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."

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.)

xoxoxoBruce · 01-07-2006, 11:26 PM

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

wolf · 01-09-2006, 10:50 AM

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

mrnoodle · 01-09-2006, 01:02 PM

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.

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

I've never heard "No soap, radio" either.

But I did overhear a couple of girls telling a very long involved joke with a nonsense punchline when I was on a school trip. It was something to do with a woman visiting a doctor & getting paint for her bike instead of tablets, and was supposed to be really rude - the implication being that if you didn't get the joke you were square & boring. The girl they were telling it to agreed it was disgusting and they immediately asked her to explain it.

About an hour later I was told the same joke myself and was able to say, "I really don't get that! Can you explain it because I feel really stupid now?" Faced with such wide-eyed acting they relented & admitted it wasn't a dirty joke at all.

Clodfobble · 01-13-2006, 01:32 PM

It works even better if you say, "I don't get it," with a skeptical raised eyebrow, thus implying that the joke must really suck if someone as hip as you doesn't get it.
