Chuckle-Naps
The Napkins With a Smile! Yep, here's my boxset of provocative Chuckle-Naps, featuring adorable artwork and lots of looney limericks, gags, and semi-mirthy verses to wipe all over your dirty little mouths. I'm not sure when these originally came out, one online source says the 60's, but judging from the artwork, (in my humble opinion), these look a decade or two older. A fun set, with no manufacturer listed either-- they sure don't make napkins like they used to-- or chuckles!
oh man i love these!!! the illustrations are so cute!
ReplyDeletetoo bad they didn't include the man from nantuckett limerick :)
Beloved entertainment from my childhood. I'd usually read everybody's when I'd go with my parents and their friends to a nearby supper club.
ReplyDeleteI think the Australian limerick only really works if you read it in the proper accent. This led me to initially believe maybe these jokes were from abroad, but then I saw that the IOWA / SAMOA poem only really works if you read it--no one's gonna suspect you're word-playing with the state name if you pronounce it I-OWE-Uh--so now I'm not so sure. But speaking of Aussie accents:
ReplyDeleteWhat do diplomats from down under eat when they visit the NASA cafeteria? The spice rice! Badump bump!
Fun limericks and jokes from a more innocent time, no nned for cuss words when a risqué phrase did just as well, if not better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, gang-- lots more on the way as I make my millionth attempt to get my blog priorities back on track here (things might get a little scary in the next post though, just warning ya!)
ReplyDeleteI have that same set as well as these similarly themed napkins: http://garagesalin.blogspot.com/2014/12/pour-votre-bouche-immonde.html
