙ (pronounced like Zlau-dee), Grandma calls him that.)      

You may be wondering where Benji's names "Piglet & Thief / ЗЛОДІЙ" came from -- Benji always steals my food and toys. Sometimes he even pulls treats and toys right out of my mouth - he's a Thief alright!



Have a great day!


Lassiter Chase & my (not-so-little anymore) brother Benjamin the Shelties (Lassie & Benji)

  2. I loved your knock knock jokes! I have a student who has a traumatic brain injury, and every time I see him in the hall, he says, "Ms. B. I've got a knock knock joke for you." They are always so clever.

    Chewy has lots of names too....HBO words mostly!

  3. Hey loved the knock-knock jokes. Tucker and Beckett have nicknames too. The main one Tucker gets is Boo because he was born on Halloween, he also gets Tuckerman, Tuck, Tuckus and Gator-mouth (because he grabs treats out of my fingers). Beckett gets Elvis, Alf (because he looked like Alf in some of his puppy pictures) and Bear (that was the puppy name the breeder gave him) Keltic already has Mr Nibbler, Keltie the Sheltie, Kel and Kelly.
