Wow, yeah!! That is completely hilarious!! Thanks for the reminder.

I so don't get it.

Cheebugga, cheebugga!

Lessee,
Hmmm,
There was this polar bear and he was walking along on the ice and he slipped. A penguin walked over and helped the bear stand up and the bear said to the penguin:
No soap, radio.

Get it? NO SOAP, radio!

The bear slipped on the ice. no soap radio. c'mon work with me here Bri.

Wow, that's different than I heard it, but it's funnier that way.

See, like back in college it went:

There were these two Aligators taking a shower, and the one says to the other, "Say, could you hand me a cigar?" and the other one says, "No soap, radio."

Oh, now I get it!!


:lol:

I guess

it's all in the way you tell it.

Except that I didn't have to look it up.

I really did hear it in college, from forksBob.

(I did look it up on Wikipedia before I posted that I 'got' it. I'm ashamed for trying to fool you all.)

I didn't think of it as a no soap, radio, but a link to itself would keep a blond as busy as a gerbil on a treadmill, thinking he's going somewhere. :)

Wolf: I remember it from Jr. high, I was surprised at the # of variations.

Bri: We forgive you.

xoB: Maybe it is more a cousin to the no soap joke.

It is a cyber variation of the bathroom stall grafitti where on the left wall it says "blonde neck exercises, see opposite wall" and on the right wall it says "blonde neck exercises, see opposite wall"
;)

After hearing you all talk about this, I can't understand how I managed to live a half-century and never ONCE hear this soap/radio joke. Or maybe I did hear it, but since it made no sense at all I simply wiped it from my mind :neutral:

You had to hang out with the right kind of people.

A joke that no one gets but everyone pretends to, the point of which is to exclude those who aren't in on the telling? You've summed up the Democratic party platform nicely.

I'm here all week, tip your waitpersons and drive safely.

Actually, it sounds like the K Street Project...
