Comments on: 19th Century Knock Knock Jokes http://www.keepapitchinin.org/2008/05/12/19th-century-knock-knock-jokes/ Where our past is never very long ago Fri, 24 May 2013 19:46:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Eric Boysen http://www.keepapitchinin.org/2008/05/12/19th-century-knock-knock-jokes/comment-page-1/#comment-134 Eric Boysen Thu, 15 May 2008 01:11:09 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=22#comment-134 The writing style reminds me a lot of Peck’s “bad boy” which must date to the same period. (I have a partial copy of Peck’s Compendium of Fun – pages 33 through 538 so I don’t have any of the publication information)

Very cool, UnoHoo. :)

I’ll file that one away and tell it to my kids in a few years.

Mon, 12 May 2008 21:38:02 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=22#comment-109 I owe this to my old friend Lorenzo Brown, but one of the best lines I’ve heard that came out of 19th century Mormonism was Heber C. Kimball’s exhortation to the single men to “Go to it and get married. Or, I should say, get married and go to it.” (When time permits, I’ll get a citation for that.)

Parshall Mon, 12 May 2008 20:17:45 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=22#comment-108 Mark IV, be my guest — it’ll be a hoot. If UnoHoo and Biz Ness were good enough for the originals, why shouldn’t we all have some fun, too?

Thank you gentlemen for coming by. I hope you know how much I appreciate your encouragement for a new project like this, and I’ll do my best to come up with something that makes it worth while to check in regularly.

Ardis, if that ever happens, you probably won’t have far to look for the malefactor.

I also like how the original editor went by the name of Uno Hoo.
