1. How many tickles does it take to make an Octopus laugh? Ten-tickles.

2. How does a dog stop a video? By hitting the paws button!

3. People think "icy" is the easiest word to spell. Come to think of it, I see why.

4. My teachers told me I'd never amount to much because I procrastinate so much. I told them, "Just you wait!"
