While 4chan is one of the most visited humor communities on the web, it has a reputation as being a little... seedy. There is definitely some unsavory content on there, I'm not gonna lie... but 4chan is also the place where many of our most famous and popular memes got their start, and some of their pranks have been funny and even helpful.

The Joke of The Day
Kid Jokes :: #3912
By Anonymous from USA.

Little Pete came home from the playground with a bloody nose, black eye, and torn clothing. It was obvious he'd been in a bad fight and lost. While his father was patching him up, he asked his son what happened.

"Well, Dad," said Pete, " I challenged Larry to a duel. And, you know, I gave him his choice of weapons."

"Uh-huh," said the father, "that seems fair."

"I know, but I never thought he'd choose his sister!"
