A MAN from the census bureau was doing a door-to-door survey. He knocked on the door of one house and was greeted by a young boy.
The man asked the child if anybody else was home and when the boy shook his head, he decided nevertheless to try to get the information he needed. "May I please know your father's first name?"
The boy answered, "My father's name is Laughing."
Although the name surprised the census man, he pressed on. "And your mother's name?"
"Her name is Smiling," the boy replied.
The man quipped, "Wait a minute, little boy! Are you kidding?"
"No, that's my sister," the boy answered. "I'm Joking!"
