I feel like these don't work well because the punchline comes in the middle of the joke. Let's try rearranging some: > Why did the scarecrow win a prize? For years, he rotted, until he was forgotten. He was outstanding in his field. > How does a penguin build a house? Like all animals, it is an automaton, driven by blind genetic imperative, marching slowly to oblivion. Igloos it together. > I don’t really like playing soccer. Like all of humanity, I pretend to enjoy things, and others pretend to care about my charade. I just do it for kicks. > You hear about the moon restaurant? If you eat there, you forfeit your life, which would make no difference to the universe as a whole. My rating: good food, no atmosphere. I think they read better this way.
