Ah, childhood memories. I figure I was six or seven when I heard them.
And, IMO, the best lunatic joke in my arsenal:
A lunatic walks down the asylum yard, pulling a toothbrush on a leash. Doctor walks by:
D: Um... is it you taking your dog for a walk?
L: You think I'm nuts? Don't you see it's a toothbrush?
Doctor goes away. When he's far enough, the guy addresses his toothbrush:
- Gee, Fido, we fooled him!
The older and weaker predecessor to this:
D: why are you pulling that toothbrush on a string?
L: pushing didn't work.
