Buddhist Jokes

Apparently there is a little-known humor sub-genre of Buddhist jokes. I heard a couple of these on Sunday morning on NPR's To the Best of Our Knowledge. I surveyed the field by googling "Buddhist jokes" and came up with a number of sites. I must report to you that there are only two remotely funny Buddhist jokes. They are as follows:

Q: What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?
A: Make me one with everything. (Alternately, "Make me One with Everything.")

Q: Why couldn't the Buddhist vacuum his sofa?
A: He had no attachments.

Anybody got anything better than those?

A friend of mine wrote an amusing Zen Cone Poem several years ago.

"Dog and cat were walking by the river. Dog turned to cat and asked, 'Why do you always chase me?'
Dog turned and replied, 'That cherry tree we passed will soon bloom.'"
