Insulator Jokes

This is the first insulator joke I read on ICON. It was posted by David Boothroyd on December 15, 2009.

What do you get if you irritate a Whitall-Tatum? Answer: You get a Whitall-Tantrum.

Here are some other insulator jokes that are variations of well-known ones.

1. How do you get down off of an insulator? Answer: You don't. You get down off of a duck.

2. Two insulator hunters are climbing poles to recover insulators when one of them falls from a crossarm. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls 9-1-1. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?". The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a loud thud. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?"

3. A woman walks into the Mid-Ohio insulator show, holding a composition insulator on her thumb. The show host at the door say: "That's the ugliest insulator that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the back of the hall and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The show host just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll watch your turnip for you."

4. Two guys are out hunting insulators near a cemetary when they notice a funeral passing by on the nearby road. The first collector says to the other, "We should pause a moment and show some respect for the dead." So they bow their heads and stand in silance as car after car goes by. Finally, the second collector remarks, "There sure are a lot of cars. That person must have been well loved." The first collector replies, "Yes, she was. We would have been married 25 years tomorrow."

5. Bill and John were talking at an insulator show. Bill says, "Hey, guess what! I got an amber Hemingray-8 for my wife!" John relied enthusiastically, "What a great trade!"

6. Two men were hired to build a telephone line through a desert. The work was hard, involving digging a hole with a special shovel, placing the pole in the hole, and filling in the hole around the pole.In addition, the work was solitary since one man was assigned to the east end of the proposed line and the other man was assigned to the west end. After a week, the forman met the two men back at the main office and asked them how the work was going. The first man boosted that he had set poles for nearly a mile of line while the second man stated that he had managed to place only 6 poles. The forman then scolded the second worker for not being as hard-working as the first man whereupon the second man countered with, "Yea, but you should see how much of the pole he's leaving above ground."
