Why did the tomato turn red?

Alex

Is this going to be a bad joke?

Yara

I don’t tell bad jokes.

Alex

You tell awful jokes.

Yara

I do not!

Alex

I could make a list of your bad jokes and it would form a full-length novel.

Yara

Alex

I don’t know, Yara. Why?

Yara

Because it saw the salad dressing.

Alex

Lose my number.
