'Funny Mummy'

Steve Bartman evidently spends a lot of his time being very silly with his grandchildren. Not that being silly is bad -- quite the contrary, but to come up with more than 350 of these mummy jokes, puns, and riddles takes time. If you can't come up with your own -- I can remember a summer with an uncle where we came up with a long list of fire in the shoe factory jokes of this ilk -- and want some inspiration for your own grandchildren, you could do worse than to tantalize them with recurring images of ancient Egypt.

Here are some samples:

1. What did the Italian archaeologist say when he opened the sarcophagus? "Mummy mia!"
2. What do you call it when you go crazy in the desert? "Insandity."
3. What was the mummy team's favorite team? "Ra, Ra, Ra."
