Psychic Vegetables and the Things They Have Told Me
78Psychic Vegetables and The Things They’ve Told Me
Actually, the vegetables are not psychic, just a little bit strange. And strangely, the psychic is me.
So I am writing about Strange Vegetables and the Things They Have Told Psychic Me.
If this hub contains just a particle of wit,
Then thank Stan Fletcher. He’s the one who started it.
You all know about my Interviews that are supernatural, right?
With my psychic powers, I asked these strange vegetables to keep it light.
Just tell me a joke or a humorous story, And all of us will be covered with glory.
First I spoke with the Artichokes,
They wanted to tell knock, knock jokes.
“Knock, knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Fornication.”
“Fornication who?”
“Fornication like this, you should wear socks and shoe(s).”
That was so bad I had to grin and bear it, I think I will go and find me a carrot.
The Carrots asked, “What is orange and sounds like a parrot?
Do you give up? The answer, my friend, is a carrot.” (Think about this one).
I asked the Beans for favorite lines, And they came up with these:
“It’s not the first mouse, you know, But the second that gets the cheese.”
“What’s a metaphor?” was the Lettuce’s questioning phrase.
Answer: “For cows and sheep to have a safe place to graze,”
The Cabbage then said with a snarl and a scoff,
“Sex on TV can’t hurt you . . . unless you fall off.”
“What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t work.” asked the Eggplant - he’s thick.
“A broken boomerang,” I answered? “No,” said the Eggplant. “You call it a stick.”
The white Radish had this question for me – I think he must have been an albino.
“What do you do with an elephant with three balls? Walk him and pitch to the rhino.”
I got this one from Asparagus. He seldom drives; just takes the bus.
“A grasshopper walks into a bar, you see.
The bartender says we have a drink named after thee.
Really, says the grasshopper, turning red,
Why would anyone name a drink, Fred?”
The Brussels sprouts had the best riddle that I have heard this year.
“How much do pirates pay for their earrings?
Answer – A buccaneer/”
The Celery asked, “Why did the Amish couple get divorced?”
I haven’t a clue. Answer: “He was driving her buggy?” Of course.
That was lame so I moved on to the Beets. They were all on Twitter and twitting tweets,
Those beets are actually such fools. They have the IQ of garden tools.
The Broccoli asked, “What’s the difference between boogers and broccoli?”
I said, “I don’t really know.” They said. “It’s simple; kids won’t eat broccoli. (Ugh!)
The Cauliflower told me this charming beguiler:
“What has 4 legs and one arm?” Answer: “a Rottweiler!”
The Onion asked, “What’s the difference between an accordion and an onion?”
Give up? “No one ever cries when you cut up or slice an accordion.” (Sorry, AKirchner).
“The toilet seats were stolen from police headquarters,” said the Pumpkin.
“Now all the police personnel have absolutely nothing to go on.”
The Peas told me about this dyslexic guy – he walked into a bra.
I think that is impossible but they say they know what they saw.
The Turnips discussed a new pill; it makes you feel good but you become dull.
“What’s it called?” I asked. They answered, “Prosaic.” OMG, that joke is archaic.
Here’s the doozy from the Rutabagas.
“Excuse me, does this bus go ‘to Las Vegas?’”
I promise when you read the answer you’ll weep.
“No, I’m sorry, this bus goes beep, beep, beep.”
Now a great big finish from the Spinach. I just hope it doesn’t damage my image.
Two guys were walking their dogs. One had a large German shepherd. The other had a tiny Chihuahua.
The shepherd owner said, “Let’s go into this bar for a drink.”
The other guy asked, “Will they let us in with our dogs, ya think?”
“Watch this.” He puts on dark glasses and acts like his shepherd is a Seeing Eye.
Then he walks into the bar, orders a drink, and sits there like any other guy.
So the second man puts on his dark glasses and walks his Chihuahua into the bar without fear.
The bartender says gently, “I’m sorry, fellow, but we do not allow any dogs in here.”
