About This Item

Austin's Joke Book Travel Bug

This travel bug has reached its destination and has arrived in the hands of Austin, who enjoyed picking it up (they made a family day of it) immensely! PLEASE DO NOT PICK UP THIS TRAVEL BUG!!!

This travel bug is now in a prime spot to be picked up by its intended new owner! It has travelled over 6,300 miles to reach him, and took about 3 years to get there, but it's finally within a few miles of Austin, ready to deliver laughs and fun from many folks all across America!

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS BUG'S JOURNEY! We'll keep you posted about how it all turns out!

I'm sending this waterproof joke book to my 6 year old nephew Austin, who currently lives near Trenton, Missouri, but anywhere near Kansas City is fine (his grandmother geocacher bondradine geocaches near KC).

When you get this bug, feel free to take a week or so to read through the jokes and then add one to it. Then, place it in a cache that is at least 500 feet closer to its target destination.

You can take up to a full page if you need to, but please no long "Shaggy Dog" stories. Short, funny, kid-appropriate jokes only. One-liners or two-liners are fine. Dumb-silly jokes are ok. Austin is almost 7 years old now; sick ("dead baby" jokes for example), racist, or "adult" humor jokes are inappropriate; please don't include them. If you don't know if a joke is appropriate, contact me and ask before you write it in the book. Sign your joke with your geocaching username and date it, like so:

Q: "How do you catch a unique rabbit?"
A: "Unique up on it!"

Picked this up today and will be moving it along to the SLC area later this week. Here is a cute joke my wife told me last week.

A few months ago a cat died and went of to heaven. Upon arrival he met up with God. God stated, "You have lived a very good life on earth. You may have anything you desire." The cat thought for a moment then replied, "You know God, I lived all my life in that rugged barn, sleeping on the dirt floor every night. I would like nothing more than a big fluffy pillow to spend eternity on." With that God gave the cat a big fluffy pillow.
A week went by and a little mouse died and appeared before God. God stated,"You have lived a very good life on earth. You may have anything you desire." The mouse thought for a moment and replied,"You know God, I have spent my whole life running from cats, dogs, and other larger animals. It would be great if I could get a pair of roller skates to get around on." With that God gave the mouse a pair of roller skates. Over the course of the next couple of weeks several other mice died and asked for roller skates as well. God was more than happy to oblige as they had all led very good lifes.
A week later God decided he out to go out and check on his charges. First he came across the cat to which he asked,"How are you getting along? Are you enjoying the big fluffy pillow?
The cat responded, "Yes God, the pillow has been fantastic, and the extra's even better." Curious, God asked," what extra's?" To which the cat replied, "Oh, you know, those Meals on Wheels you keep sending by are delicious."
