The popularity of the carrot is not simply due to its health benefits, delicious flavour and ease of growing. Carrots have become popular at least in part because of the way they have entered the public imagination. Much of the credit must go to Bugs Bunny, who first appeared on our screens in 1938. Bugs has had numerous catchphrases, the most prominent being a casual "Eh... What's up, doc?", usually said while chewing a carrot. From this moment on carrots were associated with fun and enjoyment.

ones:
JOKE A.

To which you simply answer "Shredded carrot and cabbage in mayonnaise.".... Aargh!!
JOKE B. A guy walks into a doctors office with a carrot in his ear and a piece of celery up his nose. He says: " Doc, I don't know what's wrong with me!" The doctor thinks for a while, and finally says "bingo! I know what's wrong with you!" The patient says "Really? What is it?". "You're not eating right."
JOKE C .There was this guy who was eating out when this lady noticed a piece of corn in his ear. He pulled it out, then forgot about it and carried on. Then he found a chunk of carrot but he still continued oblivious to the world. Then he found a pea. The lady had enough exclaiming, "Are you sick or something?" "No but the last guy sat next to me was," came the reply.
JOKE D. How do you make gold soup?? Answer take 22 carrots!!
JOKE E . There were two carrots walking down the road, a big carrot and a little carrot. On the other side of the road they see their friend cabbage in his cabbage patch.

After several hours the doctor comes out. "I have some good news and some bad news." Big carrot says "Ok doc, go ahead, I can take it." The doctor says, "Well the good news is that your friend is going to live, but the bad news is he's going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life."
