A Little Humor…

Where do Easter Bunnies go for new tails? To the “retail store”.
What happened to the egg when he was tickled too much? He cracked up.
What did the egg say to the clown? You crack me up!
What part did the egg play in a movie Easter Parade? He was an “egg-stra.
How did the eggs leave the highway? They went through the eggs-it.
What did the eggs do when the light turned green? They egg-cellerated.
Why couldn’t the egg family watch T.V.? Because their cable was scrambled.
What did the mommy egg say to the baby egg? You’re egg-stra special.
What’s red, pink and blue with yellow all over? An Easter egg rolling down the hill.
What day does an egg dislike the most? Fry-day.