And the man says, “It’s okay, this is my Seeing Eye dog, you know.”
The bartender laughs hysterically and says, “This Chihuahua is your Seeing Eye dog? Whoa.”
And the guy says . . . “They gave me a Chihuahua???!!!”
Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside.

Haha, that was great! What a fun way to begin the day. Loved the illustrations too. Must pay closer attention to the spinach before I tear into it today! :D
OMYGarsh!-- this is to much for a pun-o-holic with a corny joke side addiction.
I'll have to admit that I don't yet get the one about the Rotweiler, but the boogers and Fred came across perfectly.
I have a vegetable garden every year,,, and was much more comfortable with that, when I knew I did not have to interview them.
Thnaks.

This was so funny, I'll never be able to eat a carrot again without laughing.
Bob must be dislexic as he walks into a bra every time I come home from work!
Vegetables are strange -- and you are what you eat. This was so bad, I have to give five stars for badness. Lynda
OHMYGOSH! DRBJ!
You are toooooo funny!
And now I know why!
Your association with
Psychotic veggies
Has left you "far out" and high!
I couldn't stop laughing! So much wisdom, common sense & subtlety in those weird roots, stems, fruits and leaves! Who knew? I always regarded lettuce as overly serious, beans as about as wise as a teenager, cabbage as too straight-laced, radishes as dead-heads - not so!! And never did I expect an eggplant to love shaggy dog humor! And on and on. A whole new world right in the produce section! Except - - broccoli. . . . it's gross! I've been its champion, but it's let me down now!
That finish is TOOOOOOOOO TOOOOOOOOOOOO. . .. . . . EXQUISITE! I never knew George Carlin had a spinachy cousin! But it does explain a lot of things!
OHMYGOSH,
Dear Doc,
You have it all.
You' re not only psychic,
You're off the wall!!
drbj, could you ask your psychic vegetable friends the lottery numbers in the UK this weekend? Wow, I didn't know that veggies had such a sense of humour - so funny!
.
The things I do for friendship! :-)))
Psychicdog loved it! Laughing all the way. Can i ask was the lettuce's joke that metaphor sounds like meadow for? Did I get it drbj?
drbj, you really gave me enough jogging on the inside with this hub! I do not understand how you can put a hub like this together, and succeed in getting every single joke funny on its own! You are a master of jokes! And every vegetable will have a new meaning from now on:))
Oh very nice. I tried to do something similar and was way off. Very very good! Well done again drbj!
You are soo funny. My favorites, Buccaneer and Rottweiler. I usually don't like many Vegies, but they're funny and i love to laugh. More please.
Cheers
This is over-the-top creative. I'm serious, one of the best hubs I've ever read. When I saw what you were trying to do, and the length of the hub, I had my doubts if you could make it all the way to the end. I should have known better. And the chihuahua joke was a killer. Loved it. Loved them all. Thanks for playing along!
What do you mean vegetables aren't psychic?! I never go anywhere without first consulting my salad. Rated tres funny. Loved the chihuahua joke the best too :)
.
Yes, yes, you are correct once more. I forgot that we are now married, so please forgive me :-)))
Hahaha “What’s the difference between boogers and broccoli?” “...kids won’t eat broccoli!" Loved it!
I really had a good chuckle on this one! The thing that got it out loud belly laugh was the cartoon of the 'Flower store' being closed. If only you knew my Dad! My mom used to get so mad at him! He'd come home with all sorts of veggies, never once bringing flowers.... When I got older I'd make sure and have a florist deliver her some flowers at least once a year, just to see her smile.
She said she didn't mind the veggies so much, it was just that he expected her to cook them for him! "What kind of gift is that?" was her question...
Just so you know, I look for new Hubs of yours every day... Just waiting to see what you'll come up with next!
Good Doctor bj - and you advised ME to get back on my meds!
Gus :-)))
p.s.: funny stuff, even the dopey ones.
DRBJ and her talking vegetables
Uplifted me this morning interpretable
with delighting jokes – they’re indisputable
unbeatable – even for breakfast they're the most delectable edibles.
:))))
Winged words: “Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside.”
Have a wonderful day, drbj. Call me your number one wise cabbage :)))
I do love your pictures and your closing simile! After reading this, I'll never become a vegetarian!
I can not beleive this...
I once said, " I would even enjoy reading your shopping list "...
Hahahaha, This is so cute !
Not only do we now see certain well documented ( but never as interested as you made them )famous historical people in a different light.
I will never make a stew again without checking what my veg has been up too.
Please please please, give us some meat jokes ahhghghghg I can't wait hahaha
I think perhaps the eggplant's joke is the best.
But they are all funny.
Hello buddy, LOL well you are my favorite funny guy, very charming personality trait...lmao...so from now on I am going to try to communicate with my veggies, heck sounds like a cool relationships, any advise on how to get the VIB going. Love you and I love this hub rate up up up peace & love darski
... well I will never have another 'veg - ga - table' again without laughing out so loud at your inimitable wit, style and charm - They should put your hubs into the Smithsonian Institute - so a future race of Hubbers can see how it's properly done ...
"“Sex on TV can’t hurt you . . . unless you fall off.”"
I gotta say I liked that one, you my friend are deff becoming the place to visit for to be cheered up although I was gutted to hear Giselle was spoken for, oh well just gotta keep lookin for the redhead of my dreams.
You just keep getting better, loved this hub !
A great idea to write this hub and a good laugh. Thank you.
I would love to get inside your head and visit. I would steal some of your talent and wit! This hub is wonderful. My favorite is the "metaphor"...and the the cartoons are magnificent. (the carrots made me laugh the loudest) Outstanding job!
Loved laughing at the jokes from you and your veggies! I especially enjoyed the one about the second mouse. Laughter is not only "jogging inside", it's also the very best medicine and essential to a happy life. JAYE
Absolutely delightful. I'm always looking for new ways to use vegetables...never thought of them as conversationalists. Oops, gotta go. I hear the rutabaga calling from the crisper drawer! Super read. Rated up and very, very funny!
Behind as usual....just discovered this - how hilarious. Love the talking veggies and thanks so much for including me.....yes, many people cry when I play the accordion and my dogs howl. I'm sure it is because I am so talented they just want to join in and they are moved to tears....yeah right!
Voted up as usual - you are TOOOO FUNNY!
Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside. I love that quote!
Very clever!
I loved reading this - and especially the booger joke! Further to the buccaneers have you heard the one about the guy who goes to a fancy-dress party dressed as a pirate. At the door his host greets him with, "Hello, where are your buccaneers?" "Under me buccanhat," the guest replies.
Just thought since you laid all those others on us I'd return the compliment, so to speak!
Thanks for the many giggles.
Love and peace
Tony
This certainly had me in hysterics, great fun and very clever of you too.
I like the eggplant's wit, and the onion is pretty observant!
I never knew vegetables could be so interesting!
Oh man,
u r real funny
To funny and so good they gave me a what.....
Love your amazing gift to make us laugh. You girl are insanely talented and what a great gift to have. You can heal the world with your laughter factor.
:) Katie
VU!
(voted up)
This has got to be one of the funniest things I have read any where! :D The timing of reading this hub is amazing and it will be one of the links in my next hub which is kinda sorta related.
I really love vegetable.
Hi again (drbj)Good to be back on your out of site [SITE} There were these two ASPARGUS on the sunny side of a highway.One moved to the shady side and convinced his budy to join him. while crossing over got hit by a truck and was transported to the hospital only to be told his budy would live"But he would allways be a VEGITABLE}.ED.Stay happy.
That was fun drbj but I wont lie-I didn't get some of them. I guess I'm one of those that's a little lame when it comes to jokes and riddles. Fun stuff.

drbj, That was hysterical. You are quite talented with your vegetable talk and the jokes were very funny,
