Groan joke
A Real Groaner..
Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea, one called Justin, the other called Christian. The
prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that inhabited the area.
Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm fed-up with being a prawn. I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn't have any worries
about being eaten."
A large and mysterious cod appeared and said "Your wish is granted" and lo and behold, Justin turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian
immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate.
Time passed (as it invariably does) and Justin found life as a shark boring and lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to
them. Justin didn't realise that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight. While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious
cod again and he thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn.
He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and lo and behold, found himself turned back into a prawn. With tears of joy in his tiny little
eyes Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail.
(The real punchline does not involve prawn cocktails, it's much worse.)
Looking around the gathering at the reef he realised he couldn't see his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked.
"He's at home, still distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark," came the reply.
Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, Justin set off to Christian's abode. As he opened the coral gates memories
came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again!"
Christian replied, "No way man, you'll eat me. You're a shark, the enemy, and I'll not be tricked into being your
dinner."
Justin cried back " No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've changed, I've found Cod. I'm a prawn again, Christian."
