Longest time it took you to get a joke

[Sronpop]

Knock Knock!

Who's there?

Phyllis!

Phyllis who?

Phyllis a glass of water!

Took me years to get that one, first heard it as a child and didn't know Phyllis was a real name, I always heard it as 'Fill us', why do you want some water? o_0

Where did you learn to give mouth to mouth?
French class.

I did not get that joke for years.

Didn't get it till i did a computing course in college.
Took years.

Hehe, I just have to say, that's a good one.

Personally, about five or six years of hearing my older brother saying, " "I see, I see!" said the blind man peeing into the wind, "It's all coming back to me!" " I finally got it in the middle of a class in high school. Let me tell you, randomly laughing loudly in the middle of a lecture it not a good idea.

There are still some jokes people have told me years ago which I don't get

 

[The Coop]

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long face?"


I heard the joke once when I was a kid. I didn't get it, and so forgot about it. Quite a few years later, for whatever reason, it popped back into my head. A few moments later, I got it.

The way I felt at that moment... was like an idiot, relieved, and like I'd won the lottery.

 

[DirtyMagic]

A drunk man walks into a bar. I always waited for people to finish the joke, but that is the finished joke. HE walks into a bar, presumably hitting his head, and falling over.

Ooohhhh, look at that. It requires a bit of thought.

I've certainly had to re-read/listen/watch reference or pun-heavy material to get everything, but I couldn't put an exact figure on the longest time it's taken me to get something.

This sort of thing takes me a little while, being not terribly familiar with the various breeds of dog:

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

The whole joke about Mickey Mouse breaking up with Minnie. If you don't know, it goes

'So you're breaking up with her because she's insane?'
'No, it's because she's fucking goofy.'

It took me so long to figure out goofy = the character, not goofy = silly.
