    Well, personally I found THIS to be the funniest damned joke in the world, but maybe ya'll will see it differently. ;-)

    Tom, aged nine, runs into the bathroom just as his much older sister steps out of the shower. Fast as a snake she wraps a towel around her and shouts:
    - What are you doing? Don't you know how to knock?
    - Can't you take your towel off for me, please?

    The sister gets angrier and says
    - Are you crazy? No - I'm not going to take off my towel for you!
    - Please, I have to check something. Besides, I've seen you naked lots of times, so it's not something new for me.
    - Ok, ok...

    The sister sighs and takes off her towel.
    - There - are you happy?

    Tom lets out a sigh of relief:
    - Phew... My friend Jack said that you got dick this weekend.
