  • Wikipedia is not a jokebook - Speedy delete this joke. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 03:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Also as per nominator. Notable or sourced material, if any, could find a better home within a related article. J. T. Lance 04:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per everyone above Corpx 04:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Cut and Shoot this article and its authors. A subclass of puns with no assertion of notability. No sources cited to show that this class of jokes has been non-trivially discussed. Too unfunny for WP:BJAODN. Unfortunately jokes don't seem to fall under WP:CSD#A7 ... cab 04:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom, and don't let it anywhere near WP:BJAODN.Pedro |  Chat  09:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • DelAire-te? Oh well, I tried. Per nom. Concur on no reference to WP:BJAODN, let's not encourage more bad puns like mine. - RPIRED 12:57, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a jokebook. It's especially not a collection of crappy jokes like this. Keep it the heck outta BJAODN too. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 16:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a joke book. JIP | Talk 17:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all the above espicially per the not joke book argument--JForget 23:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete If we can't have grape jokes, I'm afraid these must go too. GassyGuy 08:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Grape jokes?! Surely, you're stoned. (Wait, that's almost a geology joke. Almost. Never mind.) --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 21:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into article about jokes or puns, or, for that matter, teaching of geography. Geography jokes are not a notable category, however, that would stand as a separate article. It's like a location joke-- "you had to be there". Mandsford 02:19, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable. Also, unlike what the article states, geography jokes do not always require a name of a place which also sounds as though it has another meaning. For example, Q: Why is the Mississippi such an unusual river? A: Because it has four eyes and can't see! (laugh here.) Julie (1992) with Julie Andrews premiere episode related to moving a TV show from California to Sioux City, Iowa and had some geography jokes related to the differences between the two locations. -- Jreferee (Talk) 19:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is Fucking Silly. --Targeman 02:36, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia isn't a place to post about jokes, particularly if the jokes aren't themselves notable. Uncyclopedia may be a bit more suitable.--Kylohk 10:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Why isn’t this page deleted yet?... Now I don’t want to Hurt the feelings of the Crackpot who wrote this article, but the PUNS are truly Bland and Boring. So let’s not further Embarass the author and give him Hell for his Peculiar taste in humor. :o) --Targeman 12:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
