Garden Gnome
One time a man was driving on the road when he got stopped by a gnome with red clothes.
The gnome said” I’m a red gnome and I want a strawberry”. The man gave him a strawberry and went on his business.
Later he got stopped by a gnome with yellow clothes.
The gnome said:” I’m a yellow gnome and I want a banana”. The man, slightly annoyed, gave him a banana and continued to drive.
He then got stopped by a gnome with blue clothes.
The man, now pissed, said to him:” Let me guess, you’re a blue gnome and you want a blueberry”
The blue gnome then said:” sir, please step out of the car”
Interesting Fact: In ancient Rome, small stone statues depicting the Greco-Roman fertility god Priapus, also the protector of floors, were frequently placed in Roman gardens.[1][2][3] Gnomes as magical creatures were first described during the Renaissance period by Swiss alchemist Paracelsus as “diminutive figures two spans in height who did not like to mix with humans”.[4] During this period, stone “grotesques“, which were typically garishly painted, 1-metre-tall (3.3 ft) figurines, were commonly placed in the gardens of the wealthy.[5] Among the figures depicted were gobbi (Italian for hunchbacks). In particular, Jacques Callot produced 21 versions of gobbi, which he engraved and printed in 1616. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_gnome#History )

How does a man on a moon get his haircut?
Eclipse it.
Interesting Fact: There is a total eclipse of the moon on the night of September 27-28, 2015. It happens to be the closest supermoon of 2015. It’s the Northern Hemisphere’s Harvest Moon, or full moon nearest the September equinox. It’s the Southern Hemisphere’s first full moon of spring. This September full moon is also called a Blood Moon, because it presents the fourth and final eclipse of a lunar tetrad: four straight total eclipses of the moon, spaced at six lunar months (full moons) apart. Phew! ( http://earthsky.org/tonight/total-lunar-eclipse-blood-moon-hunters-moon-september-27-28-2015 )

When is the moon not hungry?
When it is full!

Day 204 / 365
Ted and Fred were walking home from the pub. Ted says to Fred, “What a beautiful evening, look at the moon.” Fred stops and looks at Ted, “You are wrong, that’s not the moon, that’s the sun.” Both started arguing for a while when they come upon a real drunk walking in the other direction, so they stopped him. “Sir, could you please help settle our argument? Tell us what that thing is up in the sky that’s shining. Is it the moon or the sun?’ The drunk looked at the sky and then looked at them, and said,
“Sorry, I don’t live around here.”
