July 26, 20188 yr A joke from a friend’s six-year-old: ”Why did the chicken swallow an anvil?” “Because he wanted to get to the bottom of the ocean.”
July 26, 20187 yr She felt like having Chinese and swallowed an ASO. An hour later she was hungry again and swallowed an anvil? Go ahead John, tell the youngun Steve's an old meany, it helps toughen em up. Report my version too please. Few things are as much fun as inventing corny jokes with little kids. Frosty The Lucky.
July 26, 20187 yr OK, so these two fellows were walking along and they came upon a hole in the ground. Next to the hole was a large anvil. for reasons unknown they decided to push the anvil into the hole. while waiting to hear it hit the bottom, they heard instead, coming from behind, approaching hoof beats. They looked up just in time to see a goat charging them and they just managed to step aside as goat ran past them and into the hole. they stood there perplexed. soon there after, a farmer came to them and asked if they might have seen his goat. They told him that they were attacked by a goat that then jumped down that hole. The farmer said That's impossible. I had her tied to an anvil.
July 28, 20187 yr Please find my free translated German anvil joke I heard at first 40 years ago from dad. The experienced blacksmith to his brand new unexperienced striker - “every time I nod my head, you hit it” He only nodded once
July 28, 20187 yr That is a classic, Hans. Also known as a moldy oldie. I've been using or advocating it for years. Dunno- is it from the three stooges? Nyuk nyuk nyuk! Steve
July 28, 20187 yr Reminds me of a piano player I knew who was giving a concert and his page turner failed to come. He found someone who did not read music. He told him, don't worry, I nod when you need to turn the page. Unfortunately he nodded all the time in the heat of the performance and I was watching in horror how he struggled to turn the page back, time and time again.

July 29, 20187 yr When I heard that joke the goat was tied to an old transmission but I like the anvil version better.
July 30, 20187 yr Not a joke really but funny. I was demoing in the mid 90's and a teacher asked if she could bring her elementary school class for a quick "lesson(?)" about blacksmithing. Of course I said, give me a couple minutes to set up some markers so they don't get too close if you want me to do a little smithing for them. The lady was delighted and in a little while I had about 20, 2nd. graders lined up making an effort to be good. I said hi and asked if anyone knew what a blacksmith did. No raised hands. I asked if anyone knew what this was and put my hand on the anvil. Better than half raised their hands I called on one about the middle of the group and he said enthusiastically, "Coyote killer!" What could I say, we had a good laugh and I gave them a run down about blacksmithing and did NOT stint on how useful an anvil is for other things now most of the coyotes have been flattened. They were really wowed when I twisted a piece of 3/8 sq. I LOVE kids in the forge, keeping them safe is the hardest part. I wish I'd known how to forge animal heads I would've made them a "coyote".

July 31, 20187 yr As that was the store brand for the Sears Roebuck catalog and he was always ordering stuff to be delivered out to the middle of no-where.

That reminds me of this company's monument sign that has the removable type part. They wrote: "Family owned business You shut up! No you shut up."
