A Weather Notebook Joke Show, next on… well, you know…
Every year, A Prairie Home Companion throws caution to the gale-force wind, and tells
jokes for two hours. For the next two minutes, here is The Weather Notebook Joke
Show.
Here are Heather Liston, Amy Mayer, and friends. Last summer, it was so hot…How
hot was it?
It was so hot that: We went for coffee to pour on our laps – just to cool off!
It was so hot today…I saw a fire hydrant chasing a dog!
And this winter it was so cold … How cold was it?
The lawyers had their hands in their own pockets.
The Tidy Bowl Man was wearing ice skates.
It was so cold that I saw that dog frozen to a fire hydrant.
Meteorologist Keith Heidorn: Phone rings at the weather forecaster's house. His wife
answers and says to the caller: "Sorry, he can't come to the phone, he's shoveling six
inches of partly cloudy off the driveway."
David Laskin: How to predict weather in Seattle: If you can see Mt. Rainier, it's going to
rain. If not, it already is.
This is Shannon, daughter of our Marketing Manager Melody Nester: What does a
cloud wear when it is raining? Thunderwear!
Here’s Executive Producer, Peter Crane: Why shouldn’t you go outside when it is
raining cats and dogs? You might step in a poodle!
Climatologist Diane Stanitski: Q) What's worse than raining buckets? A) Hailing taxis!
Trish Anderton: Q) What do you call a sunny, warm day, which follows two rainy days?
A) Monday.
And finally, correspondent Bob Henson: By the way, did you hear about the cow that
was carried off by a tornado? It was an udder catastrophe!
Send your joke along to us at questions@weathernotebook.org. And if you don’t like
these, you can find me drowning my sorrows…at the nearest Isobar. Our show is
funded by Subaru of America, and produced by the Mount Washington Observatory.
