Age-appropriate jokes for pre-school kids?

Question

I'm looking for a few jokes to tell the pre-schoolers I teach....they need to be age-appropriate for 3-5 year olds, in the sense that the kids will "get" them, and also in the sense that they're not about bodily functions or anything of that nature....silly, cute jokes. I'm wearing out the "interrupting cow" joke, as well as that knock-knock joke about bananas and oranges. Any suggestions? Again, keep it CLEAN, simple and appropriate...

I have a great idea. Why don't you look for a relatively new book called "Knock, Knock" by fourteen authors and illustrators? It's ideal for preschool children. Trust me, your students will love it--if not for the jokes then for the wonderful illustrations. Curiously, I just read this book to my students last week, and the Kindergarten children especially found the jokes hysterical. Here's a link to the book:
