No-Knock Jokes

John Derbyshire over at National Review's The Corner blog comes up with a couple of Hudson-inspired no-knock jokes. The first one actually made me laugh--your mileage may vary.

relates to the drug war listed below. I guess there could be a reason for a no-knock warrant without the drug war, but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

My mileage varied. Thanks for the thought though.

Here's mine:

Knock Knock.

Who's there?

The Police.

Oh c'mon, everyone knows the police don't knock. Who's really there?

----Ok, so that one's not funny either.----

I liked juggler's no knock joke better than the NRO ones, you should submit it.

Police don't knock. But every breath you take, every move you make, they'll be watching you.

Knock, Knock

Who's there?

Coroner.

Coroner who?

Coroner who's been brought in now that the police are done surprising you.

AAAaaagh!

SHUTUP! GET ON THE GROUND! HANDS BEHIND YER HEAD!

AAAaaagh! what the... ugh.

With full government surveillance this wouldn't be a problem at all. They would just know whether or not you are breaking the law.

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.

No knock!

Who's not there?

The first one is just stupid. If anything, I'd be less enthusiastic about having a handgun ready on my nightstand if I knew that the thugs bursting into my home at midnight might be cops.

Not that I have any respect for thuggish cops, but I really don't relish being treated as a cop killa.

Sorry Juggs, that WAS funny.

Now I'm off to the beach for a drink and some jazz.

Ruthless | June 18, 2006, 9:05pm | #

Second TWC, Juggs.
heh heh

HappyJuggler, this is slightly more snappy:


Knock knock

Who's there?

Not the police.

In a strange turn of events, SCOTUS overturns their previous ruling and lays out the new procedure for entering a suspect's home:

Woman: [not opening the door] Yes?

Voice: (mumbling) Mrs. Arlsburgerhhh?

Woman: What?

Voice: (mumbling) Mrs. Johannesburrrr?

Woman: Who is it?

Voice: [pause] Flowers.

Woman: Flowers? From whom?

Voice: [long pause] Plumber, ma'am.

Woman: I don't need a plumber. You're that clever shark, aren't you?

Voice: [pause] Candygram.

Woman: Candygram, my foot. Get out of here before I call the proper authorities. You're the shark, and you know it.

Voice: I'm only a harmless dolphin...

Woman: A dolphin? Well...okay. [opens door]

[ she opens the door, as the shark pulls her screaming into the hallway ]
