So there was this kid, he was in the 6th grade, and started doing poorly in school. Desparate, his dad offers to buy him anything he wants, as long as he gets good grades. The kid figures, ok. So he gets straight As that year. The father Honours his word, and offers to buy him whatever he wants. The son says, he wants 1 pink ping pong ball. Kind of a strange request ponders the father, but regardless, he gets it for him.

In 7th grade, the Father offers his son the exact same deal, get good grades, and anything you want is yours (his dad is super wealthy, think Bill Gates). So the son gets straight A's again. Again the father asks him what he would like. This time, the kid wants 2 pink ping pong balls. At this point the father is a bit wierded out, but whatever, as long as the kid is succeeding.

Same deal in the 8th grade. As long as he has good grades, he gets whatever he wants. And again the kid gets straight A's. And once again the father informs him that he will get him ANYTHIGN he wants, anything in the world. The kid requests, a pack (containing 3) pink ping pong balls. Somewhat distraught by this request but nevertheless, the father gets his son what he wants.

High school comes around, the father figures, his son will be exposed to more people now, maybe his hormones will be raging, and he might take interest in girls etc. 9th grade, kid gets straight A's, and again the father offers him ANYTHING at all. The kid asks for 2 packs of 3 pink ping pong balls each. At this point the dad is thinking his son is out of his fucking mind, but if all the kid wants are pink ping pong balls, then wtf, its cheap. So he gets it for him.

10th grade, same deal. Kid gets straight A's, and again the father asks his son what he wants as a reward. This time he begs his son, telling him he will get him ANYTHING at ALL, just no more pink ping pong balls, the son asks for a garbage bag of pink ping pong balls. But what can he do? He promised him anything he wanted, and this is what he wants, so he got it for him.

11th Grade. Again the kid gets straight A's, and AGAIN the father offers him anything he wants as reward, and this time the kid asks for 2 garbage bags full of pink ping pong balls. The father gets it for him, not much he can do, at least its keeping him motivated.

12th Grade, again same thing, straight A student, graduating Valedictorian, father offers him anything in the world, and the kid asks, for a garbage truck full of pink ping pong balls.

So the kid goes off to med school. On his first year there, he got aids and died.

Someone care to explain it?

JJ Irani · 7 March 2009, 01:20 PM

What the hell was all that about, Bruno?

Carolina · 7 March 2009, 01:36 PM

I read it twice, and add me to the chorus of "huh?"

Perhaps you skipped a part?

again again please

bruno stop taking whatever your taking....

scottschoe · 7 March 2009, 04:09 PM

I think it's supposed to end a bit differently...

The next day, less than surprisingly, no pink ping pong balls could be found in the son's hospital room.

Now, my dearest son, apple of my eye, treasure of my life, please tell me what you did with all those pink ping pong balls, the father requested.

The son nodded and the father gripped his hand tighter.

`I-' the son started and sat up a bit, swallowing with a dry mouth.

`I- I-'

Then he died.

Lisa · 7 March 2009, 04:42 PM

Hmmm... i need more 'splaining on that one. Besides, you can't go to medical school right out of 12th grade (not that that has anything to do with things...)

Brunotheboxer · 7 March 2009, 11:15 PM

You people really don't get it? Maybe try rereading it. I'm pretty sure that one of you did get it.

Mosco · 8 March 2009, 02:00 AM

Ummmm... not a clue.

I must think really slow.... I can't draw any conclusions, Bruno. Can you spell it out for me?

Could it be that the punch line has nothing to do with the story leading up to things? Is that funny?

Brunotheboxer · 8 March 2009, 02:21 AM

I really don't want to ruin it for others who have yet to read it.

Lisa · 8 March 2009, 02:46 AM

I give up. I'll check back later to see if all has been revealed...

Mosco · 8 March 2009, 03:23 AM

Bruno - I know others are telling you to stop taking whatever it is, but can you send me some?

Well, I'm sorry to be so dense but I still don't know what you're talking about! This explanation doesn't help at all.

This joke is a "time waster" joke. The first version I heard of it was over 15 yrs. ago, and the kid wanted "green golf balls" and was a race car driver. The whole point of the joke is to make someone listen as long as possible, and then leave them with no punchline.

It works best verbally, and doesn't work at all in written form.
