Cucumber slicer worked better when the joke first appeared in 1890.

This guy didn’t even get the delivery right. He’s supposed to tell his wife he was fired for sticking his dick in the pickle slicer, then she asks “what happened with the pickle slicer” and he says “oh, she was fired too”

THANK you. I couldn’t get past my visceral response to having one’s penis sliced and diced.

Yes, but she's at least the very least retired by now

Nah, she was fired and couldn't find work anywhere as a cucumber slicer because people told this joke for the next 130 years.

Well yeah but they thought tomatoes were poisonous so naturally they wouldn't have them in a professional kitchen.

I don't think they had cucumbers in 1890.

Corn huskers maybe.

As a MOF, it works well with corn, corn shucker, corn husker.

Yeah! He got caught with in in the corn shucker! in 1890.

I hope you’re joking and don’t seriously think cucumbers didn’t exist in 1890.

It's a variation of an older joke. The implication is that "tomato slicer" is a job position.

Dish washer might work better.

There is no one job of doing nothing but slicing tomatoes.

This joke can be inclusive quite easily, as well.

“I got fired for sticking my duck in the dish washer.”

“What happened to the dishwasher?”

“He got fired too.”

See, inclusive.

Yeah. The phrasing doesn't work as well as the original joke.

>Bill worked in a pickle factory. He had been employed there for a number of years when he came home one day to confess to his wife that he had a terrible compulsion. He had an urge to stick his penis into the pickle slicer. His wife suggested that he should see a sex therapist to talk about it, but Bill indicated that he'd be too embarrassed. He vowed to overcome the compulsion on his own. One day a few weeks later, Bill came home absolutely ashen. His wife could see at once that something was seriously wrong.

>"What's wrong, Bill?" she asked.

>"Do you remember that I told you how I had this tremendous urge to put my penis into the pickle slicer?"

>"Oh, Bill, you didn't."

>"Yes, I did."

> "My God, Bill, what happened?"

> "I got fired."

>"No, Bill. I mean, what happened with the pickle slicer?"

>"Oh...she got fired too."

A few of us have heard this joke before, there's different variants but the punchline is usually a bit more clear that "thing you thought was a machine" is actually a woman.

While the older joke may be the correct answer, fired in a restaurant also means in the process of cooking “fire hamburger for table twenty” The dick got cooked

Right, further complicating a botched joke. Plus, for a minute I was thinking about fried tomatoes – thanks, dyslexia.

I forgot the show this was from but one character was a super rich guy in his mansion:

Girl: “How does your dish washer work?”

Billionaire: “You just wordlessly press the trays into his chest”

In the coffee maker. He and the barista were both fired and are now banned from all Starbucks locations.

the penis and the tomato slicer were fired?

ringobob t1_j4ne9gn wrote

The restaurant worker, and the person who sliced tomatoes, who is also presumably a restaurant worker.

The choice of jobs here leaves much to be desired. It's like having an AI who actually understands the setup and the punchline rewrite the joke, and it does it in the worst way possible.

A friend of mine once showed up at a Halloween party completely naked except for a bag of peanuts draped over his member.

I caught him at the door and asked "Are you fecking crazy?!"

He replied "No, I'm fecking nuts!"

I gotta confess. I thought the tomato slicer was a machine, shaped like a tomato, that cut fruit. And the guy, and his now severed tomato shaped penis were fired. As if the penis had a job. 10/10

Could be that "the tomato slicer" is a machine that was "fired" (switched ON) on the spot?
